Thanks Mike. Confirmation is always nice before tearing in. Is there are thread here on getting the alternator out? I have a reasonable mechanical skill and tooling but haven't done this job on this car.

Thanks Lee. That is what I feared. I have everything I need to fix it in my garage, including the battery charger. But the car isn't in my garage...might just have to hit up the neighbor to yank it up the hill for me so I can get a charger on it....

HI All and Kahl,
Well I got a big old clue for you all. After screwing around a bunch with it earlier this week, the battery was getting pretty weak from repeated starts but just enough to not turn the engine. Lights and everything were still coming on. So we took the other car down to jump it and ...

Hi all,
I am looking for a bit of advice after a lot of digging around on this site.

I have the car listed above. It barely starts, runs rough, can't make enough power to move at all even in gear, and the dash board is a Christams tree. But, it doesn't give me any codes! My first assumption was the ...

Color is silver. 222,xxx miles. Black interior. Chittendon county VT. Picture in attachment.

Hi all,
I have a 98 V70 XC and a 2000 V70 XC. Despite appearances, there are, of course, many differences between these cars and one of them is the rated mileage. 20/28 for the 98 and 18/25 for the 2000. This has always born out in the measured mileage and we have always just driven the 98 when we ...

Hi All,
Quick update. I stabilized the spring a little differently and it seems to have gone in just fine. I really don't know for sure what the variable was that made the difference, but it clearly is in right now.

Hi All,
I have been doing front suspension work on my 98 V70 XC. It has 200000 miles and the strut tops were blown. I am doing more or less all of the major wear parts. It has been a big job with lots of knuckle busting, stuck bolts, new tools (yay!), and I never would have even attempted it without ...

Hey OzarkLee,
I would love to see that pdf of 4-bolt control arm removal.
Thanks,
