2008 XC70 3.2 Fuel line bracket (or holder)

Does anyone know where I can find the plastic fuel line bracket, sometimes referred to as a fuel line holder or rail, for my 2008 XC 70 3.2 AWD? It's the protective strip, held on by yellow plastic clips, that runs down the middle of the underside of the car. Mine was damaged when hit by a piece of ...

2008 XC70 Air-conditioning compressor noise

Hello. There is a noise in my 2008 XC70, that has been getting steadily more obvious, that appears to be coming from the air-conditioning compressor. My initial fear was that the noise was coming from the transmission, as it sounds like a whine that increases and desreases with engine revs, however,...

2008 XC70 Oil use

Hello. My 2008 XC70 has 134,000 miles on it. The car is in very good condition and appears to run very well, however, it uses around half a quart of engine oil for each 1,000 - 1,200, or so, miles. Does this seem like normal consumption, or is it too high? I don't see any obvious reason for the oil ...

Re: 1998 V70 XC AWD 2.4 Rear shock type?

Hello Mike - do you mean that I can just fit non self-leveling, Nivomat shocks, or that if I do I have to also change the springs?

1998 V70 XC AWD 2.4 Rear shock type?

Hello. I have a weeping rear shock absorber on my V70, and so will need to replace both shocks. I have not done anything to the rear shocks before, and am not completely sure that my car has self-levelling suspension, though I think it does. Can someone let me know for sure? Here is the information ...

Air mass sensor failure in Volvo V70

Referring to my 1998 V70 XC AWD Turbo 2.4 Auto, yesterday morning it started as normal (one turn of the engine) and ran fine. By afternoon, it was idling rough and needed several spins of the motor to run. Driving over +/- 1200-1500 rpm it felt much as normal, but was rough on idle at junctions. Hav...

Re: 1998 V70 timing belt crisis - help needed!

Thank-you all for the good advice. I never thought I had to remove the harmonic balancer and/or crank pulley to get the new timing belt on, so what everyone has suggested fits with that. I will try to raise the car a little so that I can actually see the oil pump protuberance, and work the belt arou...

1998 V70 timing belt crisis - help needed!

I am trying to change the timing belt and water pump on my 1998 V70 XC AWD Turbo 2.4 Ltr. Having had both 40,000 miles ago, the water pump put in then developed a premature leak, so while replacing it, I am also putting in a new timing belt. I have done much of the typical procedure; lining-up inlet...
