Depending on the level oxidation, you may need to do micro-sanding then buffing .... my lenses were recently professionally buffed ... but the upper edge horizontal portion of bothlenses, probably not really affecting light transmission, were quite pitted as if something was dripping off the edges o...

Anyone out there upgraded their current std halogen bulbs in their Volvo? Some time ago, I did some googling to see if there were options, but nothing seemed available other than the Silverstar line. The originals are still in (2005) and they appear to be loosing their brightness .... might be my ag...

Since my original reply, we have drifted further south, Punta Gorda, Fl. As retirement now rules. :D With significant rains here during the summer months, these DWS continue to be superb tires, especially now in the rain. They were spectacular in the snow last year and now I am fully pleased with th...

Thanks for the replies ... I'm feeling better in this regard... :>))

Hi All .... I have a 2005 V70 Turbo .... 82,000 miles. Original owner. Body and interior are near showroom condition. Have been agonizing as to when to do the timing chain/water pump/plugs/ etc. change. The immediate concern for me is just these past many weeks, when I back the V out of our carport ...

My wife has a 2005 V70 that we bought new in May '05. I have been getting nervous about the original battery. It appears to be strong and has not given us any issues. I think there are 2 sizes and the Group 49 is larger with higher cranking power. We are moving to Punta Gorda, Fl quite soon for the ...

I agree these Conti's DWS area a fine tire. I have them on my work Corolla S and just recently put them on my wife's '05 V70. Buying them from Discount Tire Direct you will save money over the Tire Rack. They are rated at 50,000 miles, but getting 40,000 is a good return. Here in the base of the Smo...

With just over 70K miles on my wifes 2005 V70, I was going to have my local Toyota Dealer do the transmission fluid change. This dealer has outsanding service and has done great work on my 2 Toyota's. But I was curious about the cost versus the Volvo dealer's cost. So I just made a call to our Knoxv...

Thank you all for your reply's and comments. As to the radio reset comment, I had read that in my manual and called the local Knoxville Volvo service and they assured me that was not necessary for the 2005 V70. This was in regard to a security code that would be needed if the radio was stolen, etc. ...

HI All .... my wife has a 2005 V70 bought new in May 2005. We live in East Tennessee and was wondering about life span of the original factory battery and what experience you may have on longivity. I suspect I am approaching that grey zone of it's life span. Also, are there any specific brand of bat...
