Re: Strange door locking response

I am stumped by a strange door locking response on 2001 V70. I recently had the drivers door card off to fix the detached outside opening handle rod. I disconnected all of the electrical connections during this process. I tried to get the two push/pull rods back in the clips at the same length. Eve...

Re: Strange door locking response

don't start adjusting anything before trying a disconnect and soft reboot of the computer.

Disconnect battery for a while to let it bleed off surface v.
Put the key in position II, reconnect the battery.

Thank you! it looks like one of the balljoint bolts snapped , and the other isn't far behind. I went through that last summer, welded a nut to the broken remnant to ...

Re: 2004 XC70 Low Coolant, Radiator Replaced

If the new good cap will not help, you have a blown gasket or a crack in cylinder. I sure hope it's not that :0 But, I think it was just an air bubble in the system. I didn't flush the cooling system after installing the radiator. Whenever I do cooling system work, I'll get the low coolant warning ...

Re: 2004 V70 2.4 Sudden pull to right after hitting bumps

strongly suggest installing a new axle bolt to spec, mine departed after reusing it. Pry bar with a short length of chain over the control arm is an easy way to pull it down. Loosen the control arm bolts to allow more freedom of movement. or get this $15 OTC tool. https://youtube.com/shorts/Yz0K8BX2...
