2001 V70XC 5 cylinder turbo engine
Got a check engine light last week.
Took it to Autozone, and they said it either needs coolant (doesn't seem to), or is a thermostat or coolant sensor. Had...
Since last time I was in this forum:
put in new AC system (then it blew a line, so haven't used it yet!)
new timing belt
new seals (blowing oil all over the place)
Now it needs either a...
What is a B4 cover, and how does this or a new radiator help the transmission shift better?
I'd do that if I could get my existing unit out. I'm afraid of breaking something. Once out, I will still need to figure out how to get disks out of it. I guess a hammer/chisel would do it.
I totally forgot about the turbo, and was thinking more like throttle body/carb intake, where that wouldn't matter. I just slipped in in to make contact, and the motor ran fine after that. I then...
No, the dealer (mechanics) thought the XC's were ALL junk, including the new ones. They agreed that they are too heavy for the way they are built. I have a 2000# boat, so towing is a requirement, but...
Well, I did this, and when testing, it ran extremely rough, and threw another code for an Audi. I think it was 1284 or something like that. I think the diagnosis was a fuel pump #2 or something. I...
The wife limped it home 3 miles from a dangerous intersection after bad problems. Replaced coil, and it seems better. This pig still needs a good washing and vac. The wiring is all crumbling and...
2 questions:
1) If I do the swap, can the cover remain off when testing? (I haven't looked yet, but am assuming a yes here.)
2) Should I disconnect battery first?
Thank you.
Just picked one up at Advance now. It is an Intermotor, and their web site says "BWD/Intermotor Ignition Coil". It doesn't say VOLVO anywhere on it, and it is made in China. I think it came to $58...
Well, I checked the codes. The first was:
PO422
Type: Powertrain
Status: Stored
ECU: 11
Description: Main Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold
Then I noticed the second, which was:
PO303...
Well, it speaks for itself.
Is this beyond the shadetree mechanic?
Anyone have diagrams or directions? Some cars are easy, and some not. Which is this? (I think I have an idea.)
Thanks.
These cars are total pigs. They are overweight and porky. They are underengineered and eat transmissions, suspensions, and brakes like candy. That said, the motors are good, the heated leather seats...
That's dumping good money down a hole for me. This is an 11 year old boat, with a great motor, but everything is getting tired. The wiring is all crumbling, the thing is HEAVY, and eats tires,...
The "add another disk" method won't work when the kid put a quarter in there first. Still can't figure out how to remove the whole thing, to get my Kid Rock CD back. I feel like scrapping the car...
So, being an interference engine, and the fact she limped it home, we're safe there. Also since it is rough even in PARK, it isn't transmission related.
Right so far?
So, what are the exact...
Hey, some of the earlier photos are not showing up. Can those of you who posted them please refresh the links?
Oh, the reason I found this thread is the wife called, freaking out. She said the car...
The BFG AT KO are absolutely one of the BEST snow tires I have ever had, and many, MANY agree with that sentiment.
I thought the M+S stood for Mud and Snow, which means snow tires.
No?
As...
The Mastercraft Strategy are M+S rated, so I think that makes them a snow tire, for what that is worth.
I found a site online (www.tireteam.com), which has them for $439.42 including shipping,...
Hasn't everything? (Thanks Geitner, Oblahblah, and Congress!)
Those are Winter tires, I was looking for all-seasons.
The Altimax have gone up from $78 to $93!

So, what do people think of the General Altimax HP?
The Tirerack has these in 215/65R16 for $93, plus $84.86 shipping.
I would still need to mount them up and balance.
Otherwise, Town Fair...
