I have a 2016 T5 XC70, less than 1,000 miles. I'm experiencing what feels like the shudder associated with engine lugging.

I didn't notice it during the test drive, but then I was testing pick-up...

Forkster - Re: V90, yeah, I saw the pics, and I'd very interested except for two things. We don't want to get yet another wagon (I'll still have a V50 6MT. It's smaller but still a wagon), and I...

Thanks for the input. Just heard from wife that she's tired of Volvo. We've had 4 - current XC70 and V50 6MT, after having 940 (944) and 850 wagon (855T). My parents now has S60 after having 240...

My current ride is 2005 XC70 with 185K miles, and it's time for a new car. Help me figure out what make/models to look at. A CPO around US$35K or would work, preferably with < 40K miles.

The...

I ended up getting 60" Aeroblades and they 'just' fit - some retailers will say you cannot use anything other than 53", but 60" did fit mine - MY 2005. The only way I could be sure was to slide the...

76! I bet that makes 60" look like a child's play. :eek:

I always left the bars up there even with no attachments for boats, and when I took the bars down I started getting over 30mpg on the...

Hi - I am wondering if anyone out has used Thule's new crossbars and what length you've used.

I have been using 58" Thule square profile crossbars for carrying cargo box, kayaks, etc. I needed...

I know this is an old thread, but thought I'd add another data point for others. I have an '05, been very trouble free so far, other than one "Start prevented" message that never recurred (and had...

My bulb looked good until I placed it under the microscope. The filament breakage was very subtle, unlike what you might expect from a normal household bulb.

I had to get the inspection done that day, so I ended up removing the trims to get at the bulb. There are layers of those you gotta remove, so it is a pain. If not careful, you can break off small...

I'm considering getting a used S40 for my parents, either in FWD or AWD, MY2005 or later. They currently drive 964. I'm thinking they'll appreciate better mileage and smaller size of S40. AWD is...

Ok, this is an interesting one.

While driving with a/c on, all of sudden only the passenger side vents started blowing heat. I don't mean not-cold, luke-warm vented outside air, but heated air,...

It disappeared on its own, so I'm all set... for now.

the battery wasn't completely drained, so was able to start the car.

Had weird symptoms
- alarm went off, which I got to calm down,
- opening rear passenger door set off alarm again, and went...

Aero XT 400 - beware that these 'feet' often let water drip in. The seal around them in my 850 were never tight tight enough, and I ended up buying the 'rails' afterward. Not sure about S60 door...

Natsquared - welcome to the forum!

I saw your post before there was any reply, but was on my way out so had to hold off. I did correctly assume that you were debating between two purchase...

I have an AWD Sienna (7 passenger) and '05 XC70 (no 3rd row seats).

If you need a 7 passenger AWD vehicle, I'd go with an AWD Sienna as bbbuzzy mentioned. LE model - cheaper than 'XLE' or...

Most transmission discussions seemed to be related to ATF flush or shift-flare, but I've got a different question.

My '05 @41K miles seems to have a premature (up)shifting into 5th gear. It...

I had the Thule 'feet' style for the 850 wagon I had.
The way the door seals have to close around the metal brackets, I had the water leak in and after the rain.

The other downside of the...

Update & a question -

Got back from vaca, tried to make it fail again, but the car started each and every time - with my key, 2nd master key, the valet key.

Brought in to the dealer who...

Gave it another try with each of the two master keys, literally holding them together. I cannot reproduce the problem and the car starts right up. It must be one of those things that may or may not...

I agree 100% that it's the immobilizer. I just don't know how to make the dealer fix it when it works properly.

By the way, JRL, thanks for the time you spend on this forum.

I remember reading somewhere that the antenna is ~$100? Or, am I mistaken?

I'd love to have the dealer replace the antenna for the peace of mind. The problem is, the car is under the warranty...

No, my wife was alone in the garage, my keys were no where near the car, when the problem first occurred.

She does have a remote for Toyota Sienna in the same key chain, but then I have the same...

Boy, wife came back and tried with her key again - the car started. [cussing]

I was so hoping her key wouldn't work so the dealer could reproduce the problem and get the error code. Now we've...
