Try it. If all else fails go to the dealer and tell them it stopped working but don't tell them you replaced it. Stupidist things they say sometimes. I am thankful my dealer doesn't care about stuff...

Are you saying its always running? The heated seat pad plugs into a box under the seat. My box had melted at the connection point. I replaced that box....which is a thermostat I believe and the...

You don't say what year your car is but most XC70's have an extended 10 year 200,000 km warranty on the throttle body. As Volvo.

I got the EVAP code for a couple of years. Dealer initially told me it was the EVAP solenoid or hose. $150 to $400 for repair.

For other reasons I had the engine software update. About $100. The...

You will need to search around a bit. I seem to recall reading something that said there are two things in the area of that module and one is for the transmission. Or at least they share a connector.

Interesting. I will have to look at my book. I have paid for a number of software updates and have been charged.

Those are all good questions. I don't know the answer. I think you should find out if the other stereo ever came with the V70, If the answer is yes there shouldn't be a problem. If the answer is no...

A lot of people don't realize it but Volvo has cut the price on the hub by more them 60%. I bought a new rear hub last year from the dealer for $240. Aftermarket was still $650.

Jim

Valve timing and actuator codes could be because the timing belt was installed with the cams off a tooth. Mine was on an S80, code was "left bank over advanced". I had the belt reset. Expensive...

I agree. Go somewhere and have the codes pulled. No way to know without that.

Jim

Open the rear hatch. Look left....see the door?....open in....bunch of relays there.

Look for signs of water.

Jim

I agree with the above. Its the most likey cause, Try the battery and connections first. Then go to the relay's. You maybe getting water on the ones in the rear left..at the back of the car.

I...

According to this older thread its the ABS module

Unusual for it to go in a 2005. Check the connectors for corrosion. A...

Nice!! I am sure those pictures will help someone else. Wasn't so bad fo a job?

I should have mentioned if bumps or vibration cause a rattle in the window its usually the regulator rivits coming...

I have. Easy fix.

Make sure the car is in the off position for at least a couple of minutes.

1) You need the track connectors. They are square with a hole in the middle and a clip. The glass...

I did manage to change mine. It was the one in the passenger seat. I still had to go to the dealer to reset the SRS airbag light. I also originally had to go to the dealer so they could tell me which...

He had it opened. They went through the passenger door with a jimmy. Only othe way to do it is by tapping a bunch of wedges between the door frame and the car and creating an opening wide enough to...

I just had a key cut. I called into the dealer and they did it for me but they knew me. Don't know if they will do it for you over the phone. $80 just for the key. When it was ready I took the car to...

I have answered my own question.

On the 2003 XC70 there is a sensor in each mirror. I believe the driver side communicates with the ECM and the passenger side communicates with the gauge in the...

You need to get the basic maintenance stuff out of the way. Throttle body should be cleaned. Yes it could be the MAF sensor. I don't think either of these things will throw the code you are getting....

I f you had the belt replaced they could have put it in a tooth off. They did that to my father inlaws car. I was getting your code plus "left bank over advanced". The repositioned the cams put the...

Just read over your posts. Are you still getting that code....timing over advanced? If so there is a part under the top cover near the timing belt that contorls the timing. I forgot what its called....

Mine just went. Its minus 5 out but the readout under the speedo shows plus 33 degrees celcius. I ordered a new one. I though there was only one on a 03 XC70 and it was in the driver side mirror.
...

I got the SRS Failure Sevice Urgent reading in the info readout this week.

I went to the dealer and they say its the passenger seat airbag. They say these things go sometimes. Cost $795 installed....

Let someone else that knows better answer this. but my manual says Belt replacement at 160,000 or 180,000 km.
