Re: V70 XC(2001) How Can a Programming Update Break Everythi

Thanks for the heads-up. As it turns out, the dealer was (luckily) able to re-program the used door module that he found in NY, and all is now working pretty well. Replacing that cleared up pretty much all the other error codes, too. What was going to be $601 plus labor ended up under $280 total ...

What brings me here this evening is the 2001 V70 XC. I always deal with a small Volvo (only) garage for all work - but they sent me to a local ...
