    So I just hit 100K on my wife's 01 XC70 and work & life has pretty well taken away my ability to do all the maintenance I should be doing at this point.

    Same thing happened to me...

    And just to reinforce the thread - a new Thermostat fixed it for me. Very easy fix as long as you have the right size Torx bit (40, I beleive).

    It's also a good opportunity (or reason) to drain...

    I voted on a complete flush/fill at 50K/60K, but will probably do a partial drain & Fill between my next major flush (which is still 50K miles away).

    I figure that putting 3 fresh liters in after...

    Did mine using Gibbons around 2 weeks ago.

    Feels like a new car. Shifting is smooth, no more flare between 2 & 3.

    What a great tip. And, I saved, what, $250 in labor from the stealership?

    I got the extended on my 01 XC when I bought it back in Feb of 04.

    I paid $995 at the time to extend it to 7 years / 100K miles and it has more than paid for itself already.

    And, I've still got...
