I hate to say it out loud, but I think it's time I let go of my beloved 2004 Volvo XC70
I Bought him used in March of 2008 with ~65,000 and been very vigilant about his maintenance and upkeep,...
I used to live in Ewing, I found Art and had him do some work to my XC70 when I was up there. He's got a simple little shop near the Farmer's Market off Spruce St.
He was definitely knowledgeable...
Well, the check came in and some unexpected expenses took it out... I finally said enough and put the repair on the plastic last weekend. I pulled the BCM Sunday and shipped it to Xemodex on Monday....
Thank you for your reply. I will start the search for a volvo independent in my area. In the interim, my mechanic's non-VIDA reader seemed to pick up the codes (it was the size of a tablet). Any...
OK, half day today so I decided I was going to focus on this. I just re-read your post and look at Xemodex's site. the 2005 and up has some differences. It looks like mine should be BCM specific if I...
Hmmm, interesting... I just got the check I've been waiting for to send things off to Xemodex... How did you determine that you didn't have power to fuse 15 of the CEM?
What year is your car? When I get errors in VIDA my BCM was actually red (see pictures in my first post). Have you cleared the errors and run the updated diagnostics to redownload the latest...
The only error I'm seeing in VIDA now is a failure to communicate with the BCM. I used Xemodex's BCM troubleshooting diagram to rule out everything else, so I'm going to send out the BCM....
I bought one of these about 2 years ago and between this unit and the VM that was posted on here with DICE already installed it's working great! do a search for DICE and you should be able to find...
I didn't want to leave this post hanging, so here's the rest of the troubleshooting and latest update.
The power supply relays didn't make a difference, but for $30 it was worth trying. It also...
Thanx Xheart, my search mojo was off the other day and somehow I missed this. The trick was to remove the strut bar and to clean off the sides of the assembly; mine was covered with road dirt and the...
As part of my repair/troubleshooting the brake system I kept getting a message in VIDA about the brake pedal position sensor, so I purchased a new one. I looked at the instructions in the resources,...
OK, so another little bit of driving around while running to the store on Sunday morning and everything looked good. I parked the car in the driveway and cut the grass and a few other things around...
A quick word of advice I've found over the years with my 04 XC70 (over 220k now, purchased at 60). Stick with Volvo parts as much as you can, and when the part has multiple suppliers (lemforder,...
OK, so I finally got my rear rotors and brake pads from IPD's summer sale back in June. (It took forever, but they finally shipped with Brembo rotors instead of the Bosch it was supposed to have......
I'm in Cherry Hill NJ... if you want to take a ride let me know... I've thought about doing this myself...

I have been getting the Brake failure warning for the past year, but anytime it happened it went away after a restart or a few minutes of driving. I didn't have my Dice unit hooked up and since it...
I got tired of redoing the bread clips and bought a remanufactured compressor from erie. local shop charged me $200 to install it... Inevitably the bread clips would break off during the hottest...
OK, I guess I answered my own question... The end links only fit one way, so 18mm on top it is!
I'm replacing the end links on my 2004 XC70. When I originally did this a few years ago I put the 18 mm nut on the top (at the shock) and the 14 mm at the bottom, I can't remember why I did that and...
I had some trouble finding mine in the owners manual. Here's what I found on the XC70 manual Page 99. Looks like yours may be a little different from mine, but similar. It depends on what position...
If they are LEDs they probably aren't fog lights. They're the daytime running lights. Do you have the xenon headlights?
I have a 2013 C30 and was trying to figure out the same thing, and then...
OK, update... I brought it back to the shop that installed the compressor this morning. It was over-filled, since they filled in in the shop and it was cooler in there. They removed some of the...
yes it was a used/refurbished compressor from Erie... Do you really think it's the compressor, not the refrigerant?
