Hello,

While changing the oil over the weekend, I noticed a small sip-page of the exhaust system. Before it gets too late, I'd like to replace the gasket, but not sure if that's enough and how...

I've got a bit different issue with the gas gauge.

You'd start a car and it would show that you have no fuel (no empty light either) and the miles to empty tank would show "- -". I know that the...

twistab4pudd,

Did you get steering wheel controls to work with BluePower unit? I've been looking for awhile for navigation system to install, and none I could find thus far (Kenwood, Alpine,...

Great job! [thumbup]

Did you get steering wheel controls to work too? If so, which adapter did you get?

I've got my '05 XC70 at the dealer for 7500 miles service (52,000) and got a call that my rear brake pads and rotors need to be replaced. Somewhat not surprised for the brake pads at 52k, but rotors...

hi Kevin,

I'm looking into getting the double-din GPS installed in my '05 XC70 too, and have purchased an adapter from Scosche Industries (see part # below).

Which adapter did you get? Would...

hi Brave855,

I'm in US and the price from Red Bank Volvo seems the be the cheapest option in US ~$170 for aluminum ones including shipping.

Art,

You right, I just tried wing profile crossbars from XC90 on XC70 and they don't fit. The distance between rails on XC70 is a bit wider, so I'll need to look for XC70 version.

I have '05 XC70 and would like to get Wing profile Crossbars for it. Someone is selling a slightly used set from '05 XC90, and claims that they're the same.

I know they have different part #'s...

Anyone with Wing profile crossbars for an 05 xc70 they'd like to sell?

Thanks.

I had the same desire with removing the middle head rest on mine, and was told by the dealer that they are not removable :( - another safety feature. [happy]

Glad to hear you got them back.

I'd like to remove the one in the center of the back seat, do you know by any chance how to get it out?

Thanks.

Art, do you have similar diagram for '05 or later models that have 650 radio?

Thanks.

Great details, Willy, thanks.

I've found same part #8684591 and have bought double din adapter at the local dealer today. The only issue with it that it’s most likely won’t fit my ’05 while...

Hi Willy,

Nice pics, thanks for sharing. Did you buy Volvo double din adapter from Volvo dealer or did you get the after market one? If you have Volvo part # please let me know.

Thanks.

Looking for Wingprofile crossbars for an 05 xc70.

If you have a set you don't use and would like to sell, please let me know.

Thanks.

I get around 21-22Mpg with City/Highway driving on my '05 XC70

Just had 22.5k miles service done at the dealership, and one of the notes that came with it was remaining front and rear brakes wear. Both are at 6mm.

Since this is my first XC, would be nice to...

Nice Congrads!

Great pictures, Art. Thanks for posting.[thumbup] [thumbup]

Mine '05 does not have a cut in the skid plate, but I'm leaning towards ordering Hidden hitch online and installing it myself.
...

thanks for the picture, kschatwin. Seems that you had to cut skid plate, was it difficult to take it off? I wonder if there is a way to leave skid plate uncut.

I got '05 XC70 and was considering installing the hitch myself. The main use for it is to carry couple bikes.

There is a pretty decent price on the etrailer.com site and they claim that no...

I also have 05 XC and beleive that you should have 4 free services (7.5K, 15K, etc.) which include oil change. Not sure if you're aware of that, but I'd be working on the oil change myself...

Just got a Check Engine light on my XC70 driving to work this morning. It has almost 10K on it and it is alraming.

Called two dealers, and both were not available to look at/fix it today, but...

Ski MRG,

After complaining to the dealer and Volvo customer service about
1. Not mentioning any specifics on IPod adapter limitations in the brochure (adapter supports IPods that were obsolete by...
