We have about 106,000 miles on the transmission. Fluid was last changed 4.5 years ago at about 70,000 after the big bolt on top was removed to fill (not by us) and a local transmission shop had to...

We switched from the iPD directions to doing the drain and refill using the upper transmission cooler line at the top back of the radiator. That line was simple and easy to remove. We had prepared...

We ordered a case of 3309 and have two replacement sets of green clips and o-rings at the ready.

Our current problem is that we have not been able to uncouple the lower transmission cooling line...

We are planning to do a drain and fill of our transmission fluid today. Is there anyone close to Kingston, NY that might be able to help with resetting the Transmission Fluid Counter. We would also...

After reading many very positive reviews, we just bought a set of Yokohama Geolander A/T-S that are intended as On-/Off-Road All-Terrain tires. The traction is fantastic on loose dirt and gravel...

We have an update to our situation. After driving the car for a day of normal use the "Transmission Service Required" message has not reappeared, but the "Check Engine" light is still on. We...

I would buy a used D5 from Canada right now if it could be legally imported.

A couple of days ago we had a moderate snow storm here and while driving home our 2002 V70XC started behaving very strangely on the road. It felt like the rear end was going to slip out to the side...

Thanks for all the responses and advice. Emptying and refilling the reservoir seemed like a waste of time. How much tmie should we expect to pay for to have the brakes bled correctly? 1/2 hour to...

The seat can't be pulled forward enough to release it and the cable release does not work. Just pulling at it hard seems like it might break the catch underneath that locks it down. Has anyone used...

One of our two second row integrated booster seats is stuck in the lower closed position. The cable will not release the seat to allow it to open and be locked in the upper position for use.

Does...

It's time for our 75,000 mile service which includes replacing the brake fluid. Our local mechanic suggests emptying and refilling the reservoir without bleeding the lines. He says that most Volvo...

Earlier today someone tried to break into our 2002 XC while it was parked in Manhattan (NYC) around the corner from Gracie Mansion (the Mayor's official residence). They smashed the window on the...

We had the wheels rebalanced this morning and the sound has not gone away. The mechanic took a ride with me and said that it is a wheel bearing. There is more noise when turning to the right so we...

Prior to having the new set of Nokians installed, there were clip-on weights on the outside of each of the four wheels. There are no longer weights on the inside or outside of any of the wheels. ...

We bought a set of Nokian WR G2 SUV tires in the stock size 215/65R16 for our 2002 V70XC about a week ago. We now have a very loud noise (like snow tires rumbling) at around 40 MPH and again at...

Our car was back to us in just three days, which was about a quarter of the time we had expected. The transmission shifts just fine and we have been informed that we need one new motor mount. They...

We put a set of Nokian WRG2s on our 2009 VW Jetta TDI (also from STS) to replace the worn out stock Contis (shot at ~25,000 miles). They have about 5,000 miles on them so far and they are among the...

I'm pleased to report that our mechanic called us first thing this morning, took complete responsibility for the mistake and had already arranged for a well-regarded local transmission shop to make...

We took our 2002 V70XC to our favorite local mechanic and reported slight jumpiness with shifting. After a test drive they agreed that a drain and fill to freshen the transmission fluid was most...

Does anyone know a good source for the bracket immediately behind the center resonator. Our is pretty rusty. Thanks.

Once they presented themselves as ready to overcharge, I decided not to give them any business. The sad answer is that the shop is in Rhinebeck and they saw a Volvo. I was not kidding with the...

We would like to replace the decaying center resonator in our 2002 XC with a section of straight pipe (the JRL mod). Our local muffler shop quoted two hours at $98 per hour or about $212 with tax. ...

We recently installed a third row seat in our 2002 V70XC. The parts from the dismantler included the lock cylinder for the hatch from the donor car. Can the cylinder be repinned by a locksmith to...

We experienced a very similar problem with our 2002 V70XC. One of the front calipers had developed a sticking problem and was causing severe vibration during braking. The caliper and both front...
