    Raid

    Believe it or not, bug spray like Raid is a very good solvent for removing sticky stuff.

    Seat Memory Resetting itself?

    My newly acquired CPO 2004 XC70 has developed a curious habit of setting itself to either the 1st or 2nd memory settings without any prompting. It doesn't happen while driving. In fact, it happens...

    2004 Brilliant Silver XC70 with graphite leather - Another one!

    Yes, another one. Seems to be a classic color combo, but silver is the most popular car color in the US. Although my wife and I have only had our '04 XC70 for a couple weeks, we love it. It's...
  6. Titanium?

    Congrats on the new wheels. So what's a Titanium Edition? Is that only in Canada?

    Thanks for the replies. Yes, I'm aware of the Winter mode. My issue was not a second gear startup, but more like a 3rd gear startup. The car would literally shake from a standing start. Not sure what...
  8. 2000 V70XC SE: 3 years and 55K miles later...

    I joined this forum when we acquired the vehicle back in 2005 with 55K on it. We put 55K hard miles on it in just 3 years.

    In short, I wouldn't buy this vehicle again. I would—and just did—buy a...

    Dampness inside lights

    I detected some moisture inside the turn signals in the fenders and in one headlight on my 2004 XC70. Not an alarming amount, but it still raised a flag. Car has no previous collision work. Anyone...

    I've since sold the car, but what I used to do to solve the hard starting was to remove the key from the ignition, wait a couple seconds, then try again. It's as if the system had to re-boot or...

  12. Just upgraded from 2000 V70XC to 2004 XC70

    First, let me say that I spent a couple years away from this forum and am glad to be back.

  14. Do you have to let the turbocharger cool down?

    I've never seen any mention of letting the car idle after a long run to assist the turbocharger to cool down, but I know this is a common practice with some other turbo cars, and even planes. Can...

    Hard starting

    Hello,

    I've had my 2000 V70XC SE for about 3 months now and have logged in about 3K. Very comfortable, reasonable fuel consumption for a heavy AWD car, and reasonable all-around drivability.

    Changing fog lamp bulb

    I'm hoping someone can tell me how to access the bulb in the chin spoiler of my 2000 V70XC. The owner's manual says something about spinning the lens counterclockwise, but I have no idea what they're...

    Tire of choice for 2000 V70XC SE?

    My current set of tires will need replacing in the next year, so I thought it was worth asking what people recommend. I've seen the recommendations in this forum for the 15" standard XC wheel, but...

    Newbie: Glad to be here

    My wife and I just purchased a 2000 V70XC SE. (I still have not gotten accustomed to that name. What a mouthful.)
