I wanted to follow up on this now that it has (hopefully) been resolved. Just got the car back from the dealer today. They ended up replacing the ABS module (with a used one) and things seems to be...
Yes, hadn't overlooked that earlier point, though seems I managed to post a clipped version of my response earlier today (leaving it dangling with a comma!). I think the mechanic is correct about the...
Thanks for the feedback from all. I should have been clearer on the "dry" caliper: basically there is no fluid running to that line. I was thinking it would be a failed caliper, but mechanic says...
Diminishing braking power (and a bit of "hissing" noise when pushing the pedal) in our 2002 XC70 (V70 XC) lead me to think that I would need to have the brake booster replaced. However, the car was...
What is the "receiver" size on the factory trailer hitch? 2" or 1.25"?
To follow up: took the car to the indie mechanic today. he shot some grease into the bushing (which, once i actually looked/paid attention, I realize is totally visible down there without pulling up...
Thanks to both of you for such detailed and useful replies.
I'm heartened by this, at least because you both suggest a number of places to inspect before even bothering with having the dealer do...
This is one I have searched for and seems to have not come up much at all. About three years ago (so, when the car was in the range of 5-6 years old), the steering wheel developed an odd groaning...
I've got two 2002 wagons, both of which are now up for fuel pump replacements on warranty (got both letters from Volvo this week). From what I've seen and heard, this is a pretty hefty job as quite a...
It's looking like my V70 is developing a problem with the front passenger window switch and relay. Turned the car on yesterday morning and there was a loud, fast clicking noise coming from the switch...
Joe MC -- Thanks much for posting the great photos. I'm about to do this same thing this next week (although it seems I may have to wait longer for the reservoir) - very helpful!

I posted yesterday about needing control arm bushing replacement and having an overly worn inner tie rod. My dealer said about $120 for the tie rod repair, and alignment is $90 I believe. So, that...
Thanks for the replies and info. Roads here are quite good (much better than Baltimore, where we last lived)....but perhaps we've had a few big hits here and there that led to this. The car was a CPO...
Like many, I'm a long-time lurker but infrequent poster here on the forums. I took my XC70 to the dealer for new tires (they were running a special, actually a pretty good deal!) on Tuesday and,...
Ron N -- Tried emailing you, but figured I would also reply here. Email me directly to reply. Glad to see another two Volvo family (we are V70 and V70XC)!

The net is now off the market - thanks for the replies!

Yes, that would make sense. Both of our cars are 60-40.
Anybody know cost on the retractable units?....
Just picked up the nylon cargo net for my XC70 at a really good price, thinking it would pop into the area just on top of the rear seats and retract when not in use. However, the net I got folds in...
Glenn and JBL -- Thanks for the information and advice. I'm glad to hear it sounds like at least some dealers are reasonable about the ETM issue. I was never worried that it would *ultimately* get...
We've got a 2002 XC70 with about 52k on it now. This afternoon the car started once and then stalled after about 3-4 seconds...and then wouldn't start again or would do so only for another 3-4...
