For the last couple of weeks my 2005 (240k) has been running a little rough but it seemed like a tune up would fix it. New plugs, oil and air clean but there was no change. No CEL. Then a few days...

The springs are installed just like the photo in the article. Like I said the pedal doesn’t go down when the car is not running even while applying quite a bit of pressure only when the car is...

Our 2005 XC (210k miles) started to having a front end wobble under light to medium braking and the front right rotor was showing signs of chatter so I replaced the pads, rotors and calipers. The...

My wife just ran our 2005 XC70 into a curb today and screwed up the lip on the front wheel really bad. I haven’t actually seen the car yet but from the picture she sent I’ll need to get a new wheel....

The wife's car is a 2005 xc with 206k miles and for the past few of weeks it has been having an intermittent stumble. It is usually on the freeway at a constant speed between 2000 and 2200 rpm . It...

I've replaced two timing belts the first without removing the crank pulley and the second with removing it. it was much easier to do with removal of the pulley. You really do need someway to lock the...

Did I read correctly that the fluid level is at the hot mark when the transmission is cold? Take some fluid out so that its at the cold mark when its cold. I overfilled once and the thing barely...

The $300 hose itself is fine it's just the little plastic line that comes off the banjo bolt that was broken. I found some at the local autozone for $5 and swapped it out. I cleaned the expensive...

this line is pretty small. like 1/16" ID. i do have some braided return line for my old mercedes 240d but even that might be bigger.

I'm changing the flame trap out today and when I got the intake manifold out I found that the small plastic (vacuum?) line coming off of the banjo bolt was pretty much gone

Has anyone...

Thanks that makes thing easier.

In a different thread I posted I was wondering about shifting woes and a noisy exhaust valve solenoid on my wife's 2005. While I was looking around I noticed that there was a little oil leaking from...

I put in a new battery and she started right up. I drove around to see if it would throw a code or shift poorly. While cold everything was fine but once hot it started to shift pretty hard. I check...

Got the car home and pulled the codes. P0027 exhaust valve solenoid so I don't think that has anything to do with the shifting. The battery is dead so I'm hopeful a new one will fix the shift issue....

I did charge the battery and it seemed good plus she drives about 35 miles on the freeway to work. The damage was just a nice long scrape down the drivers side nothing too serious. A women pulled out...

Just got a text from my wife that her 2005 xc is having a hard time finding the correct gear and that the CEL came on. I'm at work so I won't be able to pull the codes until later but Im' just trying...

It is a new sound or at least louder than before. I can't say I've noticed it in the past. Does this work all the time or just when there is low vacuum? I mean doesn't the engine produce enough...

I just changed the pads and rotors on my wife's 2005 xc70 and noticed a buzzing sound coming from the engine compartment. Had her push on the pedal while I poked around and it is coming from what...

is it dead like it won't do anything because i overfilled mine once (not by very much either) and it barley moved. it couldn't figure out what gear to be in and when i drained it and refilled to the...

Yesterday I let it idle for about 10 minutes, turned it off and then checked the oil right away and there were bubbles on the dip stick. I had read this indicates that the o-rings are bad. I should...

Yeah I guess that the best place to start. The light and warning message don't come on at idle so that makes me wonder a bit I mean if the pickup was blocked I would think it would do it all the...

In another thread I asked about P0026 and P0027 codes on my wife's 2005 xc70 with 89k. I fixed that by cleaning the valve solenoids and putting on new gaskets. The screen on the exhaust gasket looked...

UPDATE: after sitting for 9 hours i moved into my garage and no valve noise. The CEL is still on.

it has not thrown these codes. it seems like they are for both intake and exhaust solnoids.
