Check out the new DieHard Advanced Gold AGM batteries, the "gold" series has been updated....

In that case, that's why we have Fog lights.




Been there and the 6K HID reflects off the fog pretty intense for sure, just like street signs lighting up.....That effect gets more intense the...

Sounds like time to visit IPD for some upgrades:

The most visible light to the human eye is mid day daylight spectrum, the 5000K-6000K region.

You can buy most any HID kit in that Kelvin range if that is the spectrum you desire.
It will also...

That looks awesome !!!

Very Nice!

I'd think these would be popular as a kit or a bolt on if it were offered by someone....

>>If you want to upgrade the battery, the Group 48 DieHard Advanced Gold AGM is a total beast and a drop in replacement.


Group 48 is the factory D5 Diesel battery but the Gas model XC has the...

Yeah, the Aisin in our 03' XC70 responded to non-forum approved Amsoil Synthetic ATF quite well. With the shifting improvement, I would never consider going back to factory mineral oil.
As a note,...

^^^^^^WHS
Could even add aftermarket heated blades too!

Check TireRack, etc. (Google, Bing,etc. for "tire chains" ) You can buy chains for any vehicle, it doesn't matter if Volvo doesn't sell them at the dealer.

There are also several types of chains...

Time to start learning how to work on cars if you can't afford to pay someone....especially a dealer.

Sounds like you may have some work ahead of you bud.

.

^^^^^ Exactly... And a heck of a lot more comfortable to drive than a Honda or Acura with their stiff suspensions and hard seats.


.

Don't have a panic attack, ATF won't hurt anything in the power steering.

.

^^^^^ Exactly! It also makes you wonder how many are low post Trolls....


Anyway, we absolutely love our XC, it rides amazing, the seats are awesome, the traction is excellent in snow and ice...

JRL, can "instant traction" be programmed into the 03-05 cars?



.

Ok, let us know if it spins all 4 wheels, my bet is on the front two due to the malfunction warning.





.

Agreed.

I do the same thing, it's really a minor issue as it doesn't "leak" enough to warrant any repair.
The fluid loss is more of a seep that just causes the angle gear housing to be a...

Sounds like it's not turning on AWD to me.

The LEDs can be found at www.superbrightleds.com , check out the automotive lighting.....lots of options.

Also, if you run the 55watt DDM HIDs, you don't need the error correction box.

SYS, Do all your gears work as they did or are you missing 3rd gear now?

Synthetic or conventional isn't the spec, it's the additives and performance of the fluid required to meet that spec. Whether the usual 3309 is conventional oil based is really irrelevant. Same goes...

I have the OEM flaps, they fit and work good. I'll try to get some pics for you to check them out.

Has anyone done analysis to compare regular ATF to Synthetic in these cars? I would imagine you'd see low wear just like the engine oil

Synthetic oil is the only way to go !!
