I took my V70xc in to a little local Volvo shop run by an ex-Park Place-Dallas certified Volvo mechanic. He did a partial tranny fluid change out. I provided the fluid and he did the work for $50. I switched out the B-4 cover. After weeks of driving, no real change. I got a used computer. I switched...

Well, I got the B4 Servo cover. I was not enthusiastic about starting the job, but actually it turned out to be a piece of cake. Jacking the car, removing the wheel and getting the cover off took about 20 minutes. Getting the cover back on was a little harder. I couldn't use the bolt that IPD sent w...

I am the original poster. My tranny fits in the range. It is 01G. I have fluid on the way and also the B4 cover. I went ahead and bit the bullet and took the chance and registered the car. I drove it down the highway about two miles to get it inspected and discovered some new symptoms. Besides clunk...

Great, thanks for the info. I got 12 litres so that is more than 12 1/2 quarts. BTW, I am not going to do a flush, just a drain and fill. I plan to to it twice over a weekend. So that should only use about eight quarts total, right?

Apparently I do not have the stop neutral feature. On level ground I come to a stop sit with my foot on the brake for a few seconds. The instant I release the brakes the car creeps forward. That's good ......right? I noticed that the flare from second to third happens even when manually shifting, no...

So I take it that the odds are pretty good that I can get my money's worth out of it over the next few years to make it worth the effort rather than dumping now and licking my wounds. I noticed someone selling Volvo 1161540 on Ebay right now for $3.95 a litre. Hopefully it is the real thing and not ...

I am in a position right now to decide if I want to continue with the next steps. I bought the car as something of a "pig in a poke". The owner had lost the keys and it had front fender damage and they didn't want to mess with fixing it and getting a key. So I got the car for almost nothin...

The 2002 V70xc that I recently acquired has started the dreaded clunking into gear and flaring from 2nd to 3rd. Can someone tell me what that means it is going to do. Will it just do that forever? Will it gradually get worse? Will it catastrophically fail while at speed? I am planning to do the drai...

What is it about them that makes them for 15" only? I have 16" wheels on my 2002 V70xc, but the rotors are 5 lug, 11.25" diameter and about 1.0625" thick.

My 2002 xc70 was missing the driver side headlight when I got it and the plug had been cut off. I got a pigtail at a wrecking yard and grafted it on, but none of the running or headlights on the driver's side front or rear will come on. Turn signals work, but not running lights. There are several op...
