Was the stop/neutral ever removed as it was supposed to be, years ago with updated software? I cannot find mention of it being removed in any of our service records. However, we are not the originial owners; it was a lease program car that we bought from a Volvo dealer with about 30k miles on it. T...

Fluid is @ correct level when hot. Fluid was changed @100k miles.

My wife is the daily driver of our base 2002 V70 w/ 5 speed automatic. She has mentioned a couple of times that when she steps on the gas, the engine revs but the car doesn't move. I finally experienced it the other day. Came to a stop for about a minute, foot on brake whole time, then stepped on ga...

Yes, the PCV system was serviced @ same time the timing belt was last chagned @ 105K miles.

Had to have a bad ignition coil (#3) replaced expensively in the 2002 V70 2.4L base engine. Since the remaining coils are original w/ 160K miles on them, I'm replacing the other 4 before one of them fails, leaving wife and/or kids on the side of the road. I've read E170_Driver's very helpful tutoria...

The heater no longer constantly blows hot air. But it doesn't seem to blow hot air on demand either. And after re-installing the DIM, the cabin fan turned on by itself several times during my test drive. However, the Mrs. hasn't reported that happening since. She HAS told me that the car takes forev...

Over the holidays, I finally managed to get the Mrs. to park her V70 for a few days while I pulled the DIM and sent it to XeMODex for a rebuild. Honestly, this couldn't have been much easier. It actually took longer to pack the DIM securely for shipping than it did to pull the DIM AND to re-install ...

I checked a couple of salvage yards in the NoVa area but none had a DIM that matched up with my part #s. I would keep looking but my wife wants her car fixed and she wants it fixed NOW. So I'm leaning towards having XeMODex rebuild the thing and overnight it back to me. Can anyone share experiences ...

How did Xemodex work out for you? I need to get the DIM fixed in my 2002 V70 and am considering them. Thanks.

A couple of weeks ago, we had the wife's 2002 basic V70 (145k miles) at the local dealer (where we bought the car new) to figure out why we had to keep adding coolant once a week. Turned out to be a leak in the expansion tank, which was replaced. Also had drive belt tensioner replaced, right axle sh...
