Re: I'm stumped. What is the object detection system called?

That is the Park Assist System. Mine does not work but from the way you're describing it, I'm kind of glad it doesn't!

P2111 code

MY daughter's 2004 XC70 had trouble starting this morning and when it finally did, it ran rough. Stepping on the gas did nearly nothing to engine speed. My scanner picked up a P2111 code and I have been reading a lot about what this is and the numerous fixes. I just want to have it bottom lined...do...

Transmission fluid brands

My wife's 2004 XC70 seems to be downshifting a bit more erratically than it used to, so my first attempt to remedy that will be a drain and fill of the transmission fluid. I have read conflicting info online regarding the necessity to stay with Volvo transmission fluid only or using an OEM whose nam...

Re: 2001-2003 S60 Transmission Issues?

Jim,
So is that to say that, all things being equal, a FWD 01 or 02 would be okay? What about the manual transmissions for either of these model years? Issues of their own, or good to go?

2001-2003 S60 Transmission Issues?

Hey guys, I'm aware of the problems that plagued the transmissions on the 2001-2003 model years V70/XC70s. I am looking at S60s now for myself and am wondering, do these same model years suffer the same problems that the V70/XC70s did? I find myself mentally precluding these years as I search for a ...

2000 V70 XC ETM problem, Xemodex replacement

So...I recently replaced the ETM with one from Xemodex. It had all of the symptoms...no power while pressing on the gas (sporadically), ETM light on (again, sporadically). Of course, the 'no power' would occur at the most inopportune time...like merging on the highway....whatever, it's in now. But.....

Re: ETM failure. How about Sacer?

Yeah, upon further research (and some valuable input from Matty Moo) I have found the same. It's not quite as straight forward as it appears. So, I will need to either go with Xemodex, or another alternative...if there is such a thing.

ETM failure. How about Sacer?

Well, the ETM on my wife's car is in its final death throes. I know there is the XeMODeX option, but in my research I have come across the Sacer contact-less TPS. What sort of luck has anyone had with these units? They are significantly less than the XeMODeX unit, but we intend on keeping the car fo...

Re: No start 2000 V70 XC

No, it's not even turning over. In fact, she had to use the key to unlock as the remote would not work.

No start 2000 V70 XC

Hey guys...As you see in the subject line, my problem is my wife's 2000 V70 XC. This problem has been a long time coming, and shame on me for not dealing with it sooner, but I can't change that now. For some time now, the ETS, ABS and possibly one other light have been coming on sporadically. That w...
