Anybody have any solutions to a car that starts and runs fine but then goes rough after 5 mins - rough idle, poor throttle response, what seems like "limp home mode" w/o the flashing arrow - and then starts fine an hour later and experiences the same symptoms after 5 minutes? Threw a P0121...

I have the same vehicle and rebuilt the angle gear at 96000 miles. Problem was diagnosed by putting car on a lift with engine running and in drive. Used a mechanics stethoscope and touched wheel bearings, cV driveshafts, trani housing and angle gear housing. It was very apparent the bearings were ba...

On my 2000 V70XC I found the only way to adjust the parking shoes was with a screw driver through the lug nut holes. I didn't see any port on the interior backing plate. As other's posted, both wheels must be off the ground and I took the wheels off the car. The passenger side "star" adjus...

Regarding your cargo net, pull the net out of the wider seat back (right side) and pull on the driver's side of the rod. It will slide out and hook in the fitting above the window. Then pull the net out of the other seat back and you'll see that it hooks onto the exposed portion of the rod.............

Thanks for the response. I'll check both of these items out. I'm probably due for a trans flush so I'll give it a shot this weekend. I've got an Acura Legend with 225k on it and a trans flush made it run like new.

When accelerating from a stop through 50-55 mph my 2000 V70 XC (155k miles) makes a clunking sound and feels like I ran over something in the road. It seems to be coming from the rear end but I'm not positive. I replaced a broken upper engine mount but that didn't fix the problem. Once I pass throug...

Update: The dealers said they couldn't replace the ETM under warranty unless certain codes came up and they got approval from corporate. I bit the bullet and went ahead with the battery cable replacement. $700 later I still had the same problem. The dealer said they would have to clean the ETM next ...

You might want to check your angle gear. It's the unit that connects the front wheel drive with the rear wheel drive shaft. I have a 2000 XC and mine went bad 3 years ago at 96,000 miles. It was just a kind of light grinding hum heard on the highway. Took it to the dealer and they wanted to replace ...

I have a 2000 V70xc with 151.000 miles, Aug.'99 in service date. Seven days ago the car went into limp home mode with the ETS light on. I called my independent Volvo mechanic and he thought it could be the ETM and that I should have it towed to a dealer for the 10/200,000 warranty repair. I have the...
