In watching various videos including FCP, positioning the cams looks easy enough. What I'm confused about is the adjustment of the belt tensioner when reinstalling it. Can anyone elaborate on this...

I replaced rear and front suspension on my 04. I got the rear from FCP and and fronts from IPD only bc they have loaded/quick struts. The rears were a bugger but got it done.

Hello. 04 XC70 165k. Having coolant leak. Appears to be right below water pump. Good guess thats what it is. I might remove the TB cover just to make sure. I imagine there would be coolant trickling...

04 XC70. Shift lever question. I noticed that my shift lever easily moves to the manual side now. I don't think it was that way before. Any thoughts on this?

Is it ok to use 5w-20 or 30 on Volvos instead of 0w-20 or 40 as articles I've read?

Just wondering if anyone has ever flushed their transmission fluid? If so, can you share how you did it and what the results were?

This fella did it....

2004 XC70 ~ 155k

Just started noticing this week. At higher speeds and when it shifts down there's a bit of jerking like maybe its going from 4 to 3 to 4. And tonight, as I was very slowly backing...

Has anyone ever flushed their coolant? Thinking about doing it on my 04. 155k. Thought maybe it would make the heat stronger. By flushing i mean using a flush solution like prestone to descale the...

I went ahead and ordered the Behr/Mahle parts from FCP yesterday both motor and resistor. I also ordered a swivel adapter for the torx bit since I think one of the screws is hard to get to. Saw it in...

Hello. I parked the car for 6 weeks (Sept 12 to Oct 27) on my driveway as I had to be away. Came back last night and car started just fine this morning but noticed blower was not turning on. Fuse #26...

So I worked on the passenger side rear today. Got everything unbolted including the bolt on the lower end of the shock. I noticed that the shock rests on a shaft that is connected to the trailing...

Is there a way to test or simulate the alarm siren so it sounds off? I just want to check that the replacement siren I got works.

Here's what I did:

Roll down the windows. Lock the car. Wait...

Thanks. I checked the FCP website for vacuum lines but could not get a hit. It must be called something else. I'll check IPD.

Thanks for the response. I have no reason to open up the manifold right now but I will keep your suggestion in mind. Btw, where do you buy the tubing in bulk?

I realize this is an old thread but I researched the P0497 code I got yesterday on the CEL. All the hits on google pointed to the Evap Vapor Canister Purge Valve. I was ready to order it from FCP....

I hate scissor jacks and avoid using if I can help it. They are not stable. I too have floor jacks in my garage. Plus I supplement with jack stands especially if I think the work will take long.

I would check the owners manual. The instructions for jacking is there. I have a Curt hitch too but I would not attempt that.

The rear hatch door handle or opener on my XC70 takes more effort now to open. Sometimes I have to lock and unlock so the mechanism takes. Has anyone opened up the panel to see if this can be...

Hello All!! Shopping for a cargo liner. For those who have done it do you have any recommendations? I've seen the dealer/FCP one for $159+/-. I'm sure it'll work but I also see a few on Amazon that...

Lol!! Sorry about that. The wiper stops usually at "full open" position. If I nudge it it goes back. Someone suggested to tighten the nut which I did. It kinda worked after that. Then it did it again...

Can someone tell me what the signs are that the rear wiper motor may be going bad? Thanks

Am keeping an eye for this model (2008- ?). I have an 04 now. Just wanted some feedback on this model compared to the 04-07 model. Thanks.

I noticed the the rear wiper occasionally gets stuck in the "open" position and I have to nudge to get unstuck. Before I start opening it up has anyone seen this and what might the problem be?
