Can anyone point me in the direction of Achvia's "how to' procedure?

Over 155,000 miles on my 2001, and the tranny shifts smoothly and has almost never given me any problems. One event was remedied by a drain and fill and resetting/retraining.

Of course, thanks to...

I had a similar problem once, even though I change the fluid religously every 35K miles. Took it in thinking it was going to need rebuilt tranny, my indy just did a flush, reset and reran adaptive...

No problem. When you get them off, find the gap between the bottom of the windshield and the rear pointed corner of the cowling, and consider filling that gap with a sealant. Then work the new...

Bought them at the dealer, under $12 each side. Listed the part numbers in my last post. (Volvo Part Nos. 8663-894 & 8663-896)

Thanks for the reply. I changed the small rubber trim pieces at the bottom corner of each front piller at the bottom corners of the windshield, as they were pretty dried out. (Volvo Part Nos....

To update my previous post, my car no longer clunks into Drive from Park or Reverse. The detergent and flush done my the dealer (his detergent, don't know what it was, but cost me ~$25) using a...

psaboic, can you elaborate on the tri piece you're talking about? Is it that small triangular one at the bottom of the A-pillar on the outside of the car? I've got an issue I'm chasing, all drains...

I've got a 2001 with 145,000 miles. An avid reader of this site since 2004, I keep the tranny fuid in good condition with drain-and-fill flushes with Mobil 3309 every 15-20,000 miles. I've never...

No issues at all with the Akebono Euro Ceramics, although I only have them on the rear so far. No noise whatsoever. My indy, a former dealer mechanic, said the same thing--that anything other than...

I had a sunroof leak a couple years ago...got into my car one morning to find water dripping from inside the rear view mirror. :eek:

I followed the adjustment instructions in the resources...

Got the new e-brake pads and hardware, rear rotors and pads installed today. Probably spent 4 hours all-in, but I was taking my time, cleaning everything very thoroughly, etc.

Hard part #1:...

Will do...got the e-brake pads and new hardware (springs set) for that job while I was shopping, thanks to the reports I'd read at this site. [thumbup]

Super...thanks for the tips and reassurance!

I'm about to replace the rear pads and rotors on my 2001, and have just gotten the parts from FCPGroton. I went with the Brembo rotors and Akebono pads. This may be a dumb question, but I want to...

Thanks for the heads up! Mine is beige so black is not desirable for me. I agree the black cladding looks better with the silver! I see they now have black cladding available with some colors,...

How does the Forever Black work with the brown and/or blue cladding (that I think we all have?)?

Mine does the same thing. I've often thought about pulling the driver's seat out and reinstalling just to see if it would go away, but it remains low on the list. The passenger seat seems fine,...

This will help greatly.

Heavy emphasis on the "slightest bit of gas" part. I mean from ~750 rpm up to ~900 rpm, shifting into Drive as if falls back to idle. I know it doesn't sound right, but I can't believe allowing it...

Thanks. My "work-around" procedure right now, which seems to work quite well, is to hold left one foot on the brake and give the car just the slightest bit of gas before shifting into Drive. Shifts...

What about delay shifting from Park -> Drive? Mine still does this each and every morning and sometimes even when its not cold. I keep the fluid changed religously and would like to know if the B4...

Does anyone have a .pdf file similar to the one attached at the beginning of this string showing the components and part numbers for the front windshield washer system? (MY 2001 V70XC).

I've got...

Thanks!

I am preparing to do a 4-corner brake job including pads, rotors, parking brake pads, the works. I have read the how-to guides in the resources section and there's just one thing that I'm not sure...
