Re: 2004 XC ABS & Check Engine Light On, Speedometer not Working

Thanks. It is going to go in on Wed.

I read through the forums looking for others who experienced. One person suggested beeping the horn. I did this and all the messages disappeared and speedometer and tachometer working. Thoughts on this?

2004 XC Wagon Car pausing when accerating

Hi all. A month or two ago I bought a new (used) XC WAGON. I had a 2001 XC, this newer one is a 2004. I was very excited to find one with the low miles of 80,000. This one does not appear to have as much power as my 2001. Not only that, but when I accelerate at lower speeds, it sometimes feels like ...

Re: 2001 XC Rack and Pinion and in need of general advice

Thank you for your reply. Also re :"Even if it looses fluid at the steering rack (shot seals), if it doesn't leak too much, it will still go on for a while, so no need to replace asap." This was my next question. At what point will I know it is really time to act? I will replace fluid this...

2001 XC Rack and Pinion and in need of general advice

Ok, so I will start with the current issue. I just brought my car in for some steering problems (starting to steer hard began as very slight two months ago). I brought it into a VIP. They told me the car is in need of a new rack & pinion. The cost will be close to $2000.0 The car has 260,000 mil...

Re: 2001 xc wagon AC stop blowing cold air after a few minu

Your symptoms are those of excessive a/c compressor clutch gap. "clutch gap" will get you a lot of information if you search. If you get a good flashlight and drive your car until it stops cooling you will be able to see the center for the a/c clutch stopped if it is this problem. Ok. Jus...
