Brake System Svce Required + Cruise Control Gone '07 v70

Greetings,

2007 v70 140K (DSTC) is off and on showing 'Brake System / Brake Assist Svce Required' messages, AND cruise control is suddenly non-functional.

Brakes are good, brake fluid full, braking is normal. No VIDA codes during this period.

Any thoughts, links about this would be valued. Ty!

Need bulb sockets for license plate V70 2007

Greetings,

Anyone have a parts car can sell a couple of license plate bulb sockets for a v70 2007 140K.
Mine are fried.

Just need the sockets and a few inches of the original wire.

Frayed seatbelt replacement? ‘07 V70

Hello,
My ‘07 V70 137k has frayed driver side seatbelt.

Dealer says entire mechanism needs replacement (non-serviceable…). c. $1,000 - $450/parts $550/labor 2 hrs.

Of course I thought I could just replace the belt…

I’d appreciate any perspectives on this.

Ty as always.

Worth watching. Good reminder of the mechanic's mind set, and concern about liability.

Broken coil spring '07 V70 136K

Hey Everyone, The front, driver-side coil spring snapped (while parked). Broken end went straight into tire. I replaced the fronts, and am relieved it did not fail on the highway... I'd value any perspectives on the quality, life-expectancy, etc of coil springs on the V70. Of course I'm thinking of ...

Brake rotors replacement ‘07 V70

Hello All, I’d value thoughts on the question of replacing front brake rotors now, and the rears later. Brakes currently 100% no pulse. But front rotors are noticeably thin. Maybe do nothing till pulsing starts? Maybe replace fronts only? Do some shops insist on all or nothing? Thanks for any though...

Greetings, I've owned three Volvos over 35 years and they've all required regular and often unusual maintenance needs. But each of them has meant a lot to me. Unless money is no issue don't get a Volvo, that is unless you have a good independent mechanic familiar with these cars; and in my experienc...
