Hi All,
I still have my 2001 XC70 and it had been running perfectly for many years. Last night I went to take it to a car dealership to look at something new - and when I started the car up, the...
Mine does the same thing - 2001...
Cool pic - what kind of boat is that? Looks like a 420 or 470 from the bow, but hard to say. I've driven those boats all around - they're pretty heavy beasts.
My parent's XC70 has over 350km (220 miles) on it - going fine with barely ANY issues over the entire life of the car.
God, what an idiot.
Fixed it - with the car on, I rolled the window up and kept my finger on the up-button. Turned it off and kept holding the up-bottom for 10 seconds. Let got, restarted - all is well.
Hope that...
BTW, I tried the battery disconnect procedure and letting the car sit unplugged for 10 mins - same problem.
If I start the car with the switch held back, the window stays up. But as soon as I let...
Today I replaced my rearview mirror - all went well.
Well, almost.
The mirror replacement procedure calls for disconnecting the battery, which I did. After re-connecting it, the car runs fine...
2001 and 2002's share the same AWD - I would assume earlier models are not exactly the same
At one point I noticed the controls on my drivers door started going. They'd only work intermittently. Now for the past year they haven't worked at all.
- Drivers window does work
- Drivers...
It should be pretty straight-forward - there's a great tutorial for it: tutorial link
Yes, if you simply transfer the whole unit over. But I am going to take apart both mirrors and only transfer over the new glass to my current mirror - so the electronics stay the same. The car won't...
Hi All,
For the last two months I have been putting off replacing my rearview mirror, as I couldn't find a part locally, and didn't have a lot of motivation for tinkering in the summer.
I'm now...
Thanks everyone, appreciate all the advice!
My rearview crapped out - has a big bubble that's slowly consuming the mirror. Great.
I read about buying a replacement, swapping out the glass and transferring the electronics. Sounds fairly...
Only been there once on my own car - they screwed up the scheduling and lost my original appointment, but otherwise they fixed my car's computer problem and didn't charge anything unreasonable. Not...

What happened to your car??
In 8" of heavy east coast snow, the car struggles for sure. Although I find as long as I don't come to a complete stop, it's usually fine. The only time I have gotten in trouble was trying to get...
Hey - original poster here. No, I never did get a solid answer about what it was. I respectfully disagree with some of the posters here as I firmly believe my car has no traction control - or it's...
I have occasionally pulled the e-brake when coasting in a corner and have found I can never break the rear loose. My old 850 used to spin like a top under those circumstances. I actually used to...
All I know is that with these transmissions (I'm on my original), I personally think that taking it easy on the car might go a long way. For example, I naturally lift off the gas slightly when I know...
Yep, our 2001-2002's suck at getting un-stuck from a dead stop. When you are already rolling, the car does a fine job at engaging the AWD. But from a dead stop it takes a lot of gas, and even then...
Is the noise only when you shift between drive/reverse, or as you let off the brake and start to move forward?
If the former, perhaps you have a sticking brake. My parking brake would stick at one...
