You guys (and gals?) have sold me on the Bilsten TCs. I was ready to go with the OEM Sachs but my 2001 C70 feels so ridiculously heavy in the front that I think a slightly firmer strut will help me get the smooth ride I seek (not so interested in handling and "performance"). Also, I am run...

Updating six months later... I did end up taking it to the Volvo dealer, and they came up with the same thing... I must have a loose connection somewhere, but they would be looking at 1-5 hours to find it. Basically, it looks like both of the 2 wire circuits that go to the power drivers window remai...

I will let you know how this turns out. UPDATE: The 16" Platinum E-Twine wheels arrived. My tire guy dry-fitted them, and.... drum roll please.... they FIT! Still had plenty of room to clear the calipers. Glad we did this because that is when I noticed that my current 225/45-17s were rubbing i...

Thanks, Lindsay & Mike. - Lindsay - did your 2000 Volvo originally come with 16" wheels? - Mike: I just measured the brake discs on the front and they are 288MM. But curiously, it looks like the 'spindle' that the 'hub' bolts on to might be a problem...part of the spindle extends beyond the...

After finding out all 4 of my 2001 Volvo C70 factory wheels are out of round in at least 2 places (thanks to the wonderful freeway pot holes near downtown Los Angeles), I need to replace my wheels but how do I change the sizes of the wheels and tires to have a better chance to "protect" th...

I have a 2001 Volvo C70 Convertible with the 2.3L engine and at 76L miles, the transmission is going out. After 10 minutes of stop n go driving, the transmission slips even while on cruise control, "slams" into gears at very low speed. I have had two mechanics confirm the transmission, spe...

Posting an update... took ,y '-1 C70 Convertible with the Driver's window stuck in the UP position (thank goodness it's stuck there) to the independent Volvo mechanic in my area. He spent 2+ hours with it, and he could not figure out how to get the power window working. On the + side, he was able to...

Thank you, JRL. Just reaching out to Erie Vovo since my '01 C70 Transmission is a goner (71K miles), and I am LOVING their Lifetime Replacement warranty on a used transmission. Thanks for letting us know about them!

@rspi - I will check the wires at the hinges, and yes, the Driver's Master switch controls the other three windows, and they all also move up and down when the convertible top is engaged. @c70-lindsay - yes, when I say the window "regulator" I am referring to the entire motor/track assembl...

Hey fellow Volvo owners - I bought a 2001 C70 Convertible 6 months ago with only 62,000 miles. About 3 months ago, the Driver's side window stopped working completely. It will not move from the Driver's side switch, and "All Windows" button on the Driver's door Master switch or when the co...
