Yes and yes.

Our black 07 XC70 is currently (still) laid up until I pull the top apart, but all indications are that the little piece got pulled in to #3 and is bouncing around on top.

My 257k 2007 xc70 suffered a uniquely stupid form of engine failure last week. TL;DR injector failure caused misfires, a smoking tailpipe, a flooded cylinder, and compression failure in three cylinders. Backstory Fuel economy suddenly dropping in the last month (down to sub 14mpg in city driving fro...

Hi everyone, Thought I'd add a little tutorial for the P2 vehicles. For anyone who doesn't know me I'm an autoelectrician. I don't just play with wires like most, I dive deep into the inner workings of the flash files too for a better understanding. I work on Volvo's quite a bit along with other man...

Onto the side of the AC compressor. If you look at your 2nd picture, and look straight down from the connector you can see a little shiny metal pin that looks like it is at the side of the lower part of the alternator.

I was having similar issues on my '06 and opted to buy a clean, used ETA from the local wrecker for $25. Before mounting it on the car I took the plastic cover off of the side to confirm it had no oil intrusion and that the plastic gear teeth were still intact. That solved my issue.

Grabbed the parts from a forum member. The fender was willow green, so I had a body shop repaint (GLS Autobody in Rockville does good work!). Cleaned up the new-to-me-but-super-yellowed-used headlight, and slapped it all together a couple weeks ago. After an alignment/re-balance, and buying some cli...

Mechanically these Haldex'es are very sturdy, they easily outlive the rest of the car. I've heard maybe about a couple of Haldex'es with clutches FUBAR. Pull the connector out of DEM (Haldex computer), clear the codes and see if problems go away. My DEM had a contact pad on a very small (sub 1 mm) r...

This is typical failure. If you plan to keep this vehicle a long time, consider replacing the entire fuel pump while you have it open. Then you have no fuel pump worries for a long, long time.

My oil filter looked like the two pictures from the original poster after 6,150 miles from the prior oil change on my 2007 S60 2.5T with 264,000 miles. I had a low oil pressure warning on a particularly cold day of 5*F in Michigan. The exhaust VVT solenoid also threw a code. I drained the oil and f...

Have two P2 XCs (2002 and 2007) and as both are well into the hundreds of thousands of miles, have had to replace 2x door latch mechanisms and 2x tailgate latches due to weak actuation. For the very first one, I spent about $60 to get one on eBay, but after that I got over my laziness and went to th...
