Best radio for 2000 V70? Where to buy?

Hi all,

I am new to the Volvo world (had a 1991 240 sedan as my first car, but couldn't take it to college in upstate NY with its RWD). Now I will be getting a 2000 V70 XC. I don't listen to music much, but do listen to podcasts on my iPhone. I want to find a radio that will allow me to connect ...

Will a belly pan make the oil changes take longer?

Re: 2000 V70 XC SE want to purchase, but has problems?

Thank you for the information! I will look into these things when we have the title in our name.

I can't seem to find a belly pan/splash guard (preferably aluminum) on IPD that will fit a AWD V70. The one that fits the 850 is only listed as compatible with V70 that are FWD (http://www.ipdusa.com ...

Re: 2000 V70 XC SE want to purchase, but has problems?

Interesting "fix". It might work. But after reading more I suspect it might be the clutch, as it is cycling ever 15-30 seconds. And I mis-typed above, the mechanic it looked like the CONDENSER was leaking (as evidenced by the dye that had been injected a while ago). Would an almost empty condenser ...

Re: 2000 V70 XC SE want to purchase, but has problems?

-A/C doesn't work. Signs of leak (owner had it injected, but never brought it back to follow up). Possible compressor replacement (Volvo guy has used ones ...

Re: 2000 V70 XC SE want to purchase, but has problems?

It will be our 2nd car (we have a 2005 AWD Toyota Matrix also, and are trying to sell our 2007 Nissan Versa currently). Between our Matrix and Versa, the have 66k and 59k respectively, and we have owned them since their model years (new). So we put very little mileage on our cars, and that was with ...

Re: 2000 V70 XC SE want to purchase, but has problems?

Are the things that go wrong with this type of car easy to DIY? Could I teach myself how to do things that don't require a lift? I have no mechanical experience whatsoever, but I am a very fast and enthusiastic learner, so feel confident I could teach myself. I wouldn't touch major items, but things ...
