Any Ideas How to Fix/Replace Driver's Side Seat?

I want to repair my wife's driver's-side seat on her 03 XC70 for Christmas. The seat back is fine, it's just the bottom part that is seaming out after 145k miles. Picture attached. Replacing the entire seat is more $$ than I can spend. Do you know of anyone out there who repairs or replaces seat sec...

Any Phoenix, AZ Volvo people here?

Hi All, I live in Phoenix, AZ and have a 2003 XC70. I'm at 130k miles and am starting to have to repair/replace on my car. I've always used the same independent Volvo shop, Swedish Auto on Cave Creek and am thinking I should see if there are any alternatives in the valley. Who do you trust to work o...

Re: xeMODex ABS rebuild or OEM ABS unit?

Installed the rebuilt ABS module. All signal lights are gone (ABS, Brake, Traction). Seems to be working fine. Now I can figure out why I'm getting a Check Engine light and a Check Transmission message and why it is not shifting smoothly between 2nd and 3rd gear. I'm thinking it isn't going to be go...

Re: Video Write Ups

Excellent, thanks much for posting. Wanted to know how to change ABS sensor. I looked at your abs module post and it helped me take my module out. Any future vids related to XC70 will also be much appreciated.

Cheers

Re: xeMODex ABS rebuild or OEM ABS unit?

Turns out removing the ABS module is only slightly harder than changing a light bulb. Sending the module to xeMODex tomorrow, installing rebuild on Wednesday.

Hoping it works.

Re: xeMODex ABS rebuild or OEM ABS unit?

Asking xeMODex is a great idea, thanks very much Klaus.I wish I would have thought of that yesterday. I just called them, they are closed on Fridays during the summer. I need to take the unit out this weekend so it looks like no help from xeMODex. I'm going to find and E5 Torx socket over lunch toda...

Re: xeMODex ABS rebuild or OEM ABS unit?

Thanks Klaus.
I'm not exactly comfortable with taking it out but for $1000 I'm going to do it. I've seen a couple of articles on removing the ABS module, any tips would be greatly appreciated. Will let you know how it turns out.
