Re: V70 Rear Wiper Arm issue

Classic call for a pick-and-pull replacement IMHO. A part that is used rarely, and is easily tested for function before you walk out, if you do some homework on the wiring of the motor beforehand. It mean it works with the arm off and not with it on so i imagine the mechanism is shot. worked before...

Re: V70 Rear Wiper Arm issue

seems like a worthy solution short of the whole transmission mechanism. It was already making a clunk back and forth and it doesn't seem like a huge amount of travel but i hadn't thought it could really hurt the gears on the motor itself.

V70 Rear Wiper Arm issue

My car was recently vandalized/criminal mischiefed on two separate occasions. THe first being some one ripped off the rear wiper arm as seen here 1052745_10151433717016371_1980721902_o.jpg . I got in the new wiper arm and did the quick change out only to find that the arm would make it about half wa...

Re: V70r disengage of driveline after hard stop

It sounds like it is low on fluid. Check the level with the engine running in neutral and check both sides of the dipstick to make sure the reading is accurate. ...Lee Reading full right now. Maybe too full? did a flush and ended with two gallon jugs filled with old stuff. Im guessing that behavior...

V70r disengage of driveline after hard stop

Having a 9-5 job I sometimes find myself needing to stop a little faster in traffic than I would like.

All I've been doing is lightly touching the gas when I'm ready ...

Re: 99 v70 r Transmission sticking in first gear in cold wea

Going to wait two weeks and then switch out another two gallons and see if it helps. the fluid is still a bit muddy but the color is considerably better and no longer solid gr...
