The fuel gauge on my 2006 XC70 is failing. It works, then it doesn't. Recently, I had my trusty (10+ years, four different Volvos) mechanic "fix" a similar problem on my son's 1994 940 and $250...

Never hurts to ask. If you can come up with something similar in Northern CA / Tahoe / Reno etc, let me know. I'm looking for something to replace my '99 V70XC. Budget is <$15K. Thx.

How many more miles, and where in CA?

"Top Tether Anchors" aka "Child Restraint Anchorages" - $33 from the local Volvo dealer.

Hi. My '06 XC70 has three small metal attachements bolted to the center of the back of each passenger seat in the cargo area. They look like they're for securing something to the back of the seat,...

Hi. Our '99 XC70 is now my 17-year-old's and we recently had a battery fail. I replaced it, but neglected to enter the SC816 radio code which I have. Three guesses later, my daughter's telling me...

Find a qualified local mechanic who you can trust. Have them perform all the factory recommended maintenance. It's a better way to protect your investment, IMHO. Good luck!

I'm replacing the side view mirror control switch on my '99 V70XC. I'm sure for alot of you, that's a no brainer but I need directions. Anyone know where I can find them online? Thanks.

IPD sells seat covers with cut outs for the side air bags.

Unless they're specifically made for the model and year Volvo. I have a Comfy Sheepskin seat covers on the drivers seats of both of mine. They have openings which allow the airbags to deploy.

My '99 V70XC turned twelve recently prompting me to create this thread. If you're an original owner too, take a bow and tell your story. [thumbup]

Having owned this car since it was new, not having to add oil between 5K oil changes was my expectation - no one told me. Obviously, not a realistic expectation in light of its' age. I'm monitoring...

My '99 XC70 consumes a quart of oil every ~1500 miles or ~2 months. There's no evidence of leaking, so I'm guessing it's time to consider having the engine rebuilt. As the original owner, I have...

I recently put a Wheelskin Steering Wheel Cover on my '99. IPD has sales from time to time which might save you a few $$$.

Anyone know how to remove the driver's side headrest? This was easy for the 1999 V70 XC, not so easy for the 2006 XC70. Affirmative responses are greatly preferred! [thumbup]

Thanks.

UPDATE:...

In the end, I installed this $12.99 1/8" auxilliary input jack in the back of my glove compartment, snaked the cable under the back seat following the procedure documented here, and velcro'd the MII...

My '99 V70XC has Goodyear Assurance TripleTreads - second set. Tough choice.

Thanks!

Lots of good reviews there, but none from XC70 owners. And reviewers' comments about tire noise are all over the map - positive, neutral and negative.

Any XC70 owners switch from Pirelli...

Any Michelin Hydroedge (w Green X) owners care to share their recent experiences? Thanks.

Hi Art. Can you post the procedure for calibrating the sunroof? Thanks.

To run the audio cable from within the arm rest to the back of the car where my iMIV lives, I need to pop off this cover (blue X).

[thumbup] for that. Here's what "Melbus prep" looks like on my 2006 XC70 after I peeled off the panel covering the left rear wheel well ...

Art - In your installation write up you chose not to disconnect the battery. I'm about to install mine and I read in the iMIV installation instructions that you should? Is there some potential...
