Greetings:
We are the new owners of a 2002 V70 XC. We picked up the car at a regional auction to be used by our college age kids for running around town. The car has 125K miles and is in very good condition.. This is our first Volvo. It took me a while to find the battery :)
The only defect I have found so far is that the hood latch cable is broken at the activator inside the drivers compartment. This will probably be a PITA to repair. A decent source for parts outside of a local dealer would be helpful. I also plan to change out the tranny oil and steering oil. I have read that Mobil ATF 3309 will suffice if I can find it locally.
The car also does not have a users manual or a backup key. I assume the keys are chipped so a spare should cost me a few bucks. Any help in accumulating these odds and end would be greatly appreciated.
