Re: Passenger door lock.

Just for kicks, have you tried disconnecting the main battery and let the car sit for 30 minutes?

NOTE!!! Before you do this make sure you have the code to your radio. I know that my SC-901 prompts me for the antitheft code after the battery is disconnected.

Sometimes a battery disconnect will ...

Hi, that is great.

Sorry I didn't get back to you with pictures but again, it's so easy I knew you'd figure it out.

Re: Doors getting tough to open...

The doors on my 2000 c70 with 71K are getting difficult to open. On the passenger side you'd swear the door was locked unless you give it a real tug to open it. I'm thinking that maybe the heavy weight of these doors causes this to happen over time. Is there some adjustment that can be made to help ...

Re: Checking ATF level 04 C70

the dipstick is also a pain in the ass to find on these cars too.

Re: Transmission issues

I have a 2002 C70 Convertible. I have been having problems recently on shifting from reverse to drive. The car is fine going into reverse, but when put into drive it hesitates for about 2 seconds then "clunks" into gear. I just took it to a local transmission shop. They said it is the valve box? He ...

Re: Loud creaking when turn sharp

I have a C70 2002.
The car creaks loudly when you turn tight into a parking lot or making a u turn. Sounds like a haunted house door. I thought maybe the tire was rubbing against the wheelwell, but I dont see any wear on the tires. This has been happening for a while. thank you for any information ...
