I hear a noise when my XC70 is idling that sounds like a diesel running. An independent volvo shop diagnosed it as coming from a part that drives the alternator. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I have an '08 XC70 gas and I did not receive the notice.
From what I have read on the internet, it is a rip-off and does require continued maintenance with their products, am I wrong? The cost is $595. Is this something that can peel off or is it just...
I just purchased a 2008 XC70 to replace my totaled one. The dealer among many things was pushing this coating on paint and leather that would eliminate the need to wax and protect the leather. In...
I asked the dealer and they said they couldn't do it, the wiring is not there, are they pulling my leg? If they can't do it, where would I go to get it done?
I am considering buying a 2008 with 14K miles, it has pretty much everything I want on it except the cargo 12V. Can this be added afterwards?

I have only seen one 2007 for sale in my area, so calif, it is black which is my least favorite color, with 33K miles on it, there seem to be several 2008s out there with low miles which makes me...
Hi all,
Hoping to get some advice. My 2003 was totaled after being rear ended two weeks ago. I want to buy a a used replacement and would like to get some advice on which year to go for. Stick...
I have also gotten this message lately, I am in S Calif so have not really needed it, the message came on when I was making a sharp turn. I have 145K miles on my 2003 XC70, I wondered if this is...
We tow our Chalet Aframe popup trailer, 18ft. We drive about 63MPH on the open highway. The 2003 XC handles beautifully. Our only concern is that the tail end is bottoming a bit. We do not have the...
Thanks for the suggestions. The remote has been behaving nicely since then??? When you were referring to the battery, which battery did you mean?
Thanks, Kersti
This problem started yesterday. I went to get into my '03 XC and could not unlock the car, I tried both remotes and key in the lock. The key turning in the lock produced some click sounds but the...
I have also been very pleased with my 2003 XC70 that I got on the Overseas Purchase about the same time as you did. Obviously you drive the car as much as I do. I am now about 600 miles from 100K...
My 2003 has just past 80K miles. Still running beautifully. Had the typical nits, engine mount, rattle in console, fuel door, hose clamp. Wear: brakes and tires.
No matter what CR says, I had more...
Never mind. I saw the link when I was in the process of sending. Sounds like it does not affect the 2003 models.
What is the ETM?
Add my '03 XC to the list of engine mount failures. Just took my car in for the 60k service (66K miles) and they reported that I had a broken engine mount. Since I bought the extended warrenty it is...
Thanks, I will do that.
Thanks for the info.
I just called for my appointment and they quoted me $695. Does that sound about right??

I am due to bring my car in for the 60K mile service, (now have 65K on the car). What should I expect to pay for this service and what do they do?
Don't have any answers to the questions but my latch broke also, definitely a weak part.
I have no idea if they rotate my tires or not when I bring my car in for the regular service, I assumed...
How come this is only for canadians?
Definitely an XC70 problem. Yesterday in the underground parking of the Music Center in Los Angeles we heard a squealing car making turns and my friend said that cars sounds just like your car in...
Well I have 52K miles now on my 2003 now and I love this car. The only repairs have been the power steering clamp, a rattle in the middle console area and a squeal on left turns, and the Vadis fix...
I have same message, started 2/26 right after I went to the car wash. I also checked all lights and could see no problem. I plan to wait until the next service.
