But he said that there was only one code indicating it was a bad O2 Sensor. In other words, no chain reaction/snowball effect causing the O2 DTC.

My 99 V70XC has 102K miles and the "Check Engine" light diagnosis indicated a new O2 sensor is needed. I took the car to an independent Volvo repair place and they're charging me $470 (diagnosis...

Ah yes... winter. Two things on my 99 XC start to irritate me. First, my wipers get stuck in the up position when it geets cold out. Frankly, I don't think they work in the first place (that's...

A great site with pics on how to do it. I used it when I did mine. Unfortunately, you do have to pick up the bulb from your Volvo dealer. ...

I've got a 99, and the other day I ran out of gas because my gas warning light never came on. I knew I was close to empty (my gauge still works) but was thought I was good because the light that...

That's it! My patience ended today and I called the Volvo Parts and Service Warranty Rebates Office in Memphis Tennessee. I asked if I could just send in my service order from the dealership...

I'm wondering if I could see what your letter states. I'm also wondering if I can go ahead and submit my paperwork to get reimbursed for my faulty ETM with the info given in your letter. Is it just...

I called on 17 Feb 06 and asked them where my ETM letter was? I was told by customer relations that over 40,000 letters were going out and that everyone should have theirs by the end of MARCH. Yeah...

That falls into the last year the crappy Electronic Throttle Module (ETM) was used. Standby for more saga in that department. Good news is that it's covered under a new extended warranty of 10...

Alright, it's been roughly a month since I called Volvo customer service and asked about the ETM warranty extention and reimbursements for past owner expenses. They said they'd be sending letters...

Sorry, I wrote the below before reading the first couple of posts about the warranty mileage and time decreasing from 200,000 miles or 10 years. Oh well, someone might still benifit by this...

Go...

Cool looking stickers. Is it possible to get one in red gradient to go with my XC red Cross Country? Or is it only available in blue? Thanks.

With gas prices now up to $3 for regular gas and $3.20 for premium, I was wondering if it would hurt to start putting in 87 Octane to save some money at the pumps. The owners manual is a little...

I thought I'd let everyone know about another possibility of why your XC's engine is not turning over. It could be a problem with an electronic "security" feature called the Immobilizer Antenna ring...

I've got a 99 XC and a Thule rack system. The "feet" for the square factory bars work well. Just pay for those new feet, instead of buying a new kit. Make sure you put a volvoxc.com sticker on...

I had the same symptoms last week and the technician mentioned that a faulty antenna might be the problem. He hasn't gotten back to me on what the problem actually is, but I'd be interested in...

I recently discovered erievovo.com for a plastic center console piece I needed to replace. They helped me out for 50% less what a dealership would cost. We should add their link to this site's...

So with blood coming from the sides of my mouth... I ordered the new plastic console piece from the local dealership ($60). The description was easy, "the piece surrounding the parking brake...

Ouch! Without scouring the salvage yards all over the nation, I've decided to suck it up and order it through the dealership... $60. The car is almost paid for and I didn't want to take full...

Well it's been a while since I've last posted a question, which means things have been going well with my 99 XC. Unfortunately today, I broke a plastic piece off my center console. It's the black...

Thanks for the information!

My 99 XC is reaching it's 75K mile mark and my friendly Volvo dealer has kindly sent me a reminder to schedule its 75K Mile Service. Well, I called to find out what's included in the 75K service and...

I spent a whole weekend online at tirerack.com. I highly recommend this site for research and prices. People actually go into the site and give updates on their tires that they purchased from...

Thanks BillAileo, your directions worked like a charm! The only problem I had was on my first attempt, I didn't release the odometer button "while" the SRL was flashing. I waited until it stopped...

My 99 XC just hit 70K miles and I'm now getting the annoying service light coming on at start up. It eventually turns off soon after driving a couple blocks. I just had the oil and filter changed...
