Re: Advice on potential purchase of '07 XC70

Had that same year/model/color - miss it. Freak'n TANK and it drove really nice on the highway.
If the PCV system is clogged I wouldn't buy it. I'm not saying it is... but it might be.
Timing belt due? (I didn't read the ad very closely, just suggesting).
You will need a special tool (I know ...

Re: '07 S80, 3.2, 110k - P0306, P003F Diagnostic Assistance Welcomed

Confirmed I replaced the wrong one. Was led astray by another poster in another thread/site along with the Carsoft code referencing the "Intake" so I focused on that other intake solenoid. Just removed the smaller one next to it and was total crap ;-)

Hey Paul,

The full code was ECM-P003F00 Intake (A) Camshaft Profile Control Stuck On (Bank 2). I replaced the single long VVT, which I believe is the correct one?

'07 S80, 3.2, 110k - P0306, P003F Diagnostic Assistance Welcomed

I've had many Volvo's with the 5 cylinder and a Bertone 262 with the PRV6. The 3.2 is new to me and I've done some of the basic engine maintenance on the XC60's 3.0 and my other S80's 3.2. You may remember me from the issue I have about 1.5 years ago where the engine shut down due to the bad ...

Re: $10,000 S80 Challenge

Hey pgill - figure I owed an update since my belt/pulley experience. So that actually went OK - my goal was to keep the car on the road as long as possible and that was almost a year ago! Although it's pretty old (same as yours) it only has 110k on the odometer and the dealer I got it from 2 years ...

Re: 2012 XC60 90k broken rear spring - level of effort?

Thanks guys, those special service tools alone would be about $1500 - totally not worth it vs. paying someone. But if an external one like Jimmy posted works maybe I'll take this on. Quiet tight in there...
