Thank you all for your replies. I truly appreciate it. My thought was to put the belt on and do a compression test and that seems to be the consensus. Thanks again for your replies.

I have 2003 V70 non-turbo. The timing belt broke and I am in the process of changing it out. A couple of questions. 1) It broke while at idle, but I would suspect that I still bent some valves. Should I replace the belt and determine what valves are bent, or tear it down now while the belt is off? W...

Thank you for the feed back... $30 all in is pretty cheap and sounds like a winner.

Well problem solved.. or at least mostly. It is still running a little rough, but not bad at all, just not quit how I would like it. I disconnected the neg terminal, changed all the spark plugs to new double platinum, checked the bolts on the intake and they were fine, but I also checked the clamp t...

Thank you both. Right now, they are Autolite double platinum.. about $4-5 per @ Advanced or AZ, still reasonably cheap to do and possibly one way of eliminating at least one possible issue. I'll try that and if it doesn't fix it, I may get another coil pack and swap out one-by-one. I'll look for vac...

Thank you for your response. When I replaced the manifold, I did replace the gasket. I torqued down the bolts to the specified amount, but I too thought maybe one might be loose. I'll see if I can get to it tonight and check for loosening. I also replaced the #3 spark plug, though it did look ok. So...

Hello, I have an 2003 V70 non turbo automatic with 259k miles. All of a sudden, the car started to idle rough and hesitate on acceleration. When I turn the AC off, it runs better... not great but better. It seems like a misfire. I took it to Autozone and it's throwing P0300 and P0420, basically no h...

Ok, it looks like IPD sells complete kits, so that's what I ordered. Thank you for your help

Thank you Oragex. Yep, this is the original pcv. So as I understand it, you are saying it's the box that needs to be replaced. Do you know if the process differs from replacing the pcv on a turbo engine or can I use those instructions?

I have a 2003 V70 non-turbo with about 250k miles. Recently it developed a rather massive oil leak. It seems to leak more from miles driven rather than from time. In other words if it is sitting or we are doing mostly city driving, leak is nominal. However highway driving, I may lose a half quart an...
