So I just checked the level & it seems fine to me.. I drove the car out to the street to check so engine still would have been a bit cold and level was above the 'cold' marker. Fluid also looks lightly pink indicating that it's clean. I hate lifting the hood of my car, I feel like my engine soun...

I had my vovlo mechanic do it.. No I have not checked to see what he used or if it's at correct level.. I put my trust in the mechanic as I've been dealing with him for a long time and he only works on Volvos.. Recently there's been a small leak on my driveway, I can't work out what type of liquid i...

I had the fluid done 2 months ago and the time before that was about 3 years ago..

Bavarianstig, I'm curious to know if you tried this on your car?.. My 1999 v70XC is also slipping in reverse.. As of yesterday it's become worse, barely moving

(IM IN SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA) Im just guessing 'ATF' = automatic transmission fluid??? My Volvo mechanic checked that fluid today and kinda made a face indicating that it looked ok? Just looked brown (and normal) to me. He also gave the advice about flushing the fluid. He also mentioned he has a cu...

I'm sorry, I didn't mention make & model as its at the side under my name.. But its a 1999 V70XC with 142xxx on it.
The mechanic said rebuilding would cost $3300 then with 10-12 hours labour on top.. Cant I (if possible) pull one at the scrappy, then have it installed

:?: So after just having a whole bunch of work done on my car, the mechanic mentions my tranny slips in reverse :O I too had previously noticed this but never gave it much attention other than telling my husband reverse feels different, but he knows as much as me! Im at my wits end with this car. Th...

So just wanted to give a quick update.. Put the new throttle body in, had the car towed to a guy 30 miles away to install software and for the first time in over a month, drove the car home! Car ran smooth! Thou when we got home, theres a burning smell coming from under hood, which i think is oil.. ...

Thanks, I defo will check out those other threads! Im so jealous of your '98. I've had 2 '98's which both got put off road thru other peoples careless driving.. And because I had enjoyed my '98's a lot, I tried so hard to buy another with the insurance money, but there just wasn't any out there :( M...

Holler, I appreciate your advice/concern.. The mechanic doing the work is NOT so knowledgable with Volvos :( This was always a concern of mine when choosing him to do the work. He is my bro-in-laws mechanic mostly working on American and Japanese autos. My regular Volvo guys prices were just too muc...
