Re: High pitch constant squeal above 20 mph

I had a similar noise, turned out to be a pulley in the timing belt area...caught it just in time.
It was very hard to detect and had me looking all over as it "projected" the sound
Would only happen around 20 miles an hour and went away after it would warm up....
something to consider...

ETM was replaced a few years back under warranty (Yellow Sticker)

Anyone know how long an MAF sensor can last? Just curious.....

Re: 99 V70xc Hard Start...suddenly quick

Gave it a quick cleaning to see if it made a difference....and it did somewhat, leading me to order a replacement.
I have to say i am liking the new feel...very responsive; very touchy pedal...puts your head back in the seat and has a strong power band 1600-3000 rpms....

Re: 99 V70XC Left Axle Question

Thumping 99V70XC Driving me nuts

I am chasing a thumping from up front...I replaced the Rotors, Calipers, etc...and that solved the issue a few months back. It occurs mostly under acceleration and when it does occur, if you hit the brakes the front wheel shakes violently. I had the car on the lift yesterday and everything up front ...
