Yep. Sure do.
Yep. Sure does.
Well, my run as an '01 XC70 owner has come to an end.
I've got a few items for sale, leftover from undone maintenance:
Oil Filter + Gasket + 2 Crush Rings - P/N 1275810
Cabin Air Filter - P/N...
Hey all,
My wife's 01 XC is pulling a p0442 and I've read a few posts suggesting cleaning the MAF as possible solution.
I've been able to find the MAF without any issue, but....
I'm not quite...
I thought that there was more that I needed to do, but I guess I was more on top of things than I thought I was :) I thought that the Timing Belt was due at the 90K as well, but I now see that it...
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.
So, for the first time in a long time, I'm...
Only on a Volvo would there be 5 pages worth of posts about a Position Bulb :)
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...
When I last took my car in for maintenance, my tech told me only to do the level check with the finger. Made no mention of draining out any additional fluid.
I practiced with the car off and wore a long sleeve TShirt that was tucked into my mechanics gloves.
Took me a while, but I finally got a feel as to how it needed to be done....could pretty much...
I'm in it.
The quick story:
- Front Pad/Rotors needed changing & rear pads needed changing
- Changed the front Pad/Rotors on Friday night and pedal felt soft afterward compared to before the...
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?
NGK at 60K miles and haven't had any issues (currently at 75K)
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...
Got the call from the dealer that the car was done today.
They mounted my tires, fixed a couple of the other small things I needed fixed.
However, they said that the Angle/Bevel gear is fine and...
So is this the general concensus? That Mobil1 75W90 Fully synthetic Gear Oil is suitable for the Bevel/Angle Gear?
So, just got a call from my dealership after bringing my 01XC in for some maintenance and to get my Nokian WR's mounted.
I had a leak in an area where they previously fixed my Turbo Return Line,...
Given my current reading on the subject, I think I'm going to make the investment in $$$ for the part & tools and time to do the servo replacement.
However, how much fluid can I expect to lose in...
If only I wasn't such the worrier. Just ask my wife :)
I've been reading up on this a bit, and will probably give it a go. From the little bit of research I've done (15 mins or so), it appears to be a relatively cheap part ($15?) and the time to do it...
I'm finding living with my 01XC is an experience pending doom.
With all that I have read on these boards on Tranny failures, I wait for mine to happen (have 70K on it currently), but all I get is...
The hardest part of replacing them is putting the cover back on it when done.
It is a half-circle shaped piece of plastic that screws into the main housing. I write a line across the cover and...
Just picked up the 215/65s from Tirefactory.net
$534 for 4, no shipping and no tax.
I still will go with removing the green clip :)
So with the variability in the reading, what is the liklihood that the flush at the dealer will get it accurate? I'm thinking that I/we are...
