Hi Guys
Just bought my pregnant wife a nice safe "reliable" car being the xc70. 2 days later the transmission failed. The car sounds like its going into gear, display shows it does, car sort of clunks but when you rev nothing happens. When the problem initially happened we were able to drive it about 50 - 60ft out of the traffic onto the side of the road albeit very slow.
Sometimes if you start the car and select drive it will drive just a little (few feet) bit but then stop, its almost like something is slipping. I have tried fluid replacement, but not flush. Plugged in a universal car code reader and am getting a P1618 code and P0740 code.
I knew the history of the transmission of these cars and factored that in when buying it. I bought a new transmission from a wreckers online but they have sent the wrong one and will not take it back so I am stuck with it. I have a 55-50sn but they have sent a 55-51sn.
Now I have no money left at all after buying this and the transmission. Do you think there is anything I could do between both transmissions to get a running car?
I should mention that I am in in Northern Australia with NO Volvo mechanics around
Thanks guys
