Good luck on starting the car after this if it is a 2000V70XC Hope your neighbors are awake

To the best of my ability I have identified these two codes. The P1618 is a code that tells you the the ECU is having a problem communicating with one of the other computers. The code 0705A indicates that there is a problem with the gear selector switch. As soon as the code appears I do have driveab...

Ok so now I think I know more about why I keep getting these codes. But I do not know the solution. Cause: Starting from the beginning, I purchased a 2000 v70XC with a blown engine and burnt up passenger compartment. I must be some kind of masochist. Then I purchased a donar car a 1999 V70XC.

Hi, I have a 2000 v70xc that gave me two codes the first one was P0705A the second P1618. I cleared the codes and the car started to run fine.

The culprit could very well be a bad head gasket to a cracked or warped head. I just bought a volvo that had a b...

Being the impatient one that I am I decided to continue to swap parts. I started with the immobilizer. No luck then I swapped both the ECM and TCM from the doner car. The car starts and runs. I have not road tested it yet tranny hose leak. So those of you that are wondering electronic equipment from...

Hi, I have a 2000 V70XC that I purchased that had an interior fire. Someone had attempted to steal it broke the steering column and set the thing on fire. So I replaced all of the interior from a donar car, just to find out that the engine was toast as well. My bad. Good thing I got it cheap. Any ho...
