Haven't heard this at all. I believe as with any AWD system, it's important to have all four tires of the identical make/model/size and be sure to rotate them regularly to distribute the wear. I...

So, after I finally replaced the Haldex pressure switch, the DEM is now happy and green on VIDA. I was able to come close to reproducing the conditions from the first graph, see below.

So, my AWD wasn't working on my recently acquired 2005 XC90 T6, 122,000 miles; it was sliding around in the snow pretty badly as a FWD car. I buy VIDA/DiCE and find this:...

From where I sit, you seem to have been there, done that, and I can reckon you get weary of dispensing the same pieces of advice repeatedly (i.e., buy factory parts, cover the basics, use common...

I am awaiting a genuine Bosch VR right now, I did some metering on the alternator diodes and believe it to be good. Heck even the brushes on the VR assy look good, but I concluded that it was dead...

With engine at ~2000RPM, 11.2V @ battery, 11.2V @ alternator B+, 0Ω between battery (-) and body ground...looking like the alternator, this seems to be a genuine PITA to replace. Sigh.

Our '99 V70XC is not charging the battery.

Wife reports that the Battery light came on, followed by 3 or 4 other warning lights (ABS, traction control?, not sure). Car kept running so she...

You very well might have the timing belt installed one tooth off - be VERY careful when you remove and re-install it. These are interference engines and if the cam timing is too far off, the pistons...

I had an issue where the fuel door wouldn't work at all, turned out the front passenger door lock switch was between positions. Once I moved the switch to each position, it worked fine. Something to...

Stonington, I made some changes to the steps to clear things up.

almostarctic, you want 2 fittings for the tranny cooler lines, not 4. The 2424 in the P/N is key, find that and you will get a...

Well, the Cryomax failed after two years. OEM this time.

So, not remembering how exactly I did this last time, I log in and search the forum for some help and what do I find but my own post!

I got a chance to buy some seats to replace mine, but the seller doesn't have the color code. His are from a 2000 S70, my car is a 1999 V70XC. My color is 3960, Tan I believe.

Seller says his...

About four years ago when my 99 V70XC was new to me, I did a tranny flush (via the cooler lines). Car had ~96,000 miles.

I used whatever ATF is recommended for these boxes, can't recall, but NOT...

Rear shocks any good?

Hey all,

At 138,000 miles the radiator went; hairline crack in tank below upper hose fitting. Caught it before it ever overheated.

I like rockauto.com and they had a Valeo unit for roughly...

I agree, it's got to do with the security system and the chip in the key. Sometimes it seems as though a little pause between inserting the key and engaging the starter seems to help.

Mine sucks, 18 around town and 22 highway. Just found out I had a compression and/or coil problem on #5 though.
