My MY07 I just picked up has a malfunctioning driver seat memory.
Position 3 still maintains the memory positions of the previous owner, however I am unable to reset #3 or set #1 or #2 at all. I'm...

Red XC, Thanks for posting the photos of the headlight adjusting knobs. You mentioned that one was for X-axis and the other for Y-axis. Well, when I turn the bigger knob (for Y-axis), the other...

Has anyone replaced the Engine Coolant Sensor (ECT) themselves? It's such an inexpensive part I'd rather do it myself than pay the outrageous labor to do it.
If you have, can you explain how you did...

Has anyone replaced their leather steering wheel wrap? If so, does Volvo make an OEM replacement wrap? (and do you have the part number)

I have vague recollections that Volvo did sell an OEM kit...

Lomotpk, just to give you a guage, I bought my 01 in Boston, in November 2003. It has 70K on it and it was spotless and had absolutely no work done on it except having the roofrails replaced. I paid...

116,000 miles on my 01 and still no problems with the VC whatsoever.

My build date was later though, 12/00

Yeah, the VC get's too bad of a wrap. Good to hear all the positive feedback.

Howdy blue,

I've had my used 01 for just over 2 years. Decided against the warranty. I've totaled about 400 dollars in shop expenses to repair a slight rattle in the sunroof a belt problem. So...

Well, it turns out that it was indeed a belt problem. The belt had slipped off out of alignment which is why there was no power steering or AC and even some weird light problems. But why I didn't...

Thanks for the quick replies guys. I should have time to go get it checked out tomorrow or wednesday. Until then, if any one else had any more clues, please feel free to elaborate.

I'm hoping...

After searching thoroughly through the forum, I've failed to find anything regarding my most recent problem, suffered tonight.

While driving through the streets of Cambridge, my power steering...

My build date was nice and late, luckily - 12/00. As most people will attest in this forum, and IMO life, if the car hasn't had many troubles before, it usually won't have many troubles in the...

Welcome to the forum chik.

Just to make you feel even better about your purchase, I'm in the same category as ART - 110,000 miles on my MY01 and no problems so far. Knock on wood. Spoiled...

I don't mean to beat a dead horse...But I have the dreaded Emission System Service Required light (as well as the Check Engine light)on as well. The light just appeared when I turned the car on...

I have a driver side mirror motor, with memory, with a cracked housing for an 01 XC. The color is black. The motor works fine. There is no mirror. The housing is cracked but only a small 2cm x...

Thanks Bob. Good point on the glass. I did not know that. That's odd. You buy the mirror but dont' get the glass. Hell, all I NEED is the glass and a housing (as the motor and the mount is still...

I just got a quote from Borton on a replacement mirror for my driver's side. The lovely NH DOT plow truck took it out and also put a nice dent in my door. Lovely lovely.

Anyway here's the quote...

ARt, you rock. Sorry for the delayed thanks. Just moved into a new pad and finally got the internet up and running. Off to the Green Mountains for a long weekend of skiing so I think I'll take a...

Willy, do you by any chance have a illustration of how to take off the front side vents. Specifically, the one on the passenger side. I have a nasty fan squeek over there and I'm hoping that if I...

littlewaywelt has it right. Build date and service record are absolutely the most important things to consider before anything else.

Just to give you further price insight. I bought my '01 1.25...

What does this whine actually sound like? and from where in the car does it sound like it is coming?
The reason I ask is, we had a slushy snow here today in Boston, and this morning a high pitched...

Bob, where are you located. $219 is what I'm talkin' about!

I'd still be interested in seeing that PDF file of the installation. Can you post it or send it to me?

Thanks

I have the new Thule rack. The way I avoid scratching the paint is to use little clear adhesive (they are safe) stickers, like you would find to protect your palm pilot, underneath the footpads. ...

Ahhh, I finally got that taillight assembly apart over the weekend. Actually, it's not that bad, but you have to be a frickin' contortionist to reach one or two of those nuts. 10mm is all you need...

i buy all my replacement bulbs at the local auto chain store or at a napa store or any auto store at all, really. all the bulbs Vovlo uses are very standard. Heck, i don't think i've ever paid more...
