Re: Can I use 16 inch summer wheels/tires when the door frame sticker says 17 inch?

Two potential problems: 1. The 16 inch wheels may not clear the brakes on the 17 inch wheel car. 2. The 16 inch tires may be shorter and change your indicated speed. Not much of a problem as long as you know the speedometer is off. Maybe third problem is the 16 inch tires are taller and the tires ru...

Re: Can I use 16 inch summer wheels/tires when the door frame sticker says 17 inch?

We’ve got a 17 and a 16 inch XC70 and I’m pretty sure they have the same brakes. So if the 16s fit in the wheel well which they almost certainly will, then the only issue is the speedometer error. Check out a tire size comparison website and you will see that the speedometer difference for 215-60-17...

Re: Can I use 16 inch summer wheels/tires when the door frame sticker says 17 inch?

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.

Re: 2007 XC70. Which rack & pinion fits?

You need to physically put eyes on yours. 1) Look for push in/threaded connection as you said for the pressure/return lines for the pump. 2) Check the actual brand tag on the rack. Verify it's a ZF or SMI. 3) Verify if you have a solenoid with an electrical connection, this would indicate electrical...

Re: 2007 XC70 loses almost all power while in Cruise control...

Check your throttle body. Similar symptoms on my Bosch MY04 when it died.

Sweep test in VIDA, pos2 startup sequence, and of course clean it.

Re: Stuck Rear seat seatbelts on 2007 XC70. Fixable?

The plastic covers come off the top of the back seat but it is very easy to crack and damage these covers. Once the end covers have been removed, you will be able to see the seat belt spools and blow them clean with compressed air. I tried to find instructions and pictures in Vida/Dice and found not...

Were you driving or sitting idling when it over heated, I drove mine without ...

Re: How do I test the rad fan on my 2007 XC 70?

I sprayed the plug with liquid wrench and grabbed it with 10 inch channel lock pliers. Mine has red and black 12v constant feed , the smaller wire is the signal, don't put high voltage into the signal wire or the ecm will be toast. Signal wire to engine ground is under 5v, but mine showed zero v, I ...

Re: Could the non-functional AWD be an easy fix on a 2007 XC70?

If the tone rings are really bad the car loses wheel speed information and lots of things get disabled.
