i replaced my lock cylinder a while back and it works as expected, but in the process i had unclipped the actuator rods for the latch and the lock. itll be fine for a while until one day the latch actuator will pop out. since there is only one lock on the whole car, i have to break into my own car ...

Now with daylight savings, I am driving my 2002 v70xc in the dark more often. When I turn on the high beams, the indication light comes on, I hear a relay click, but the high beam lights do not come on. This has happened before, but intermittently. If I turned the high beams on and off a bunch of t...

i wouldn't rule anything out, go back over all the plugs the dealer disturbed whilst doing the work. Looks like airbag replacement is incredibly simple. The only plug involved being the direct connection through the steering wheel to the rear of the airbag itself: https://www.pelicanparts.com/techa...

The locking ring should hold it in place, but yes it is suppose to look like the old one. If you couldn't yank off the axle then it should be good. It might be that they got lazy with the proper dimensions. Ok so you cheapened out on the axle. I did as well, and it lasted me under 2 years. I unders...

(It was a very hot day) Once the car cooled down. Shifts normally. Checked the transmission fluid and it was very dark. We performed a fl...

So maybe I have to go to the dealer of find a mechanic with a volvo scanner Its so strange cause If I brake twice fast, the first brake is as I described in the post, but in the second brake the pedal has a lot more of "pressure" and it almost feels like there is no problem in the brakes....

Dear Matthews, I did a front rotor and pad job on my 2007 Volvo XC-70 yesterday and I ran into an issue I have never experienced in prior brake jobs on this car. I was using Akebono pads. Passenger side went fine. But the driver's side outside brake pad would not fit in the caliper. It was very clo...

You have to remove the transmission and separate the bell housing from the rest of the transmission. It is internal to the transmission and not easily serviceable. But I am very puzzled why the Park is not engaging. Yes, Park not engaging is a mechanical link from the shift lever cable to the parki...
