  2. Well, she's dead. Sell for scrap? Volvo dealer willing to give me $650 for her?

    Well my 3 year relationship with my 02 V70XC is over. Buyers remorse as I failed to do my homework and had problems with the tranny almost from day 1.

    Things wrong:

    transmission slips

    Update - just got off the phone with the dealer - needs new driveshaft, front pads/rotors, and obviously a timing belt.

    The dealership that has it (not the Volvo dealer) is offering it for $9200....
  4. Looking at MY04-T6 - tranny was replaced at 67K - thoughts?

    My 02 XC70 needs a new turbo, crankseal and has a bad tranny. While I'm a creature of habit and my heart tells me to fix her, my brain tells me it's a lost cause and time to move on. If I've learned...

    So you're saying that in three years of owning it and watching the temp go from 80 to 79 and instantly getting super ice cold air blowing HARD out of the vents and then watching the temp go from 79...

    Thanks Sjonnie - I assure you in the 3 summers of owning my car, I have hit every combination of ac options available while sweating my butt off driving down the road. My car ALWAYS blows ice cold...
  8. Magic Number is 79F for air conditioning to work! Huh?

    Let me preface this with, I have NOT checked the cabin air filter yet.

    Magic number is 79!

    Since the day I bought my car three years ago, the air conditioner has been wonky. It works perfectly...

    My apologies - it is most definitely oil as I have to top it off about once a week. I should have mentioned that.

    Do you think the oil dripping in the driveway is related to the oil sucked into...
  10. leaking on driveway and burning oil after getting on turbo

    My problems just don't seem to go away with this stupid blowing smoke, dripping oil issue! Grrrrr.

    Had the PCV replaced a couple months ago because I was blowing smoke. Fixed it for a bit but when...

    Oh I agree!

    Just that my mind goes to "worst case scenario" because I have tranny issues and a howling turbo. :-)

    DING DING DING!

    Oil supply line to turbo.

    The clamp was a red herring.

    No answer yet from my shop. I'll stop there on my way home.

    Perhaps the clamp is a red herring.... [mad2]

    It was definitely oil leaking out of my car. It was not power steering fluid nor was it...

  16. Transmission questions - It's been bad for almost two years but still gets me around

    Thoughts on the progression of a totally fubar’d transmission. Yes, I’m asking you to be a psychic and tell me the exact day it’s going to die. Lol

  19. PCV replaced last week - now I have a horrible turbo whine

    I've gone to my mechanic for 12 years. They treat me like their daughter. While this is my first Volvo (02 XC70), I've had almost 15 years of Saabs. They've fixed them all for me.

    How do I lock the drivers door? Your set of instructions isn't working for me. As long as the key is still in the ignition, the key fob and the key in the door from the outside won't lock it.

    Stupid question - is "key turns to Position 1" and "key won't turn at all" two separate issues or is it the same part failing, just at different places? I have read all the "turns and stops at...
