Hmmm.... I have the cheapy V70 with cloth seats. It is winter, in southern California. It is a bit dry right now... but I have not noted if it occurs when wet or dry outside. I'll have to pay attention to that. I'll try the "keep constant contact on metal" trick. Will that simply discharge...

'99 V70 Just wondering is others have the same problem. Whenever I get out of my V70, I get a nice shock when I close the door. It is because I'm standing on the ground outside and I touch the door handle. It doesn't happen when I enter the car. So it must be caused by a build up of static electrici...

Thanks. I wonder if I called that NJ dealer if they would mail me a key if I gave them my VIN?

If not them, then I wonder if there is any mail/web based service that will do it?

I'm headed over to my mom's in Tucson tomorrow. So when I get over there I'll check in at a Tucson dealer to see what they want for a key. Any recommendations for a dealer over on the north side of town (Oro Valley area)?

Hughes automotive in Santa Barbara. They seem to have a bad reputation in this neck of the woods. I've yet to meet a Volvo owner who is happy with them. Every owner I've met here has told to me avoid them whenever possible.

Now I know why.

So that means I HAVE to have the dealer cut me a new key. No way around that? Cheaper alternatives?

I bought a used 1999 V70. It came with only one key. No remote system. I'm not even sure if the car supports a wireless remote. Anyhow, I stopped at the Volvo dealer today to see if they could cut me another key incase I loose this one. He said that they have to special order it for $100, and then c...

I drove the V70 from Santa Barbara to Tucson yesterday. 8 hours, and no squeak.

However, there is some creaking from the dash on roads that are bad. I suspect the creaking has been there all along.

I wonder if I should glue the bolts down?

Greetings all. My Volvo mechanic gave me an easy solution to my squeaky dashboard problem. I just did it (took about 1 hour), and it seems to have solved the problem. I'll post an update next week to see how long term this is. This is for a 1999 Volvo V70. I think it should work for other models too...

Awesome! Thanks! Where do you get that graphic? Can I get to it too?
