I'll ask my mechanic about that. He is a Volvo specialist so I have to rely on him. I am absolutely not a mechanic. There is a transmission shop in town but he said he will not work on Volvo's. Too bad because I love my C70 but it is scary to see so many transmission problems on this site on just ab...

I have the typical C70 tranny problem (OK when cold but acts up badly when hot. I bought the cat 4 years ago and have been living with it since. The fluid was black and burned and overfilled by about a quart. My mechanic did a flush which seemed to help for about a month. He checked the fluid again ...

I can tell you are a lot like me. You want the car and you will buy it. Overall GOOD CHOICE. I love my 2002. The steering noise is no big deal a little grease on the steering pads every couple thousand miles works.. It took me 3 years but I found a great mechanic who gave my car a clean bill of heal...

I've owned a 2002 C70 Convertible for 3 years. Currently has 83,000 miles. Love the car but my first bit of advice is to locate an experienced Volvo mechanic. Trust me they are hard to find unless you want to go to a dealer. I have two problems. First, if I shut down immediately upon parking I can't...

A few years back my wife had a Volvo XC. The transmission was acting up and her Volvo mechanic , not a Volvo dealer, told her she should take it to the Volvo dealership in Albany and have them do a computer update. She had it done and her transmission was fine after that. My 2002 C70 transmission ac...

Some people drive me nuts. Just noticed someone took the V off my trunk emblem. It now reads OLVO. I know they took it because they put two good scratches over where the V was. At any rate, I'm thinking of removing the whole thing. Looks like the letters are applied with a heavy black adhesive. You ...

Sorry. Bad choice of words. I know flushing is deadly. My mechanic did a drain and refill 3 times . Also, for what it's worth the car only has 74,000 miles. came up from Florida.

This is probably the worst post I've ever done. It really sounds crazy. Let me just ask does the Volvo (2002 C70) transmission tend to go crazy every once in awhile ? A lot of times it's like it doesn't know what gear to go into. Let's say I stop at a toll booth after driving at high speeds. When I ...

I drove over a really bad stretch of winter beaten road. Everything was shaking. All of a sudden it felt like the car was not in gear but it was still driving. Stepping on the gas did no good. I was going up a hill so I know the car was in gear. Then I heard a clunk like maybe it changed gears and t...

Where is the fuel check valve located in the 2002 C70? Is it part of the fuel pump? Is it inside the fuel tank? Lot of posts regarding installing an inline checkvalve which I really don't want to do. Right or wrong I'm a believer that if the manufacturer wanted that way he would have built it that w...
