Re: Need an XC70 cross country expert opinion!

Thank you. So are you saying the 2000 with some of the same setup as an 850 is a bit more reliable than 2001 and up? Are the 98 or 99 XC's more reliable than the 2000?

Hi everyone, my 1999 V70R is keeping too expensive to upkeep and there are a few things coming down the road that I know are going to be big $$. I'm looking at selling and moving to a more "practical" AWD like the cross country. I'd really love to stay with Volvo since I've owned 4. BUT, I...

'99 V70R and a P1332 code (cam shaft)

Good morning! About 6 weeks ago I had a code for a large Evap leak- evident from a rough and pulsating idle between 800-1050 RPM's. I replaced the MAF sensor but that didn't work. There is not really a rough idle anymore but not I do have to give the car quite a bit of gas when I turn the key on. So...

99 V70R EVAP/engine surge/P0455 code

Hi all, I've been having an engine surge for a while now..check engine light was on and a few codes came up- one of which was for the MAF sensor. I bought a new one to replace, and it seemed to help a little, but now we are back to where it was. Engine surges from 800-1,000 RPM's in part and often s...
