Gang,
Did a STUPID thing.... I left the parking lights on and was so tired I did not notice until the alarm went off... it was, of course, by then too late.
I've reprogrammed the 803 Stereo...

I have an '01 and make frequent trips to/from PA<->TX. I've noticed that fuel brand makes a difference and that the winter fuels of the north east seem to be harder on it. I cannot explain why...

Will do.... I am leaving for holiday in the AM.. I will post upon return.

Thanks for the help again, and hope my info can help others.

Ty.

I *JUST* found this thread... Shame on me for not paying attention. :)

Thank you all for the discussion and links. I knew of the IPD project
for a while. It had me thinking.... and Heico would...

JRL,
Thanks for the prompt reply. I concur the alternator is behaving a bit suspicious and will, thanks to your input, have it checked. The was a fan (or fan module) replaced a while back. I...

I saw this tonight on the tele. It was rather sketchy with info and before contacting N/A, I would like to ask the Real Experts (aka THIS forum). If this is false, then we should get VCNA to handle...

Yes, I have a friend who is an IPD dealer/distributor/installer. I guess you can say he's "IPD certified". I can give the contact info to anyone who wishes. He is the best in the Metro D.C. area,...

To augment the words of those about turning "NC" off in the 2001 XC, I completed my first long haul trip (3300 miles R/T). The terrain was from flat (Texas) to the steep mountains of West Virginia...

Gang,
I just made a trip from Dallas, Texas to Baltimore, Maryland and back. Total distance travelled approx 3300 miles. I had myself and about 100 lbs of cargo in the car. Average speed...

Dick,
Thanks for that. The car has done it a few times again. It happens mostly now when I auto-close the driver window. I will have it checked when it goes back in for a checkup. (a...

Thanks, I didn't think we had that level of sophistication in the car in the MY 2001 cars. It was just quite odd to see. I should have taken a photo. It was 'just' enough to vent, but not enough...

I noticed the other day that one of my windows was open about 1/4" when I came out from work. I normally keep all windows closed tight due to the sudden horizontal rain storms we get.

I have read...

Gang,
I could use some serious advice. I just came back from the dealership who was full of nothing but excuses and refused to service the car. My appointment had been cancelled without...

Ok all, I got it these to work for everything from classical to heavy pounding bass. You can enjoy a beautiful light flute, piano, full Orchestra, Country... (etc) or a mirror shaking bass...

Glad it sounds good.

I believe I have a digital (optical or copper) connection as well now.
All my audio here at home is that way and the difference is great!
Glad you like it.

I have 1...

Yes!!!! Let's hear about it!!!!!

Does it pass the 'THX' test????





FYI, I just spent the evening learning a few parameters
and tricks about the HU-803/13's to add to the PDF file

I am getting 27+ mpg with my auto-trans, '01 XC70, including running the A/C, on the highway. Nothing is free, so when I am in stop/go traffic, I do take a fair hit (15 avg mpg local) and take a...

Gang,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!

I arrived at the shop today to find the senior tech, shop foreman, and I think the regional rep all working on the car. They had a small problem with a...

Thanks that helps establish a timeline marker.


I am both lucky and VERY VERY pleased with my XC.

I think back now and realize I didn't notice anything but perfection from the beginning even...

I have a MY2001 XC-70 and received the ETM update software a month ago. (I just purchased the '01 2+ months ago and its first trip to the dealer was for all the updates & 'check it over').

To the...

Hey all.
I will (hopefully) be getting back my '01 xc-70 tomorrow. It went in for a boot kit change (sliced one) and an audio upgrade.

The boot kit was no biggie, but the audio has turned...

In closing this little thread about the car's performance,

I have discovered there are MANY IPD parts on the car.

The most obvious is the IPD strut brace # 1B1880 which stops/reduces

I have a HU-613 installed up front,
but do have the D-pillar speakers as well.

One speaker is inop, and the techs suspect a lost/loose jumper.
The front center speaker is installed, but also...

My car is a "pseudo" XC-R as IPD calls it (many top line IPD parts).

I have an interesting problem (or great feature)..

Since the install of of campaign 155 (but not 149 or others
.. I got...
