Just replaced this on a 2008 XC70 yesterday - hardest part was getting all the old hardened rubber bits out. Thanks again to whoever figured out the Ford part!

I’m pretty happy with it honestly. There is a bit of a gap b/w headlight and bumper on the side that was hit - I tried to minimize it, but I think it’s from when the car was in a front end collision several years back that tweaked the frame a bit.

That's slack in the bumper itself. I push the ...

Grabbed the parts from a forum member. The fender was willow green, so I had a body shop repaint (GLS Autobody in Rockville does good work!). Cleaned up the new-to-me-but-super-yellowed-used headlight, and slapped it all together a couple weeks ago.

After an alignment/re-balance, and buying some ...

Just did this job on my 07. Nice list of pointers - really wish I had a set of crows feet. I ended up squeezing my hand behind the intake with a long 10mm combo wrench and turning it bit by bit.

Also broke 3/5 injector pintle caps. Just installed them as is, will get new injectors soon anyway (180k ...

Assuming there are no junkyards near you to go plunder. Have you tried Erie Vo-Vo?

Asked Erie VoVo and they said ...

Got in an accident in my '07 XC70 (see https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=105952). Looking to grab the body components used if possible.

Nothing clearly bent or broken, but I can tell the alignment is slightly off now. Will have a shop re-align if I end up finding all the parts and getting it fixed up.

Keep an eye on the steering rack, it may start leaking. Can't see it clearly until the inner boot is full of fluid, but bear in ...

Have you contacted the offending driver’s insurance company? Just because your car carries a salvage title doesn’t mean they won’t give you some sort of settlement. A $1000 check would go a long way toward fixing it.


Yep, I’m working with their insurance, I just don’t expect there to be a very ...
