Sold!

I’m selling my 2004 Volvo XC70 2.5T AWD. The car is in great condition, and is up to date with all maintenance, which the previous owner and I had done religiously at Volvo dealerships and...

I’ve had a full set (front and rear) of Bosch Quietcast rotors and pads on the car for about a year now, and they seem to perform well. No pulsing, and the pads don’t produce a ton of brake dust.

Just want to echo vtl’s comments above; I use the same exact setup between summer and winter, and I have zero complaints. The TrueContacts are wearing well, are quiet and do well in dry and wet. And...

Hi Googabee, welcome! Glad to hear you're making good progress bringing your XC back to good health. I see you're in S. Vermont and were looking at Volvo indies in WMass. I'm in WMass...

Bill, you definitely won’t be disappointed by these tires when it comes to wet weather traction. They’re very confidence inspiring. And, as BGO indicated, they’re very quiet indeed. I’d happily...

I just put on a new set of the TrueContacts last fall (only to switch them out after a month or so for snow tires, but hey), replacing a set of Yokohama Avid Ascends. I put the Continentals back on...

It looks like the holder is mounted on a Brodit ProClip. The ProClip is a vehicle specific mounting base, on which you can mount several phone-specific chargers/holders. More information here:...

I second the reference of Swedish Motors above. I've also had a good experience with Swanson Auto Service on Brookline Ave. in Brookline.

You’re welcome, and I feel your pain…every time I’m there I keep thinking I should have brought a flask! :P

It looks like you might be able to use the side lock adapter: http://www.michelinwipers.com/installation-tips/stealth-ultra/side-lock.shtml

It had been 5,000 miles again already, so I took the XC in for service today. It didn’t need much besides a helping of fresh 5w30, but I also had them do a transmission flush (using the Gibbons...

I just put on a set of Continental TrueContacts about a month ago, and promptly went on a 2,500 mile road trip with them, encountering all sorts of conditions (dry, cold, but also lots of heavy,...

My XC is a 2004, but since that has the same engine as a 2007, I don’t think that should make much of a difference.

Having DSTC shouldn’t matter either, that’s just Volvo’s acronym for ESP...

I just took a 900 mile road trip from Massachusetts to Indiana in the XC, and I got 27.4 MPG on the first tank, and 27.7 MPG on the second one, with the display indicating 27.9 and 28.2,...

I believe this is the car in question: http://ahmotors.v12soft.com/inventory/view/7794489?2007-Volvo-XC70-AWD-One-Owner-Third-Row-Seat-65K-Miles-Only-Look-Concord-CA

I would go over to TireRack and take a look at what they have available in your size, and then read/watch some reviews about the tires they tested. Their tire tests are great, with easy to read...

I encountered the same issue when I replaced my front springs: car sitting higher after replacement, and new springs came with isolators which the old ones didn’t have. I used the same springs as...

Over the past year, that’s what I’ve averaged: between 21 and 22 MPG, with a significant dip this winter due to the terrible weather and short...

My left front spring just broke last night after 112,000 miles spent in Western MA. I heard something clunking and then something falling off right as I pulled up to my house. I couldn’t see anything...

I bought my ’04 XC70 this past July with a 105k on it and all maintenance taken care of. Aside from one small parking dent and a few little stone chips on the hood, it’s as good as new, I really like...

The topic starter states that he knows of someone who has parts of an ’01 XC for sale, parts (cat and O2 sensor) which he could use for his own, current XC, so as to get rid of the CEL in order to be...

The 2007 and up V/XC70 do indeed have LEDs in the lower sections of the taillight units. Contrary to what you’d expect, those LEDs sometimes do fail.

However, contrary to what is implied above,...
