Re: What did you do to your P2 Volvo today?

Finally, after a year of seeing no high beam light on dash, decided to fix it. Last year, on this day, just before we close at work I needed a WOF (warrant of fitness). I had failed for the blue hb indicator dash light. Figured it was a lamp, figured wrong. I caused an airbag fault by hot connecting...

Re: Tow bar/hitch etc..

Yeah, it was kinda wishful thinking I guess.

Tow bar/hitch etc..

Would anyone be able to confirm whether or not the tow bar assy from a 2000 V70 would fit a 2003 XC70?

I have a opportunity to buy a donor car super cheap. If the tow bar assy will fit then I can easily make my money back.

Any help greatly appreciated.

I have a Stahlcar BT adapter so pulled the codes immediately... P0717, P0700. Did a web look up and such, logged fault and cleare...

Re: Boot liners

I guess we'll see. I have made some inquiries. Ski season is nearly upon us and I really want to keep the mud and snow off the carpets. The parking at our local ski area is pretty agricultural, unsealed often with a very fine clay-esk mud, almost like paint. Stuff gets everywhere if you let it. Afte...

Re: Boot liners

Bed liner would be an option, however, they aren't really a thing down here in New Zealand like they are up your end of the Pacific. Might be worth looking into though. I have asked for dimensions. That should answer the question quite definitively.

Boot liners

Anyone know whether this 2007-2016 bootliner fits in the earlier 2003 XC70. It kinda looks the same to me, but I don't know. Plus it's pretty pricey. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=1607086412&member_hash=4e176f331784901f4bcee03ff41fe7b85ae71270c264d0cdac&tm=email&et=46&mt=130AA0...

Re: Volvo fuel door issues wont latch rant

Buy a small rare earth magnet and apply it to the inside of the fuel door so it will be opposite the head of the upper left screw when the fuel door is closed (see pic). This works like a charm (I have not had my door flapping in the breeze since I did this) and has minimal cost. This is exactly wh...

Re: 2004 XC70 Starting and cruising trouble - dealer no help

Highly recommend one of these http://www.stahlcar.nz/diagnostic-tools ... oothswitch
You leave them in without battery drain. Torque pro seems to work well with it.
