Catalytic Converter

Good morning. The check engine light came on recently in my 2001 V70 2.4T and the code corresponds to my catalytic converter "operating below acceptable levels." The shop is going to run an exhaust gas test ($89) to determine if it is the converter or an error in the computer. If is is the...

Re: Timing Belt Service

When I said 'good morning', I was telling you everything I know about changing timing belts! In addition to parts, I'd also need a tow truck and a big bag of speedy dry to sop up all the coolant on the ground. I AM thinking about buying the OEM parts myself if the garage is OK with it. That way, I'm...

Timing Belt Service

Good morning. I'm coming up on the 105K service interval for my 2001 V70 2.4T and am getting pricing from a few garages. One is including/reccommending a water pump replacement and coolant flush & fill with the service (I'm guessing its easier to get at when the timing belt is being replaced), b...

...my 2001 V70 (Turbo!) blew the doors off a new Audi TT.

Re: 2001 V70 Rear View Mirror

Thank you for your comments.

Though the mirror clearly has the auto-dim sensors, it DOES also have the angle flip lever.

Not too worried about it.

2001 V70 Rear View Mirror

Good morning. I have what I assume is an auto-dimming rear view mirror in my V70 (it has the sensors), but it does not auto-dim. I checked the manual for fuse placement, but it doesn't seem to have one assigned to it. I won't be terribly disappointed if it never works, but if its a quick/easy fix, I...

2001 V70 90K Service

Good afternoon.

I just received a reminder from The Volvo dealership suggesting that we get the 90K service soon. Can anyone tell me what this typically involves and how much (ballpark) I can expect to pay?

Thanks.

Awesome! I just ordered the kit from IPD.

I was able to retrieve the fuel door from the carwash bay before the next guy ran it over and it seems fine. The fix looks fairly simple (knock wood), so I'm less stressed about cost.

Thanks very much for your help.

2001 V70 - Gas Door

Good morning. My gas door blew off in the carwash last night, and (of course) the gas station claims no responsibility. I was not able to re-attach it and suspect part of the plastic piece holding the door on may have been broken off as well. My short-term fix is packing tape, which looks REALLY tac...

Good morning.

I'm looking for:
