Re: Parts failure poll for P2 generation: let's do it right

Here's mine for a V70 2001 2.0T:

Tie rods
Control arm bushings
Transmission (complete overhaul despite oil changes)
Fuel flap locking mechanism
ETM (refurbished Xemodex)
Turbocharger (small oil leak)
Center cupholder (broken spring)

Cheers,

John

Re: Fuel capacity, flap won't lock

Just an update to the 2 problems: still haven't been able to put more than 55 liters in the tank, mystery unresolved. The fuel door not locking turned out to be stripped teeth of the gears in the locking unit. Rather than getting a new unit with the same inherent design problem (steel on plastic gea...

Volvo AUX adapter

Getting fed up with the limited audio capabilities in my 2001 V70 I decided to try the Volvo AUX adapter (http://www.auxadapter.se) by Johnny Persson. After paying around $125 NZD incl shipping it wasn't too long before I received it. Being somewhat of an electronics buff myself I was pleased with t...

Re: Please help diagnose this noise/vibration

I recently bought the car, unfortunately I don't know about tire km's. Given the state of the wear indicators they have still a bit of life in them. About V70 (front) wheel bearings: they seem to wear out rather quick? There are more members with lower mileage cars and bearings gone south. Is this c...

Please help diagnose this noise/vibration

Our 2002 V70 2.0T with 123000KM's makes a grinding noise below ~20km/h. It originates from the front end, more so on the left side. It is also slightly noticeable in the steering. The best I can describe it is like the a/c compressor is engaged but than much more pronounced and phasing in and out (w...

Fuel capacity, flap won't lock

Happy New Year to you all, For my 2001 V70 2.0T the fuel tank capacity is said to be 80 liters. But when I filled her up the other day after having the warning light on for a bit it takes only 55 litres ... rather a large reserve :-) Would the fuel gauge be that much off? Also The fuel door won't lo...
