yup, turned out it was a loose wire under the driver's seat, but they didn't give me any additional detail.

many thanks to people on this forum.  I didn't need to use it, but thanks to this...

wow, what a coincidence.  just dropped off my wife's 04 XC70 today, due to the SRS urgent service message.

Glad you pointed out the wire rubbing part, because I'll bet they come back and tell...

Okay, I searched, and saw reports of how good/deep the coloring is on our plastic cladding, but I could not find anyone with tips on how to smooth or remove rub marks.

that must be a change.

I took delivery of our 2004 XC70 in July 2003, and it did come with pull out, horizontal, cargo cover, that covers the storage area.

Mine did not come with any kind of...

I ordered my XC70 2004, and it came with 40.20.40, which is what I prefer.

I don't think you are being paranoid.  I think you are being smart by caring about overloading the tongue.

Seems like the smaller hitch + a small trailer would be almost the same...

the smaller trailer hitch will probably work great for the bike rack, but I wold not recommend using any kind of hitch with that cargo tray + 200lbs.

sure, in theory, our volvos can tow 3300lbs,...

Really wanna give her a present ?  send her to sweden to pick it up !  Check out the OSD (overseas delivery service) forum.  Free round trip tickets, better price than you could get in...

jlf... the tone of your message is exactly how I felt when first playing with the settings on our 04 XC70. It didn't make sense, seemed backwards, etc.

Hi Eric...

From my experience with my 04'XC70 (okay my wife's XC70), locking the remote with a given remote will remember the current mirror position, for the next time you use that remote to...

Okay, my flight was way back in July, but I was on a different flight last night and reminded myself that I should post this as a helpful tidbit (because I forgot to mention it in my "what to do...

Ahhh... mirror memory problems.  This was frustrating me also, especially in the first week after we got our 04'XC70, until I realized the following...

Not sure which way you will be passing through Denmark, but if you take a ferry from Gothenburg, or if you just drive over the bridge from Malmo, there is no customs check.  You just...

hi imxc90...

I got an XC70, so picture may not be relevant. I also don't think I have a picture since the flaps were put on.

Hello All...

While it may be burried in this forum somewhere, I never did find a detailed report of EXACTLY what to expect after I dropped off the car, and this part of the process always seemed a...

hi merv...

Hi HobbyPT...

I did purchase a few things from the factory while I was there, and I am now VERY opinionated about it.  Keep in mind your experience may vary, but...
