Nothing? guessing this isn't common at all.

My fathers V70 in the last three days;first sign was transmission thudding into gear for two days , seemed nothing too serious but maybe time for trans service. Then today, 50% of the cars electrical alarm,dash,door locks do not work or lite up. The car will start and run smoothly, but cannot accele...

Thanks Guys. I'll start with the finest Mobil 1 idea and then see if it continues. Far as the thermostat Is there a way to see if its staying open too long? I do have slight temp variation. What type of scan tool are you speaking of here?

Sometimes and becoming more frequent my 4th gear runs a little high 70 MPH= 3000 and after five minutes or so it will gently drop 300+/- or so RPM to normal. This is starting to worry me, is this the beginning of the end?


Its like it has to warm up that 4th gear or something.

This is for an 03 v70 wagon. Correct me if wrong, the best is to buy OEM control arms with bushings, and that does not include the lower ball joint. It would make sense to buy new ball joints as well right? Probably about to go bad as well, but can't see it. The arms are $150.00 each and the ball jo...

I'm not too sure if the car is auto leveling because it says these are not for auto leveling. Any input if this will work? http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/suspension.jsp?make=Koni&model=FSD+Damper+Set&group=FSD+Damper+Set&partNum=2100-4025&autoMake=Volvo&autoModel=V70&auto...

"Are you feeling the bumps or hearing the bumps? " Its definitely ride firmness. No noise and top spring seats don't spin. Its just gotten at worse in the last couple of months. I know its no caddy and it never was, but it was better than this. My whole dash jumps around cause of the bumps...

I did my control arms and tie rods a little less than a year ago, my struts are all 3 years old give or take. The car drives really really firm and hard. Bumps jiggly the hell outta the interior... its a painful ride considering how bumpy my road home is. What should I replace and look into, seats f...
