Hi all:
This was originally posted at Swedespeed, and someone there directed me here.
Just picked up '05 XC70 with 35k for my wife and young daughter. If anyone could help with any or all of the following, I would really appreciate it! I have about 45 days of warranty coverage left, so I'm trying to sort out any potential issues quickly.
GLOVEBOX RATTLE AT IDLE: I was able to find some great hints here. Sounds like a common problem -- I'll have dealer look at, and resort to some felt pads or the like if it reappears after warranty expires. If anyone has anything to add...
ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN for a minute after I shut the car down. I'm assuming that it's just the fan and that this is a stupid question. I've never had a car that's done this before -- a Volvo thing?
AFTERMARKET STEEL CARGO ORGANIZER? This looks like a great way to keep gear from ending up front and keeping baby girl safe (not to mention Fido out of the cabin). Dealer quoted me $350. Ouch. Anyone know of an aftermarket alternative that will fit the holes on the cargo area and filp up like the OEM model. Anyone have this installed? Thoughts?
CARSEAT installation. Admittedly not a sexy question... Want to install my forward facing toddler seat in the center but use LATCH system (Dads, you know what I mean). It seems that the car is set to use LATCH just on the drivers or passengers side. If I borrow one latch hook from either side, now I've invaded enough into the space beside it that passengers seatbelts overlap. Am I missing something here? Or am I just stuck keeping my seat out of the middle section of the bench.
OTHER KNOWN WARRANTY issues I should have looked at before it expires. This car is known for solid reliability, which is why I bought it, but I'd rather catch stuff while it's still on Volvo's dime.
Thanks!
-Jake
