Thanks. It does seem to be a chore from what I can see. I am going to weig my options at this point. Basically someone mutilated by bolt to the pan when taking it for an oil change. The bolt looks like it was hammered back in to the pan, so I wanted to avoid cutting it out. However looking at what i...

I am attempting to replace my oil pan and was hoping someone had a tutorial. or perhaps a link to one. Also, wondering if it's as hard as it looks =/. Thank you

It is a Turbo, and it does not have a 4. I am getting a new battery today, so I will go form there. Than you

Thank you, I will get the battery taken care of then check my voltage and alternator.

I have a 2000 V70 with about 165,000 miles on it. I have been having trouble with my battery (I'm assuming it's this due to a corrosion on the cable)) and often had to have it jump started recently. Lately, once it started the overdrive light (it's a orange arrow) stays on and flashes. when I try to...

That is undersatndable then, teh weather has been coller her, so the engine is not kicking it on because it must not feel the need. i was just getting worried and did not want the fan to be broken or something. thanks for the advice.

The fan is not staying on. It use to stay on on a hot day just like the other person described above. I am concerned because it is NOT staying on to cool the car anymore. So, as i mentioned before my car is already hot when I start it. It's a weird situation.

I have a 2000 V70 cross country wagon with about 135,000 miles on it. I have noticed lately that th fan does not go off when i turn the car off to cool it down. I live in Central CA and it gets pretty hot here and often times when I get in the car it the car and start it up it will already be 100 de...

So here is the outcome. I blew a head gasket and my turbo went out. Go figure. i was able to ge them both fixed for $2000 and it was a sound investment considering i plan on driving my wagon for years and years to come. I have a 5 year old who's gonna need a car some day :) . Thanks for everyones's ...

After it heads up. it actually seems to get worse after I drove it last. So i pulled over and have driven it about 10 miles since then. I've started it and like I said it seems to idle fine and there is no ils leaks under the hood or large amounts of oil anywhere.
