Issue:
Soft / Spongy pedal. You can work the pedal to the floor over a 2-3 minute period. The brakes do work, the car stops. But the pedal moves too much before...

Any body have any experience with the IPD brake line kits? Did it stiffen your pedal, etc... did you like the build quality of the lines?

As I battle my brakes to improve the pedal response, I...

Yea, I will do this next. I will disassemble, clean, and lube the sliders, etc.

I put on the new clips. Basically zero difference. The new clips seemed much stronger and the distance from the two...

No. Its been that way since I got the vehicle about 8 - 9 months ago, and it did not have a fresh brake job.

Ok, I did some searching here on the forum and I see a lot of folks recommending replacing or double checking that the front brake caliper clips are installed correctly.

My condition is a pedal...

yea...that always happens.



Sorry, but are you saying the 07 does not leak and 06 does?

Yea, Ive been doing home work on wheels as well. I am sure someone with specific info will chime in, but I do not think those wheel sizes (with a similar to stock size tire) are going to be an issue...

Iroll_ Yea already did the upper mount and lower DB. They were trash. Car certainly feels much better. Very solid, that nice Volvo feel. I swear this 07 XC 70...

A few questions if I may:
Did you suck from the trans fill / check tube?
Did you run / drive in between?
Did you combine that with the more common method of push / pull from the trans lines? I...

Boy, that is helpful. Must of been a long day. LOL

I am a few weekends away from my scheduled trans flush. The first one since I have had this 07 beauty :)
I have read up on the methods most ppl here recommend using. I did not see anything on using...

Ok, great! Nice to a have a 2 minute fix from time to time.

Hello All,
2007 XC70 100K. I have known my headlights were off in terms of brightness. So, I took a closer peek at them and.... something looks very odd. I assume the bulb is not suppose to be...

Ok, well that sounds good to me on the VVT. I'll leave well enough alone :)


When the water pumps fail, do they usually just leak, or do the shafts seize causing the belt to shred, etc?

Hello All,
