P3 XC70 Body Repair Measurements

I am doing an accident repair on a 2012 XC70 and the frame rails are bent a bit.

Does anyone know of a body repair manual for these cars that have the alignment measurements?

XC70 P3 Sending Unit Fuel Pump Access

So, I have two P3 XC70's with sending unit issues. One of them has a dead fuel pump and the second has a faulty check valve that results in hard starts if the car has been sitting for more than a couple of days. I am not opposed to the service procedure of dropping the exhaust, drive shaft and tank....

Parking Brake Error Light and DIM-U014000 CEM-U012800

I had an issue with a 2008 V70 today. The Parking Brake Failure warning came on the dash display. Both tires are turning freely, so they are not stuck on. However, typical of North America, they are never used anyway, so the owner does not care. They just want the light out. When I ran the codes, I ...

Creaking, Groaning and Moaning From Front Struts

I have had a moaning and groaning issue from the front struts on my 2008 XC70 for a while now. From what I had read, this can be caused by the strut mounts. So, while I was taking the struts out to do the mounts, I figured that I may as well do the ball joints, tie rods and sway links. Needless to s...

Re: Rad Hoses Blowing Apart

Turns out that the thermostat broke apart and all of the pieces were causing a blockage. Replaced the thermostat and it is good as new again.

Power Steering Issue

I have a 2009 XC70 3.2. It has no power steering. The aux belt is still in place and the pump is spinning. The reservoir is full. But there is nothing at all for any power assist. Any ideas? Could it be the rack?

Rad Hoses Blowing Apart

Just wondering if anyone has any input on this. It happened on my 2008 XC70 3.2. My upper rad hose blew apart a couple of weeks ago. So, I replaced it with another one that I had. It lasted a couple of days, before it split. I replaced it again and it split again. So now, I know that its an over pre...
