Had this issue on my own 2001 v70. Here's what happened. Wear products block the ATF filter, starving the pump in the transmission. Without ATF pressure, an automatic transmission won't do...

Are you asking how to remove the transmission fluid cooler lines from the radiator? They have quick disconnect clips on them squeeze the tabs together and pull back.

For the front air dam piece,...

I made my own bridge with two 4x4's across the fenders. Front of engine hooked to eye bolt. Allthread on the rear of engine. Fender washers over that and then nuts. Tighten front and rear to...

Yes, replacement can be done in your garage without a lift. Takes plenty of time. The subframe needs to come off entirely. Will need either a bridge across the fender to support and lower the...

The lonnnnng tutorial is in process, with lots of pictures. Mine is back together, but not 100% done. Driving it, but it needs the firmware update so I can reset adaptives. Shifting hard because...

Your pump is cavitating, that's your noise. I just rebuilt my 01 trans with the same issues. The pump doesn't fail as a gear pump is pretty darn tough to break. What seems to happen is the filter...

You need an '03 or '04. Can only swap between those two years.

If that's the case, a rebuild kit with new regulator/brushes would fix it for about $50.

Adding to the consensus. Until the low voltage issues are corrected, disregard odd indications. Low voltage does odd things in these cars.

What a long, strange trip this thread is. Yeah, the 2001-2002 buyer's remorse can make people a little hot under the collar. Having just spent about 4-5 weeks repairing my own 01's issues, I get...

I have to agree with Bill on this one. These are fairly sophisticated cars (or were at the time of manufacture, when compared to other cars). Sophistication adds complexity, but I've found Volvo to...

I'm guessing the glove test would be meaningless as a way to check pcv health given the big leak at the camshaft seal?

Transmission is out. I'll get the pump out this weekend. Does anyone know which filter is used in these? They are available with and without a lower rib (I guess to baffle some fluid in the sump?)...

Changing the cabin filter with one containing activated carbon or charcoal is your best bet.

I have a few indications of a bad or completely starved pump. It is making a very audible whining noise. Pressure at the main shaft lube pressure port is zero. At any rpm and in any gear it never...

Filter blockage makes some sense for my symptoms. That's only accessible with the trans removed, right?

I have a gauge set arriving today to check pump pressure.

Thanks. I have a gauge set coming today to check the line pressure. If the pump is starving, I should be able to diagnose it with that. The filter in these is non serviceable without trans...

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I'm having the same issue on my FWD 2001 V70 T5.

Out of curiosity, did this ever get resolved? Was there a pump whine type of sound before it occurred? I had...
