Re: 4 little red lights in tail light assembly-left side out

hmmm. I only see two bulbs holders (the light grey extended socket with the long tab to twist them in and out of the lens with) to access bulbs from the lower tail light assembly access panel. It seems like these for little red lights (or reflectors) are well below and to the side from the lowest li...

4 little red lights in tail light assembly-left side out?

There are 4 small red lights in a vertical row at the bottom of the reartail light lens on my '05 XC70. The set on the left side are out. Anyone know how to access these lights and the part# to replace them? They appear to be LED's.

'05 XC70: After replacing my lower control arm on the passenger side the drive shaft seems to be stuck extended too far out from the joint within the inner boot.

Re: Radio removal

'03-.05 XC70's - Recommendations and insight?

I am in the market to upgrade my ’99 XC70 to something in the era of ’03-’05 XC70. Any common problems to look for in those years? Any recommendation on specific years being better or worse in terms of reliability? Thinking back to the life of my ’99…ECU, ABS controller, VVT Solenoid, PCV system all...

Re: '99 XC 70 - Gas mileage loss

Plugs have about 15K on them. Could try that just to be sure and and replace them. What do folks recommend (or recommend avoiding) for plugs? Don't mind paying a bit more for better performance and/or longer lasting. What is the torque spec for the plugs on these cars? Had another thought: Any chanc...
