Yesterday, my 02 V70XC would not start. The in dash display read "Start prevented. Try again" I disconnected the battery cable and reset the system. It started right up after that and it started fine this morning. However, when I tried to start it a few minutes ago it did the same thing. W...

I have an 02 V70 XC and I think that the alternator is bad. I have a chance to get a used one, but I don't know if it is compatable. My car is a 2.4L non-turbo and the car that the used alternator is off of is an 02 S60 2.4L turbo. Does anyone know if that will work? I just want to be sure before I ...

My 02 V70 XC is having a little trouble. The engine is cutting out a little. It is worse when it is in drive but not moving such as at a stop light. It does it while idling as well but not as noticable. It is supposed to use premium fuel, but there have been a few occasions where regular 87 octane w...

No, it comes back on later, but it does not shut off until the battery is dead. So I am guessing that this is something for a dealership?

Cool. After looking at some other posts, I bfound that my "afterblow system" is staying on. Do you know how to disconnect it?

The battery on my 02 V70 XC keeps draining, especially if it sits for a long amout of time. If I jump the car it starts right up but the battery will not hold a charge. Is there an affordable aftermarket battery that I can get? And is this a vented battery and is the vent necessary. Please excuse my...

What will I look for on them? Is there a way to tell if they are bad or not and what is the approx cost of replacement?

My brake lights work intermittently. The center light works all the time without fail, but the two side brake lights only work sometime. Is this a short in the lines? And if so is it an easy fix?

Are the 2004 compatable with the 2002? If so I think that I can find one. I can get a 2002 as well, but if the 04 is better and compatable I will upgrade.

Thanks

*This is an update from an earlier question* (original question) While driving today, the dash lights went out. Also, the gas guage, spedometer, and temp guage went dead. You can still see the digital readout for the odometer and clock, but it has no back light so you have to really look to see it. ...
