I have an 02 xc with 226k miles. It had the typical shift flare issues. I changed the fluid several times to get it clean and installed a reman valve body and it was shifting great for the past few...

that's the problem, I don't have a vida so I'm kinda stuck going to the dealer or getting one off ebay I guess..

JRL.. actually mine is a 2002 XC. It has 226k miles. I dont know any history on the car, I called the dealer that serviced it for years and they say they lost all the service history when they...

JRL.. from what ive read everyone says I have to have the trans software update and the adaptations done ? I'm also going to have them turn off the neutral stop feature and reset the fluid counter.

Thanks Howard.. I'm gonna call them in the morning and see what the damage is gonna be..

I was wondering for those of you that has had the trans software update and adaptation done what is the cost of all this ? I'm planning on having mine done soon so trying to get prepared for...

gotcha.. ill have to check mine. The previous owners on my car were not car savvy for sure. LOL

Thanks Astro. How did someone install the bulbs incorrectly ? That's whats wrong with mine the focal point seems way off. ill get the adaptation done, replace the headlight bulbs and I found the...

The lens look good, I don't know if its a bulb issue or what. I can put them on high beam and they look great.

Well.. I did the B4 servo, serviced the trans fluid and installed a reman valve body and its finally shifting pretty good. It still has to me a very slight hard shift. I'm gonna take to the dealer...

Willy.. I have used electrical tape many many times and never had an issue, I appreciate the concern though :)

Yes I did, I never was a big fan of the steering wheel controls anyways, but if you buy the adapter you can still use it.

I had an extra kenwood touch screen and wanted to install in the wifes XC but didn't want to pay 100 bucks just for a install kit. I did some searching and found a company called spiralaudio.com. If...

If all that checks out then it could be an issue with the O2 sensor itself ?

I always change my oil at 3k no matter the book suggestions. If you do a lot of stop and go driving you may want to do that as well. Also.. I always change my filter and fluid at the same time, its...

When I log in and post, my post pages are backwards ? My last page is actually my first page. I'm sure its a setting ive changed by accident how do I fix ?

The fluid was pretty bad.. I went through about 14 qts to get it looking good again. I'm planning on replacing the valve body, then running a trans adapt on it and hopefully thatll take care of it

I replaced the MAF and that got rid of the P0102 code, I'm still getting the P0030 for the O2 sensor heater circuit. At 225k miles I'm guessing its probably needing replaced. Ill check for vac leaks...

Well.. I serviced the trans fluid which helped A LOT.. but it is still shifting kinda hard so I decided to go ahead and purchase a replacement valve body ( 602.00 bucks ) ouch.. I'm planning on...

I have to do a pcv on this car as well so ill have the opportunity to replace some hoses with new and give her a good look over.

Ill do that... I removed the MAF and cleaned it, cleared the codes and it comes right back after a couple of starts..

yea... I'm asking what is the best way to diagnose the issues

I ran a scan and ive come up with

P0102- MAF
P0030- o2 sensor

I guess I basically need to replace both ? Whats odd.. when I turn the car off the cooling fans stay running about 5-10 min no...

JRL.. I might be, but, I figure for less than 100 bucks if it keeps it going for awhile longer is a lot cheaper than 600.00 + for a valve body.

Astro.. that's exactly how I planned on doing it....

I just removed the drain plug and id say about 4 qts came out. I'm planning on putting 3 qts in it, adding the trans tune, and then topping off with trans fluid. I then plan on driving it for a day...
