Solution: Immobilizer antenna ring was bad, possibly contaminated when I cleaned the ignition tumbler. New OEM part (8621509) was $72.99 shipped from FCPEuro.

Have you used the valet key successfully before to start the car? I was wondering if you hadn't, are you sure it is chipped. If not it may be a security lock out possibly until locked and unlocked again? Neil. Yes. I actually went out later in the morning with the original key. Did the same door lo...

Thank you. This will help but it's for the generation of V70 prior to my 2001. The column covering removal is the same, but kick panel, and dash and even hand lever are different. I'll use this for reference but was hoping someone with a 2001-2007 V70 or S60 did the job. My lever broke (split) where...

My plastic steering wheel adjustment hand lever broke. It's the lever to the left of your steering wheel that allows you to raise or lower the steering wheel. Volvo PN is 9 491 830.
