Who has ever had the steering assist solenoid or wiring to the steering assist solenoid fail?,…and if it did…what happened? “. That would reveal what the “stasis” position of the solenoid is and solve my question. If it’s just “there” and not working or hooked up to anything,…what does it do to the ...

All good points. But I am not too worried about labor time because I’m retired, and I have other means of transport. I am more intrigued by the challenge. Yea, I know,…corny. But I’ll get this sorted out in the end. Another way to ask the same question might be:,…”Who has ever had the steering assis...

No opinions? Nada? Curious what some of yall might think,….No worries about being conclusive,…just casting for opinions. Either way,…I’m giving it a go. And I will report back so others may know what’s possible. AND,…come to think of it,…if someone has a non speed assist rack from a 2007 v70 and it’...

2007 V70 gasoline. I was sent a very nice rack from a low mileage same year car but it has the speed sensitive solenoid. My question is does anyone know how the solenoid functions. The assumption is that the solenoid activates a bypass at higher speeds to bleed off assist pressure to give more road ...

resurrecting an old thread here. My problem is the exact opposite….my car is non assisted steering and I was sent a speed sensitive assist rack,…with the solenoid. The rack is in great shape, and came off a car with 100K miles so it’s hard not to use it. I can’t see where it would be a problem to in...

Also any light someone could shed on any other interchanges.
I’ve heard the C70 is a direct interchange in the same year(s)

Also,….does it make any difference with the racks if a donor car is a diesel and mine is gasoline?

I need to fix the steering rack in my ‘07 V70 It is leaking like a sieve. I am a competent mechanic (A&P licensed) so the work is no problem. What I am having a hard time doing is finding the right seal kit for this rack. Rather than make a mistake I thought I’d ask here if anyone has a direct l...

AHA !!! I figured it out. Did some sleuthing here on this site and also online and It seems that the little fan runs all the time when the car is “awake”,…meaning, as soon as you open a door it comes on. I experimented by downing a window and leaving it for a half hour. Came back and stuck my head i...

I guess what I mean, is that when I call for full cold, both go to their stops in that direction. Calling for full heat, they go tot he full stop in that direction. I’m going to have to fiddle around with the VIDA computer a bit to find out where the “reprogramming” and/or “recalibrating” links are....

I’ve already verified visually that the blend doors are working. I got up under there and actually watched both of them as they moved from full stop in one position to the opposite stop in the other. I had read about the possibility of broken door arms, and/or motors going out. Those both are workin...
