Re: Advice on selling/scrapping 2006 xc70

Odometer is at 223,444.

Believe me, I've had the discussions about the merits vs. cost of having someone dig in there to find the problem, or swapping the engine. I also know I'm giving someone a car in mostly good shape, but as I'd said, I don't have the space or time to hang onto this until I ...

Re: Advice on selling/scrapping 2006 xc70

Re: Uneven cycling in drive with brake depressed

Appreciate the responses, thank you. I don't think my mechanic knows to reset the fuel trim so I'm going to start there and see what happens.

Uneven cycling in drive with brake depressed

I was coming here to ask opinions on what might be happening with my 2006 xc70, and I think I stumbled on the answer, but I'll ask anyhow.

I've recently had a cracked radiator replaced, and also had the timing belt replaced a few months back. Since the timing belt was replaced, I've felt a sort of ...

Re: What the hell is this?

Re: What the hell is this?

There was the other end of the electrical connection nearby, so this fits. I’ve ordered a new one, I might have the old one bronzed.
