Re: Wheels - P2 V70 vs P2 V70R

I had 17 inch rims on a non Vinci car that I used to own. Used to get dude bubbles when I got potholes. I got fed up and bought 15 inch steelies with toes and tpms on them from another model. No bubbles from potholes after that, 15 inch tires are also cheaper to buy and install. Best purchase I ever ...

Re: 2007 V70 2.5t Transmission Fluid Level

Update:

Today I used a fluid vacuum extractor to remove the overfilled fluid. I removed between half and 3/4 of a liter while the car was up to temp and while it was still running. I checked the dip stick a few times to make sure that I was not over the hot mark.

The transmission now at the ...

Re: 2007 V70 2.5t Transmission Fluid Level

I didn't capture the old fluid, I did this at an auto hobby place with a lift and the old fluid just dumped into their container.

I will definitely check it and try to take out the extra with a vacuum extractor.

I used Mobil 3309 fluid and Lubegard red.

Re: 2007 V70 2.5t Transmission Fluid Level

From what you're saying, it sounds like I should be half a quart too much. The Lubegard 10oz bottle is equal to 0.3125 quarts and I added 3.5 quarts of fluid. Total full for me is 3.8125 quarts.

Re: 2007 V70 2.5t Transmission Fluid Level

Overfilled by how much though?

What's the capacity of a drain and fill?

All I can find online is that it's around 3.5 liters, which is 3.7 quarts.

3.8125 quarts is overfilled but by not that much. If looked overfilled when the original fluid was in it too.

2007 V70 2.5t Transmission Fluid Level

Hi everyone,

I recently changed the transmission fluid on my 2007 V70 2.5t. I used the drain and fill method (three times). My vehicle has a little over 100k miles.

The fluid that came out was pretty brown and I believe that it is the original factory fill.
The fluid level was above the hot full ...

Re: Help with Vida Diag codes - Brake Failure Warning - Comm issues

I have a 2007 V70 and I wanted to share my experience and what ended up fixing the problem.

My car was parked for 5 months while I was away on a business trip.

When I came back, the battery was obviously weak. I jumped it to start the car, drove it home, took out the battery and charged it at home ...

Re: Rusted Flange Screws 2007 V70 2.5t

Just wanted to follow up.
I pulled one of each bolt as recommended and all three were slightly different lengths.

IMG_20190608_174535.jpg

I believe that the rusted bolts were M6 x 10mm, the black flange bolt with the 8.8 on it is M6 x 16mm like in the parts page posted by the other commenter ...

Re: Rusted Flange Screws 2007 V70 2.5t

Everyone, thank you very much for your help.

prwood, thank you very much for the parts diagram. That is exactly what i was looking for.

The parts diagram is interesting since it appears to suggest that all those top screws should be the same. I'll have to take a look at the two black crews and a ...
