Re: Headlights dim 2000 S70
Sounds like your bulbs are probably wearing out. 11 years old = you got your money's worth out of them.

Brake issue
The front brakes on my '00 V70XC seem like they're always on a little. The front rotors show signs of wear, while the rears look brand new (they were all replaced at the same time by the previous owner). I've had the front passenger caliper off, and it compressed very easily. Occasionally I get a gr...

Re: BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR?
Your positive cable may be totally shot If so the battery will not take a charge We have people who buy batteries or alternators frequently coming in, claiming they're defective. We test them, they're fine. They argue, we give them a new one. Repeat several times. Once we can convince them to try r...

Re: BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR?
I work in an auto parts store and test a bazillion batteries/starters/alternators every day. Before you do anything else, go outside, clean up your battery terminals and make sure all the charging system wire connections are tight. Most of the people coming into my work with problems have batteries ...

Re: Synthetic in a '00 V70XC
The NextGen had a little over 2k miles on it when I changed it. I've been doing A LOT of reading about oil since then and realize that was probably an unnecessary change, but I had the synthetic and was itching to give it a try. I've been using Purolator Classic filters, but the first one looked a b...

Synthetic in a '00 V70XC
I got a '00 V70XC AWD about a month and a half ago. It replaced my '97 850 wagon, which my bro-in-law is now enjoying. I changed the oil when I first got the V70, using Valvoline NextGen 5W-30. The oil was really dirty at that change, so I wanted to do it again fairly soon. I changed it tonight, usi...
