Nivomat Shocks are of a self-leveling type which are used in conjunction with the alongside coil springs which are 'softer' due to the nature of the 'self-levelling' design whereas the shock itself...
Flagrant ineptitude award to the service department regarding my recent experience for an oil leak - 2000 XC70 with high mileage.
Work performed per 'technician' recommendation- along with other...
Yes I took a chance and installed their kit about a year ago.
Was out of a job- and money , couldn't afford the dealer and all other options meant a dealer trip for the software trigger.

Thanks JR,
Makes sense after more research thru the net.
Question: the inlet pipe on the chk valve has a barb on the end- or a rounded swaged (?) end- does this need to be trimmed off for the quick...
Hi JRL,
Regarding the check valve, could you clarify exactly where it goes?
"Mount right behind the fuel filter, in fact now we now buy a new filter, cut the end off the rear and attach the check...
My limited supply of Metric 1/2" drive(long) sockets are 17,18,23,24 only.
Will need to buy a 21 mm for the top of the strut but not sure what size the lower 2 bolts?
Thanks in advance- I just...
Just as a follow-up- I bought the check valve S.U.R&R. 5/16" as recommended.
Next it dawned on me to replace the fuel filter first- if I could find it. . .
on a 2000 xc70, it's quite accessible...
Well I weigh about 150 and my neighbor about 250- together we sat on my rear bumper with the tailgate open and down we went- about an inch or so.
Some research showed this setup as including plastic...
Save thousands. Don't do the work at the dealer. Get the ETM rebuilt, not replaced. As a casual follower of these threads I'm pretty sure xemodex is your solution. Search on that. Have an indy...
Hi Folks,
Old thread but new to me!- as my old girl [2000v70xc] is giving symptoms of the above.
. . . have been researching and found mention of a possible bad relay # 104 if intermittent, check...
"Dug deeper and found the big plastic airhose to the TCM had been blown off and clamp was gone. refit the hose without clamp, ran perfect 1/2 a block and then fell off. Now with shiny new clamp and...
2000 XC70 fyi, and a temporary fix just happened using a muffler clamp and some pieces of an old 'v' belt to join the lower spring seat and upper strut mount into holy matrimony.
The un-godly...
That was my plan , to make a 1978 T140 Bonneville look like a 1968, so - good guess!
Well folks I maxed out my MasterCard and took a chance on Canadian Xemodex ETM just so I could continue to nurse my Volvo into the next adventure of catastrophe .
Times are tough when your out of...
Thanks for that info,
Do you think it's possible to just change the seat or is it more likely that the strut itself is also worn out?
Hi Folks,
I was certain that the loud clunk sound over pot holes etc. was from the sway bar end links, which have been replaced twice now.
Today I got fed up with the noise and took both sides off...
Do yourself a big favor and buy a Subaru.
These early XC70's are nothing but trouble waiting to happen and very difficult to work on for a newly minted shade tree mechanic.
My love and history of...
Hi Folks,
This AM my battery went dead while dropping off the princess's 930 for a new muffler.
A quick-charge unit got it started-with difficulty- and the ABS and brake warning lights lit, but...
If you had the ETM replaced by normal means, it's likely that the original type of unit was plugged back into your car?
What you describe is exactly what my own car was doing and on mine, the main...
Hi Folks,
Just noticed a connector plug dangling underneath the front end and can't see where it originally attached. . .
When I bought the car (used) the wipers were hooked up but acting...

This same relay (#1) was used for Air Conditioning as per some web queries but it is what it is. . .
I don't read French. . .
Well, after a lot of research and fingers crossed, went with XeMODex ETM and glad for it.
Ordered it yesterday, got here this AM, and now my Volvo is back and running perfectly. . .
It is plug...
Had an independent repair shop scan for error codes today using a similar tool to VIDA.
Found 5 codes related to a faulty ETM.
Suggested around $600 to install a used unit. . . doesn't sound too...
Hi - no codes using Actron Auto Scanner. . .
I don't know anything about VIDA but would like to learn. [Vadis- volvo automotive diagnostic information systems]?
You are correct about throwing...
