I saw another xc70 from 07 go through this exact behaviour. The owner had to sell the car but he had a terrible idle with an otherwise well running car. He did plugs, coils, new maf, new air filter, throttle body cleaning, and we reset the adaptation. He originally had a bad VVT solenoid but i dont ...

Free the coolant reservoir from the mounting area and tilt it such that the small pipe is fully covered in liquid. This pipe connects down to the thermostat area which will allow any air to flow back into the reservoir.Watch it with the engine on and hot and see if you see a consistent stream of sma...

Mount one tire on the XC70 and if it clears the calipers then you are good. I run 15's on my S60 with no issues. The car lists 16 inch as the required. No real issues with rubbing on standard 195 sized tires.

Forgot to capture them in my excitement but i was wondering if that was what happened. The engine has always been pretty clean compared to others I have seen. Under microscope it looked like carbon deposits exclusively so no copper or bearing materials. It was maybe 10% full and there was a good amo...

Started prepping the trusty s60 for sale. Need to do an oil change, rear rotors and pads, and detail it. Put a fair amount of money into the car but it has been good to me for the past two years of ownership. Car has been great to me, but i've inherited a 12' pilot fully loaded. That needs a bit of ...

For the c30 could it be an intake vacuum leak/torn connection between the maf to the throttle. My na s70 did this when the tube broke down. Ran great cold and sputtered/faltered when hot.

My son hit a deer with the 2004 Volvo xc70 tonight. Hit was passenger front side. Airbag did not go off. He was able to drive home. R Headlight, fender, bumper, grille and hood will need to be replaced, not sure about the rest. Assuming the frame isn't bent, are there any gotchas with installing ju...

Engine is cranking but cranking is weak. Not enough power to start the engine. I would say that battery is almost flat since odometer & trip readout is blank(------). '99 & '00 needs a healthy battery voltage to start and run since they have DIS(distributorless) system. 11.9v is flat batter...

Grabbed a starter and a power steering unit from a pic n save. Will swap them into my car for certainty on condition. Came from a low km car with beautifully clean power steering fluid.

Cold start only issue? Is it an issue after the engine has run a while and then been left off? I used to have this on a p80 v70 on one cylinder due to a slightly breached head gasket. Random misfires are interesting (assuming you mean to all cylinders) as it would likely point to a fuel pressure iss...
