Does an alternator or a V70XC driveshaft to rear axle have any core or other value? I replaced the alternator without a core. I removed the driveshaft because it had gone too long without maintenance and was causing some vibration. I'm not interested in spending $600 to replace the two U joints in t...

I have a 99 V70XC, 152K miles. I'm beginning to notice the smell of antifreeze as well as seeing vapor occasionally coming out of the a/c vents. I have to refill the coolant reservoir about evry other week. I've looked over several repair explanations and it seems like they gloss over how to remove ...

Since summer seems to have arrived early this year and my a/c seems to have forgotten it's task, can someone please tell me where the low pressure port is on a 1999 V70XC? I believe the high pressure port is the one conveniently located near the top, front passenger side by the accessory belt, corre...

I have a 1999 V70XC, about 140k miles. Recently at highway cruising speeds, the transmission will quickly alternate between what I assume is torque converter lockup and not lockup. At about 70 mph, the rpms alter by about 400. This only happens irregularly, i.e. not always initially on the trip and ...

99 V70XC -- My PRNDSL is no longer illuminated. Is there a writeup on how to open the console to replace the bulb?

Also, on the dash the rear window defogger switch is not illuminating. Is there a writeup for that?

Thanks,

1999 v70XC

I bought the kit from IPD http://www.ipdusa.com/Volvo-S70V70-1998 ... 0-498-212/ but it didn't seem to help at all.

This is driving me nuts on the uneven concrete sections near my house!

Help!

1999 V70XC, 123,000 miles Air conditioning system makes a wheezy flute-like sound frequently when starting and turning off car. I had the engine coolant radiator replaced last year. Prior to that the a/c cooled very well and no sounds. All last summer (2009) car struggled to keep cabin comfortable i...

As I was replacing my strut after putting in a new mount I was using my jack to push up the lower A arm to bolt on the strut. I already had the lower bolt in place when the jack slipped out. The strut pushed out the lower mount which in turn pushed out the end of the axle from the outer CV joint . I...

It's the one closest to the wheel hub. Should I still follow your suggestion?

Ok. Unfortunately I can tell by rotating the brake rotor that the axle did not slip back into place. It is just being held generally in place by the boot.

Can I cut the boot to see if I can get it back in place myself to get it to a mechanic, or should I not bother and have it towed?
