Re: Rough start/no start after tranny flush & b4 servo

I believe the B4 servo covers were redesigned / corrected / strengthened sometime around 2003-2004. Was your replacement purchased new? Did it look like the one you removed? I'm concluding here (guessing) that replacing the B4 servo cover mightn't've been necessary. At around $20 though, you didn't ...

Re: Ignition Coils, P0171, P0174

People should note this trouble pertains to the 3.2l 6 cyl. engine. It's a 2008 VC-70, no? 1) The location of the IAC valve would be helpful. I know they break on Ford engines so maybe cleaning/changing is in order. 2) Always inspect for split incoming air handling hoses and vacuum leaks (as mention...

I looked to the info on the right and assumed he was speaking of the '08 XC-70.

Re: Considering purchase 2006 V70

Keep looking and feeling about. You want to verify it's there. It's conceivable a prior owner could have stuck it into its hole without latching the spring catch. This'd leave an open hole atop your gearbox. Also, in addition to what was mentioned above, check that the cabin air filter is not solidl...

Re: Considering purchase 2006 V70

Yo, Shappy, FYI: Your '99 had the 4 speed. Any of the basic Dex/Mercs (except for the "up to the mid '90's" VERY old one-which is becoming hard to find) worked in your transmission. I have pictures some where of pumping out my '99's transmission. It's fluid was indeed black but didn't smel...

Re: Change Automatic Tranny Fluid Ya or Nah

Remember, 1) "people posting failures bias" as well as 2) careless do-it-yourselfers using the wrong fluid PLUS 3) people performing fluid refreshments well into their transmissions' sickness and 4) myths formed back in the early days of automatic units where the gunk actually did help sea...

Re: Looking for words of wisdom and advice.

As alluded to above, my 2002 had a transmission with a small hiccough. A TCM reload and LubeGard (red bottle) smoothed it out to an acceptable level. Knowing the ETM, DIM had been redesigned and the seats had been changed back to an earlier, superior design plus the fact that my '02 was nearing 200K...

Re: 2006 XC70 - I can hear something rolling around in the back of the car

Absolutely do the above...new set of ears and relocate yours into the back seat.

Also, can you be dead certain it's "rolling"? It could be a very rattly sway bar link.

Re: 2004 S60 - Jumping another car

With our remotely located batteries you use the terminals under the hood rather than clamping directly onto the battery posts. It's wise to pre-check if your jumper cables' clamps fit into the shrouding of the positive connection AND bite solidly. The available negatives aren't large so it's smart t...
