About 4 months ago I had a local shop replace front struts. They left it with an ABS sensor failure on right front. ABS failure light came on every start up. They said they did all they could and it must be in the hub itself. Doubtful. I thought maybe they replaced the abs sensor with the wrong one ...

When my 2000 C70 lost the timing belt, I bought a 2004 C70 and turned the older one into a parts car. Same deal as you, I was planning on doing it when the weather got warmer the following month. Ugh!

I found on my 2000 C70 that if I bought a belt from Advance Auto, the one they called out for my engine was ALWAYS a couple of mm too short to get on the car. Happened twice. Both times I solved the problem by going to a NAPA store and buying their belt, which is a little longer. I don't have the di...

This sounds to me like a classic case of clutch wear, needing the famous "bread clip" or "zip tie" fix. I have done this repair 3 times for exactly the kind of symptoms you discuss. The clutch plate wears, so when it engages, the spring is pulled harder. The electromagnet gets ho...

PCV will blow oil through the seals. I tried to clear mine myself with limited success (glove expanded more slowly). Had it done by my favorite shop but did not have them do the seals. Oil usage has almost disappeared on 210,000 mile engine. So if you can do the PCV, the seals just might not need to...

Following up now that it's been fixed for a while. Two months after putting the "closeout" drive shaft in, it failed again (on my wife, of course). I ordered yet another from Rock Auto (no warranty on closeout stuff, but $400 was still much cheaper than $1000 from Volvo. Can you say "...

Did the Bread Clips on my old 2000 C70 in 2006. Lasted the rest of its life to 2014. Last weekend did the zip tie fix on the 2003 XC70 because it had intermittent failure. Working perfectly to date and I don't have to worry about them falling out. My wife thinks I invented this! Ha Ha! Thanks guys.

Car is running fine. I put a new clamp on the intercooler line, no more problems. No overboost, as we figured. Turbo is still a little "whiney" but no more than it was before. Now that I have the PCV system cleaned up, it's time to get the camshaft seals replaced.

Thanks. I will post what I find out tomorrow.

Thanks John. I am picking it up on Friday when I get back home. I think I have a gauge to test the boost, so I'll try to do that this weekend. Where do you connect it to the manifold? I can't believe I am suddenly getting overboost, but it's worth looking at. I will install a new clamp before I driv...
