Here is a little test....put the ventilation system into recirculation BEFORE you start the car. This way the ventilation system will not draw fumes into the cabin. If you have no fumes when you start it, then look at that little U-shaped (about 2" long) vacuum hose that runs from the intake to...

Go to any auto paint store (supply shop for auto body repair) and buy a can (smallest I have seen is a quart ~$10) of Wax and Grease Remover. Just pour some on a clean rag and wipe the wax off.

That's it and here is a link to the fact on checking it out:

My son had the same symptoms with his car about a year ago. It took me awhile to find the problem.

The V70/XC exhaust (as all V70 wagons EXCEPT the 2000 V70R, AFAIK) does not split the exhaust at all...it runs into the right hand (passenger side) muffler (located behind the rear bumper) and then pipes it over to the left hand muffler.

Yes it is real easy to do...you can get the switch out two different ways. The first is to take the panel off. There are about seven or eight clips that hold it in place. The other way is to use a putty knife and slide it under the switch to push the clips that will release the switch. If I remember...

Go to eBay and search for VADIS...they always have them for sale.

But it sounds so nice and looks so good ! Check out this picture of my 2000 V70 XC that I added V70R AWD dual-exhaust to
