Let's consider both are bad or going bad, how long can I limp by? Gas mileage is still 24/25-ish.

Main Catalyst Below Threshold (Bank 1) is the latest code generated from my CEL. PO442 is the #. Any idea as to what this is pertaining to and is it serious?

Is there any wisdom to replacing with a larger fuse? RIght now, there's a 20.

Not sure about the fuse. How does one tell if it's blown? I've not been to this mechanic before and I'm not sure how he came about his diagnosis.

Although I'm not one to work on my own vehicles, I'm learning this is a relatively basic procedure and a good project for beginner DIY'ers. I've come across one step-by-step procedure but would like to compare t...

I have a 2001 V70 XC that has started vibrating mainly when I accelerate and or am turning/curving to the left (while accelerating). I first notice this on the interstate climbing a mode...

I'm looking for a Volvo specialist in the Asheville, NC area. Any suggestions?

After purchasing a 2001 V70 XC, I discovered the front differential was shot. After receiving the repair estimate, I was told the car was fine to drive until I was able to scrape together the money to replace the diff. In the meantime, I just wouldn't have AWD (the main reason for purchasing the car...
