Looks like the dealer that took in my old XC70 decided I kept it clean enough to put it on their used lot.

If anyone is looking for a clean one, I can tell you exactly what it needs done.

Here's my old one but you'll have to get it shipped. I can tell you exactly what it needs done as well....

You could call it that. I literally sold it to the salesman.

I'm not sure where you're located but if you call Autonation Volvo South Bay in Torrance, CA, they have my 2007 XC70. On paper they offered me $5500 but wound up giving me $6500 on trade. That's so...

$7,950 for the next 12 hours. Buyer pays shipping. If you want it, let me know! It's got a buyer lined up tomorrow otherwise.

I had an issue with the car I was planning on purchasing along with some other things going on which took up a lot of time. I'd neglected to visit the forum to see who had replied which is why I had...

I'd appreciate it if you would keep your negative comments to yourself. If you want the car, I'm negotiable. My price is below what cars with even more miles and in worse condition are going for in...

$8,250 to reflect the current market.

I might have found a new Volvo to sink my teeth into so the car is going back up for sale. I've edited the first post to reflect its current condition.

Vehicle is currently located in the Los...

Dude...you're awesome! I wish I'd checked this before. I found out my problem was a bad fuse for the ECM and a sticking relay for the TCM. Threw off the whole car. Replaced them and not a problem...

Most of the codes that were found were pulled from the car at the Volvo dealer, I'm sure using VIDA/DICE since I can't imagine they wouldn't want to try their best to nickel and dime me any chance...

I've got some codes but nothing of value to either of these issues. They're all system hiccups. No CEL's or messages.

I would side with that diagnosis except the ETM and a speed sensor in the transmission have no relation. In the closed feedback loop that would be the accelerator pedal assembly and the ETM, there...

I've been having some random issues lately, wondering if anyone has some insight.

A while ago I had an unintended acceleration issue. I won't go into detail but it was a low speed incident where...

I'll give you a story to illustrate the point I'm going to make.

Bought a 1999 V70 GLT off a 2.5 year lease with 40K miles for about $22K. Over the next 85K miles and 8 years it cost just over...

I use a pressure washer for bugs. I wouldn't pry bugs out from between the fins. I don't remove rocks but I would imagine a small flathead screwdriver, a delicate hand, and some patience would work...

Put that iPD poly torque mount and torque rod on today. If anyone's wondering; there's only more vibration at idle. This car has a poorly balanced motor with a lot of friction and poor idle control...

Turns out I was a little giddy on this one. The fact a Veyron SS is the only car that pushes more boost than a bone stock base XC70 had me questioning it. Turns out my MAP sensor needed to be...

Yes, that would be correct.

Astro, I was reading gauge pressure.
