Re: Insane transmission theory

I used a rebuilt valve body from the internet. From memory, and I actually did talk with the guy because I initially got the wrong code number type and he swapped it quickly and efficiently he alluded to having a tech guy who does the rebuilds. I think it was somewhat a legit rebuild rather than a u...

Insane transmission theory

Quick background, I have a 2001 V70XC. It had the well documented transmission issue which was vastly improved by putting in a reconditioned valve body about a year ago ( actually can't really remember). I never got it it properly reset and re adapted with the VIDA as no one really wanted to help (l...

Intermittent no power windows, when they don't work the master switch doesn't operate any windows, the passenger side switch also doesn't work. The s...

Re: 2000-2008 AW55-50SN Valvebody re-assembly

So I just got through with this and would like to add a few thoughts. I put in a whole reconditioned valve body from worldwidespecialityparts.com. We / I decided to buy a "B" code for my 2001 xc70, turned out wrong and we swapped it for the "A". At all times the gentleman Matthew...

Valvoline Import Multi Vehicle ATF

The back of the bottle among lots of other specs states that it's recommended for Toyota T-1V Mazda JWS 3309 Volvo 97340, 97341, 1161521. Does that make it suitable for my 01 V70 XC ? I just topped up a little that I lost looking at my B4 servo cover. I'm probably about to drain 4l or so to put in a...

Re: 2001 2002 AW55 transmission, history, stop/start software

I think I'm about to go down this road and replace my valve body. It's going to have to be a DIY, I'm not going to throw $$$$ at a 2001 car. That said, it's clean and only has 102k miles, having read a lot about this I think my symptoms are typical but not yet severe. I don't think I'm leaving too l...

Re: DIY: Oil Pan/Sump O-Ring Replacement 2000 XC

So I just got done, thanks to the op for the excellent write up. My 2001 xc is simpler. Didn't even see the power steering lines in this one and I didn't have to mess with the engine mount. It only took a few seconds of wiggling to get it out. My o -rings looked fine and my pick up filter wasn't rea...

Re: DIY: Oil Pan/Sump O-Ring Replacement 2000 XC

Resurrecting an old thread here, I'm getting ready to do this on an 01 xc. Why it is required to use ramps not a floor jack to put jackstands under the door rails ?

Tks
