I sold my 2002 V70 - it was a good car, bought it when my girls were toddlers and they both learned to drive on it. I'm a bit sad, it was a good car, never gave me any trouble and in the last few years I did all the work myself so it was hard to let go. We downsized to a Golf Sportwagen, we'll see h...

On my 2002 V70 I can slide the sunroof open all the way (pull button towards rear) and I can tilt (push button up toward roof) but the normal close function (push button toward front of car) doesn't work. This was a minor headache as I could time it just right to get the roof to seal up. However, no...

This was super-helpful for me, thanks a million. I got the kit from iPd+ and it worked great. A couple comments on my 2002 non-turbo V70 : - I had to disconnect the fuel line at the "quick-disconnect", which wasn't that quick to disconnect. Unhooking it from the fuel rail is easy but I cou...

Thanks for all the suggestions, I put 130K of it's 170K miles on the car and never replaced the PCV so it's overdue. My STFT does not go low at 2500 but it also bounces around like crazy sometimes. I'll do another more controlled test and look at the other seals but with the info from dj_v70's posts...

I recently got a P0171 on my 2002 V70 non-turbo, 170K miles. I did a few overdue things like replace the fuel filter but the code came back. I inspected the usual vacuum hoses and sprayed carb cleaner, all inconclusive. The log from the Torque app also doesn't clearly point to vacuum leaks. Last cou...

He seems very savvy and works on Volvos a lot. He used an impressive looking diagnostics tool made by Snap-On. However, I might talk to the dealer next, see what they would charge to do the diagnostics with the official tool.

2002 V70 base model. Here's the sequence of events: - Instrument cluster failed completely - Removed and reflowed solder around main components (didn't unhook battery first) - Instrument cluster works again but SRS airbag warning is always on. - Mechanic unable to clear SRS code with professional sc...

Great, thanks for the info. I can read the display with my LED bike light so I know nothing terrible is going on but would like to get the bulbs replaced eventually.

Two of the grey bulbs on the back of my instrument cluster are burnt out and I can't read the messages on the lower-left LCD display. I noticed there are grey, black and blue sockets, but I can only find one type in the online parts stores. Does anyone know which wattage each of the three colors is?...

Answering my own question: the straight hose goes to the passenger side towards the tank and connects to another hose which goes to an air filter.
