V60 Shopping Guidance

Hello S60/V60/XC60- Wife has advised that she'd like to upgrade her 2008 V70 3.2 to a 2015+ V60. :shock: I've surfed and searched a bit here and could not find a 'common issues' or 'shopping guidance' thread. Apologies if I have missed it (hints appreciated). We are looking for 2015-2018 V60. Genera...

2008 V70 3.2 - hard cold start

HI, hoping you all can confirm my thoughts on a hard start problem- I haven’t played with returnless fuel system yet and may be missing something. Have a 2008 V70 3.2 with ~90K miles. Since 50k or so it has hard a fairly regular hard start (cranking 2-5 seconds before it catches), occasionally requi...

Re: V70 with notchy steering

So, after the discussion yesterday, I drove the car and really paid attention to when the notchiness occurred- I think you all are right on track; it occurs when the wheel is straight ahead and 180 degrees from there (when the word Volvo is upside-down). This makes me very suspicious of the steering...

Re: V70 with notchy steering

Oh crud - forgot to mention it, but we did flush the RED ATF :oops: out that came with the car (!) about six months ago and it seemed to get better for a time (didn't mean to be withholding information!!) after replacing with CHF11S. I suppose it is logical that I should try that again before taking...

Re: V70 with notchy steering

Thanks for the replies. Sorry I was out of range over the weekend. If one turns the wheel, you'll get 60-90 degrees of powered rotation, and then effort increases.

V70 with notchy steering

HI all! We have a 2002 V70 T5 (automatic) that is exhibiting power steering weirdness we can not readily resolve; maybe you could (please) help?! Symptom - starting from any steering wheel location (straight, off to left, off to right) the "power" element of power steering works great for ...
