I just had passenger side axle #4 installed last week by my corner garage. When I picked it up, the tech said he was surprised that when he took out the old one, the end of it was bone dry, with...
There is a mechanical interlock within the shift handle - the button on the front of it pulls up a vertical rod and lets you move it out of park. Mine felt strange for about a year before it...
I've had that twice - miss and stumbling at heavy throttle - especially on very hot days (upper 80's counts as very hot here) - at 81k mile and again at 177k miles - no CEL either time - both times a...
Ended up being a single bad coil. Biggest lesson learned is that the misfire codes (0300, p301, 0302, 0303, 0304, 0305) are not accurate - I moved the coils around, cleared the codes and still got...
Found the vacuum leak - obvious once I got in there with a flashlight - replaced the hose and got rid for the 'lean mixture' code - still getting the misfire codes.
2004 XC70 - 242,000 miles
For the past few weeks I've been getting an occasional stumble when pulling hills in hot weather - i suspected plugs.
2 days ago I was under the hood and heard a loud...
Maybe they are on some other forum - like SweedSpeed
Willy - I am thinking of following your path from my 04 XC70 to a new XC90.
I think I saw that the air suspension lets you change the riding height of the car, like one can do with the Audi...
I considered commenting on those....not your typical Volvo accessory.
i'm not sure what the advantage is of this set up - seems more complex than the combined parking brake & calipers i've seen on Hondas.
Agree - iron or steel - but when I've seen those rear bearings (and I've bought 2 from FCP in the past 18 months) whatever was in there for the sensor to pick up on was hidden from view behind some...
Here is the 'before' trace - after they cleaned up the hub all 4 were the same.
Well - Delores went to my neighborhood garage today - they found the same 'staticy' trace on the leff rear ABS sensor (which was just replaced last week) - but they found the surface of the wheel...
good thought - I had that issue a few years ago and replaced both axles as the rings were not available at that time - they checked and said they were oK - the rear uses a different system where the...
I've searched the forums for ABS but don't get many hits, so I'll put this out there in case someone has some insight -
2 years ago I failed the left rear wheel bearing, and it quickly took out...
My heater core clogged up after about 9 years - I ordered the Behr part from FCP and replaced it myself - problem solved. Not very difficult.
I convinced myself it was the core by feeling the...
Had an intermittent crank problem on my MY04 over the weekend - I pulled off the white spade clip at the solenoid and cleaned up both sides with sandpaper, and it seems to be OK now. I removed the...
I put on new Empi's from FCP and the inner right boot started to throw grease immediately - within a year it was shaking - in a pinch, I put on whatever Advance had on the shelf and it has been fine....
I've used a lot of Meyle suspension parts and have been generally happy, although I just replaced a Meyle ball joint after only 28,000 miles. But that was the exception.
In some cases (heater...
I used to have a Pontiac that did this - it never really struck me as a problem worth fixing.
it looks to me like the V90CC is going to be the replacement for the XC70 - An actual wagon (V90) with increasesed ride height and a bit of additional cladding
I also went with the Behr from FCP but the holes in the motor frame for the two mounting screws were not threaded - I don't have metric taps, and I considered forcing it but didn't want to get any...
What does this mean? Planning to replace at least the controller this weekend, and maybe the blower too - have both parts from FCP - will decide once I get in there.
I know there have been many many threads on this topic here and on other forums. I know because I've read them all repeatedly and printed a few. I see people using bread clips, mechanics wire, ...
Ride is a tough thing to judge - it's so subjective. When we got our XC the ride struck me as overly firm, but my daily drive was an Olds Regency which drove like a velour-lined cloud. Now I'm...
