Thanks abscate...I will take a look but I don't recall seeing this on the lights. I did a search online and it looks like there was a recall....the extra wire is used to drop the voltage down to closer to 12v using the resistance of the wire. I think (hope) that my voltage protector will serve the ...

On my v70 (2003) it's just in front of the rear wheel on the drivers side (RH drive)....mine just unscrewed like an oil filter...could be reached without jacking up the car and took about 2 minutes....but when I ordered the filter there were two types available so I bought both....did the job ...

OK - ignore everything I said in my previous post regarding the alternator. Got in my v70...turned the key and got the dreaded bulb failure again....the bulbs were new in Jan this year...both bulbs on the front went out! The car is used a lot for short trips so I had the thought that maybe the cause ...

I had the same problem for quite a while....without doing anything different it just stopped happening all on it's own. When it was annoying me I read somewhere on line that it could be due to voltage spikes...actually I lied I did change the alternator a while ago so maybe that fixed it! When it ...

Might have cleaned all the gunk in the tank? Personally given the cost and ease I would maybe swap out the filter again just to be sure. I think when my filter blocked the car maybe thought the drop in pressure was caused by a catastrophic fuel leak and the safety shutoff was kicking in. That might ...

Hi....just to report back. I swapped the pump out today and now my steering is silky smooth...with the fluid swap it was a lot better with less pulsing but now with the new pump it is totally smooth from lock to lock....lets hope it stays that way. The pump swap is very easy....well once you notice ...

When this happened to me it was the fuel filter....but I also assumed it was the MAF! Only thing I can think of is a blockage between the tank and the filter if the filter has been changed..maybe there is a way to back flush the pipe....I've never tried though. When my filter blocked I had run the ...

Cheers oragex...yea I though the same. Started with the sunroof as that was nice and easy....then moved to the screen and removed the rubber mouldings...still no joy. In the end I put a hose on the roof and that revealed a 1 inch tear in the top corner of the door rubber....I was just so surprised ...

Had the brakes done at a local "volvo specialist"...they used genuine volvo parts...I think from memory the brakes and service came to 1.5k and the DMF was also 1.5k...so 3k (not 2k). I was using the car a lot as I was commuting so couldn't afford not to have a car that worked! When the BCM packed ...

Ahhh...been here myself...my V70 D5 had done about 120k and I'd just sunk 2k into it on brake overhaul and replacement of the DMF. I decided to keep the car thinking the worst was behind me....it's now got 150k....and yes I've been sinking money into it ever since. I've lost count of the spend to be ...
