ok....I have some more information... first the reminder is only stuck on when the key is in the ignition and/or the car is on...driving around with that constant ding...ding...ding will make you kind of crazy (makes pregnant wife VERY crazy) I don't know if this is related, but it seems to be (mayb...

the tensioner for your serpentine belt is just about directly to the left of the alternator, there is a nut right in the center of it, I don't remember what size, 12 or 13 mm I think, put a wrench on it and turn it clockwise as far as it will go to remove the tension (if you can't see the nut, it ma...

so I have a 2000 V70 XC NA, 106,800 miles and the door reminder chime won't go off (without pulling the fuse), I've gone around opening and closing doors...the interior lights go on and off (don't know if reminder and lights are on the same switch) has this ever happened to anyone? hate to take it t...

I purchased my positive cables FCP Groton, and I will tell you the positive cable to the fuse block is a major pain to replace, that maybe why the quote is so high...

So I finally got around to changing my timing belt this weekend on my 2000 V70XC SE with 106k... First, I wanted to send a big thanks out to Made in Japan for the vadis PDF on the procedure...VERY helpful. I also wanted to share a couple of observations...

I think if your car is pre '99 you need a reset tool.
I (also) think ipd sells 'em.

thanks made in japan! I appreciate the pdf (again) so I was reading through the codes and they (almost) all were signal related so I went out to the car to check the fuses....there was a 20amp fuse blown "emissions system" hopefully that was it, and I can figure out what made it pop. I'm a...

ok, I picked up a couple of O2 sensors and installed them yesterday, the car has 105k on it so I figured even in the absence of a code, I would give it a shot as the existing sensors were original and it probably wouldn't hurt to replace them...it went very smoothly, I bought a crows foot wrench and...

cool.
hey thanks for all the help!
