Update

Got the front speakers working. apparently there are some speaker wires on the connector that has all of the power/ accessory and ground wires on it that have to loop onto the other connector with the Front-Left, Front-Right, Back-Left, and Back-right wires in it. Still need help with the radio rece...

Hooking up new Stereo

Hello I am hooking up a new Pioneer Stereo in my 1999 v70. Without a wiring harness, I had to cut the wires. I have power to the stereo. The two problems I have are the radio isn't picking up and i cant get sound to come from any of the front dash or door speakers. The rear door speakers work. This ...

idle fluctuates

Hi, I have a 99 v70 with 143,000 miles and here in the past week or so the engine speed fluctuates from normal idle down to about 100 rpm less than normal when idling in gear. it's a constant up and down fluctuation on the rpm gage about a second or so between. It does not do this if it's park or ne...

Re: v70 1999 / Fix or Trade-in?

I remember on some of my older cars i could loosen the distributer and turn it a little to adjust the timing (I think that's what it was doing). How do you do that on cars with coil-packs?

and what's your opinion on this?

Re: v70 1999 / Fix or Trade-in?

I bought this car w/ 119 on it two years ago. I didn't even think about the timing belt untill i started reading these forums. On any other car I've ever owned, you squeeze all you can out of the belt until it breaks. (In this case I can't do that) I was quoted $300 from one place and they provide t...

Re: v70 1999 / Fix or Trade-in?

I plan on buying that timing kit today. Belts are like anything else I suppose. Sometimes you win & sometimes you lose. You guys think I should go ahead and buy the waterpump too? I just changed the transmission fluid yesterday. It was pretty black. It shifts soooo much smoother now. I've seen w...

Re: ETM past warranty is there anything I can do?

What do you guys think about sending my ETM to Don Wilson to have it rebuilt? Do you know anyone else that has done this? My thinking is kinda like JRL's too. Volvo wants $100 just to hook it up to the machine. That's not counting lost work, gas, etc. The nearest Volvo dealer is 40 miles away. I fig...
