Hello Everyone,

I have to replace my much loved '04 XC70 and I'm considering an '08 to '15 T6 XC70. Apparently the '00 to '05 T6s were not that reliable (and getting long in the tooth now) but...

Hi,
I am trying to buy some LED replacement bulbs for my 04 XC70 but no local supplier has them so I'll have to go online. Has anyone done this and can you recommend a brand/site etc etc?

I...

Hi All,

I have a tow hitch off an 03 V70 2wd that I would like to put on my 04 XC70. I am however doubtful that it will fit and I'd like to find out before pulling the XC70 apart. Thanks for...

Has anyone tried LED front turn signal bulbs recently? If so could you report back on your experiences. Thanks much.

Best regards,
Jon

Hi;
My 2004 XC70's RF turn signal works sometimes and at other times I get the replace the bulb message and it flashes very quickly. Since the bulb is clearly working I'm inferring that I have a...

Hi All;

Has anyone swapped in a set of factory Xenons into a halogen XC70 ? Thanks.

Hi All;
Well I've found the oil pressure sensor in my T5 XC90. I can see it from below but I can't get my hand on it. I can get my hand on it from above but I can't see it.
Assuming that it's the...

Hi Art,
Thanks for this. It looks like it's right beside the dipstick tube. I'm hoping that the lack of oil pressure is due to dampness or the wire fell of or something.

Hi All;
Anyone know where the oil pressure sensor/sender is on a T5 motor ? I can't find the SOB. Thanks.

Hi All,

I have had my T5 engined XC-90 parked for a week with two of the spark plugs out. I was able to re-install the two plugs today but the engine had a lot of snow on it. The engine started...

Haven't done a Compression Test. I think I will need a screw in type to get into the T5's plug holes.

Does a duff head gasket show up on a compression test ?

Thanks Dave, your answer makes sense to me. I remember reading about an after market water injector kit in the early days of turbo charging cars and one of the secondary benefits was the steam...

Hi Guys;
Thanks for all your help. I think we have eliminated burning oil and too rich a mixture because the colour of the smoke is wrong and the plugs were pristine.

I am leaning towards the...

The oil filler of my T5 has some sort of louvered plate in the opening which covers the opening completely. I'm inferring that the plate is to prevent oil from being thrown out the oil cap by the...

Hi All;

Suddenly, about a week before Christmas, my T5 motor started smoking badly. Huge clouds of smoke are emitted from the tailpipe at startup and while the car is warming up. The smoke is a...
