JRL, I agree, I jumped at this internet dealer coupon because of the price. I asked this well known Seattle dealership if it included all 3 parts when I called and made the appointment. I confirmed...
I just had my timing belt, tensioner and idler pulley replaced on my 02 v70xc at the dealership with their special online coupon for $299.95 + tax. Drove home with no issues. I now have a shiny...
I've had an intermittent left turn signal problems for the past 2 weeks too. After pushing down on the stalk I won't get any blinker activity, but I just need to jiggle the stalk and it will begin...
I had my husband take out the line and wipe the inside of the outlet in case any debris was causing the seepage. It appears to not be leaking anymore, but my husband didn't wipe the bottom of the...
Hi everyone,
We did the transmission flush last weekend, but now I'm getting a leak/seepage from the transmission cooler line outlet.
We didn't initially replace the 2 o-rings or the green clip,...
I have a wonderfully nice commute that allows me to get 24.2-25 mpg consistently on my 2002 xc with 75k miles on it. However, if I were to run an errand for 2-3 stops, my mpg would go down by .6 mpg...
I just installed a new battery in my 2002 xc and did quite a bit of searching about it prior to tackling the job.
Try locking and unlocking your door with your remote control or with the actual...
Art,
Thank you so much! I'm sure this will come in handy in many situations, not just auto related.
I wish everyone a great Holiday Season.
I took my car in for an oil change today and I mentioned the R-D transmission delay/clunk again . They made another apointment for me after the holidays, so that they can keep the car overnight and...
Thanks Moe.
I had my transmission fluid flushed at the dealer at 38k miles, now I have 68k on the car. I was planning on doing another flush in the early Spring, but may have to do it sooner...
I've had the R-D delay in the 2002 for the past year now. It is definately worse in the winter and seems to be very sporadic during the warmer months.
Last night, I backed into my garage and...
Hello PDXXC,
I also have a 2002 XC since new, currently with just under 67,000 miles.
At about 45k, I started experiencing the R-D clunk. I had the dealer check it out and they installed the...
Seattle Eastsiders,
What Independent Volvo Shops would you recommend. I've had all service done at Ravenna to date and I've been very happy with them. But now that warranty is up, perhaps I'll...
I had my driver window open the other day and when I started the engine, I heard a consistent ticking (2 per second) coming thru the window. I could not hear it inside the car. I left the car...
Hello Techno,
Did your dealer discover what the cause of your electrical failure was? I have an '02 with 49,500 miles on it. My last warrantied dealer visit will be next week.
I've decided...
I live in the Seattle area, and just yesterday I put on the Goodyear Assurance TripleTred. They are quieter than the ST's, but overall I was pleased with how the ST's performed. I put on nearly...
I'll be making this same decision in about a year. I have a MY 2002, I've had zero mechanical issue with her, so far.
Since I own the car outright, I'll probably have to pay about...
I've noticed this a few times. I will approach the car and push the unlock button twice to unlock all doors and liftgate. I hear the click of the unlocking, and the doors are unlocked by...
My 12 yo daughter, who sits in the back passenger seat often complains of the seat belt locking on her sporadically. I've always assumed it's part of the safety feature, and her moving in the...
Wiz,
My sound happens even when the car is warm. If I stop at a grocery store for 15 minutes, it'll make that sound when I restart the car and drive 12 mph out of the parking lot.
Pico,
I think I may have the same sound as you. Every time I newly start the car and reach approximately 12 mph, I hear an "ehhh" sound coming somewhere below the steering wheel....
I leave mine on auto around 72 degrees. I also leave the air conditioning button to "off" and the air circulation to "auto".
Being in Seattle, I rarely have to use a/c except in Aug/Sept.,...
Edit: Sun, May 11.
Sold the car this weekend to a local buyer.
Well, I rotated the tires front to back this weekend. Boy did it feel good to clean them! Sprayed them generously with simple green and wiped and sprayed and wiped and sprayed til it was shiny...
I'm planning on taking my 02 for its 7500 mile oil change/service reminder reset next week. After reviewing the maintenance manual, I can do all checks of other fluids normally done at the 7500...
