I spoke with someone at a reputable local Volvo shop and they did mention great things about XeModex but problems do happen, specifically in relation to programming. She's going under the knife on the 13th, wish me luck

1999 Volvo V70 GLT 151,000 miles I just utilized XEMODEX for their repair service where you send in your own ETM. I installed everything correctly and go to turn the key and, I get super high revs. Like aggressive high revs. Has anyone else ever has this experience with their repaired ETM from XEMOD...

Just purchased a 99 Vovlo V70 GLT in pretty decent condition, but I'd like to check out the engine's health... Does anyone know where to place a vacuum gauge? I'm more familiar with the 2000 NA I have, but I'm not sure even where to place it there. Picture here for reference .

I’m looking for a new brake booster for my 2000 V70 non-turbo. I can’t seem to find any genuine ones, seems like they’re probably discontinued? There is one available on AutoHausAZ but it is “with DTSC” and not the right part. It doesn’t necessarily have to be genuine for me to buy it. The Genuine p...

The sound captured on your video is identical to what I hear on my 2000 V70s when moving the wheel. There's always a little play until the transmission gets engaged. It sounds like that play is at the trans, not at the wheel. I've never worried about it. By design, the axle splines are a tiny bit l...

Interesting. Every wheel bearing I've had fail produces a loud howling when driving. Was yours doing that? Is it possible for them to fail without making a sound? I'm curious what about the axle had failed. The only axle failures I've experienced were torn boots letting grease out and dirt in, wear...

Subframe mounts are good, engine mounts are genuine and OEM.
I had bad shuddering from the steering wheel when making slow turns. It’s at the shop right now and turned out to be the axles and the left side wheel bearing

Hopefully someone can benefit from this post

There is a little 'slop' on the axle and trans. Is this an automatic or manual trans? I would say that there is more movement than I would expect, so you could have a worn CV joint. Typically you get a clicking when turning if a joint is getting bad. Trans type is needed to help further. Neil. Hi i...

I've had this strange "metal pop" noise occasionally when I make a slow turn up a hill or into a driveway and shops haven't found anything out of the ordinary. Tires could live for another year or so. I've always felt like the front end up had some play, or was loose feeling, so I had a hu...

Is it possible to do without the tool? I have a torch and a freezer
