    Haven't yet checked in there again, but I'm really glad for him. Wow! Whoda thunk? That was certainly great advice... if the fan was truly responsible for solving the problem.

    OTOH, temps...

    I spoke with my mechanic today, and he assured me that much of what you suggested was what they did.

    He told me that they are getting in a new guy next week who specializes in German cars, and...

    I agree that it does sound like a similar problem. Hope it works our for that guy.

    On another note, I forgot to add an unusual symptom that I had about 3 weeks ago. Three times I turned the key...

    Thanks very much for your input. I'll read this over again when I have access to the car. Battery is new so I know the connections there should be clean. I may have to send it back to the shop...

    Old thread, I know, but there are companies that make complete kits for just such repairs, including Leatherique, that come with fillers for deep cracks, conditioner, and finishes that are a good...
  6. Engine cut out repeatedly on highway (65 mph),terminating in limp home mode

    It's a 2004 XC70 with just under 100.

    I was on the Interstate doing around 65 when it started to cut out. It was as if the engine stopped running for a second, then started right up again for a...

    Well as I implied already, I've been all over the map with changing mechanics. My buddy urged me to use his mechanic, and though he was cheaper than the shop with the Volvo software, he left me with...

    Problems solved guys! I was at a complete loss when I couldn't the hood to open, so I called the local garage where I *used* to get all my work done. They just got too expensive even though a...

    Yeah that's what the Monro guy seemed to be pointing to. If it happens again I'll probably just get the rear brakes done.

    That said, I figured out the function of the transmission dipstick, then...

    I'm still in limbo on this one. After running the car for 20 minutes, I could not figure out how to get the dipstick out, even though I've done it before when I did the "drain and flush" thing about...

    Thank you both for your replies.

    Last night before going to bed, it occurred to me that I had never thought to check the transmission level after doing my errands yesterday. My bad. I'll check...
  12. 2004: Occasional hesitancy when asked to drive backwards, then clunks and goes.

    This problem first started happening about a year ago when backing out of the cold garage while the weather was still quite wintery. I would get it to move a couple of feet then it would stick...
  13. Best place to get upper door replacement moldings

    I had some paint work done, and instead of taping off the upper moldings on the doors (the bump strip in the middle of the door) they removed them.

    Problem is they curled up during the removal...
  14. Center rear seat arm rest for XC-70 light gray

    Condition is like new, but it was the wrong color. Would definitely look cool in a black interior to add some contrast. It's a plain leather one, no cup holders or anything special.

    asking $20...

    I did mine at 80k on a 12 year-old 2004. I figured it was worth the peace of mind. I read too many stories from people who had system failures and the subsequent engine damage.

    Nice! Mine's in the body shop with a similar dent. The other guy's insurance is paying for it.

    I might have chosen the AC Delco battery if it had come up in my searches, but the one I got was about the same price, and the store is only a mile away. Thanks for your input tho.

    For the record, I pulled the trigger on the Advance AutoCraft Platinum AGM battery in the H8 size. I was able to get it online for pickup at the store, and by doing it that way I saved close to $50....

    Does that mean that the triangular floor bracket will grab the foot of the battery correctly when it's in the position closest to the spare tire? That's my main concern at this point. I'd rather...

    Thanks for the responses guys. I'm tossed between AGM and Lead Acid at the moment, but leaning towards AGM. My current battery is lead acid, so it's really nothing special. I'm confused about...

    Recommendations for a replacement Battery

    I've had a couple of recent instances of needing a jump start. One was my mistake (leaving the key on to charge my damned phone) the other was today. 19 degrees out and a couple of short trips left...
