2001 V70XC front end vibration

This is driving me nuts! My 01 xc70 with 108k has a moderate front end vibration anywhere upwards of 50mph. I bought it like this a few months ago with 104k on it knowing that the front end had some issues. I just replaced the strut bearings, spring mounts, inner tie rod ends, and had the tires ball...

Message center says "Tailgate Open" but it's not.

Hi, i just picked up a 01' V70 XC w 99k on it. I buy and sell lots of cars for extra cash and do most of my own repairs. The message center on the dash reads "tailgate open" but I'm sure it's closed all the way. I lifted the tailgate to look for a switch that would activate the dome light ...

What's the gel for?

Yes, the boots are already clamped in. I'm just wondering what the blue gel is for. Is it a sealant to hold the grease in the joint boots?

98 V70 XC Chassis Indentification?

I need to replace my front U-joint on my front driveshaft. I have found the part online on a few sites but they are all asking me which chassis type, 465399 or 465398? Anybody know how to figure this out? The last six of my vin # is 498094.

Oil Leaking Out Of Filler Cap 98 V70

Hey- This is my first Volvo, a 98' V70 2.4 Turbo. I'm a pretty good mechanic but am not familiar with Volvo's design, heard they are good cars. Anyway, oil is leaking, actually being pushed out of my oil filer cap. I would guess that there is a problem with the PCV or crankcase breather. I looked at...
