Re: 1998 V70 Fuel Gauge never reads full

Mine does the same thing; when full, the needle looks to be about 1/8th below the F mark. I've never pushed the issue, but i'm wondering if the guage will also go about 1/8 below the E mark before it empties? Again, never tried it, but thought about it. I've simply gotten used to it and you probably ...

Re: C70 Severe Vibration when accelerating

Not sure if you fixed your problem or not, but i had the same problem recently. Culprit: left rear stay, or toe rod, corroded and broken clean through. Not sure if your car (without AWD) has one, but car vibrated pretty bad as it should have-the tire must have been wobbling. Thought it was the ...

Re: Playing With My Propshaft - Clicking and clacking

I think you're right. I took mine out last summer and while the ride of the car was more smooth, the MPG's were about the same, maybe 1 or 2 MPG better. But I liked the smooth ride so I may do it again. In my car, it just feels like I'm dragging something along in the AWD with all of its components ...

Re: iPod and MP3 and USA SPEC iPod interface

Great stuff, thank you all. Come to find out, the unit I have pictured will not fit the 98 V70 because my HU has 8pin plugs, not the 7 as pictured in the above plug. This will fit the wife's 02 V70, but I need to get the "USA Spec CB-PA85 3G iPhone/2G Touch/Nano iPod Cable" to complete the set up ...

Re: 2002 V70 sudden stall

Thanks Otis44. The weird thing is that the car performs well with pretty good mpg. Last weekend I drove from Maine to Pennsylvania 11 hours one way, turned around 7 hours later and drove back and got good mpgs and performance. Dealers remedy for the cat code was to dump two bottles of Techron in the ...

2002 V70 sudden stall

Have a question for you folks that couldn't be answered by the dealer after dropping $120...
Wife's V70, 5 speed manual, 140K miles, is sporadically stalling out. It has stalled on me twice as well. In all
situations, car has stalled while dropping RPM's in either a full-on stop or going into a turn ...
