DIM issue on a 2003 XC70 with 210k miles

Hey all, so I have a new fun thing happening to our XC70, the two DIM windows under tach and speed often start up blank, then after a bit they all fill in (odometer, temp, cruise) but it's frozen and updates every now and then... then after a bit of driving, maybe 10-15 minutes they all work and AOK...

Re: V70 2002 navigation can not read DVD

ok so update: did get it to go down eventually with the menu tip, thanks! I decided to disable the nav computer by pulling the power to, this also disabled it screen. I will leave computer in there until I get a chance to look at the diagnostics, if there are no codes I might remove it and nail it t...

Re: V70 2002 navigation can not read DVD

Oh yeah it does go down when I turn the car off, but as soon as I turn the car on the display comes up and says it can't play the DVD.... I'm hoping to have it stay down after a battery disconnect, but any curious fingers hitting any nav buttons will probably make it come up, and stay up while key's...

V70 2002 navigation can not read DVD

Hello all, so last weekend our trusted wagon finally had the navigation system "go out". when I hit the enter button it comes up saying "DVD can not be read". I remember having this issue years ago and did some reset process with the key but I forgot how and I've tried to find it...

Re: Who do you recommend for remanufactured or aftermarket CV axles?

I think that's a good idea, its not expensive and though messy it goes pretty quick. I got the kits from IPD to rebuild and went with cheap boots as my car has 200k+, I can do it again if I have to. In essence the thing is held together by the boot and I've heard some have had the inner side (pushes...

Re: Who do you recommend for remanufactured or aftermarket CV axles?

I've only had two different boots tear on my two cars. The first time I decided to replace with Cardone since they're cheap and I didn't know how much time I'd have to invest in rebuilding joints. The Cardone had bad vibration so I cleaned, repacked and put new boots on the original, a way better so...

Side mirror on a 2002 V70 Blue 2.4T

Hey all, so this morning I backed up too close to the pillar in my garage and wiped out the mirror on passenger side, great start to the day. The mirror busted and a black piece under the painted cover so I'm probably looking at replacing the full unit. I found some on eBay for other 02 P2 but curio...

Re: 2003 XC70 high pitch tone in rain, possibly ABS?

To be completely honest $55 was without tax but I didn't want to scare people.... I definitely plan to donate during fund drive as I done before, I don't think I've received the coveted donor badge but I'm hoping next time I'll make it, if there is such a badge still.

Re: Which alternator?

I replaced my alternator a while back and got a rebuilt from Auto Zone, they looked it up in their system and what I got was supposed to work for my V70 2002... it didn't, or at least the display said there was a problem with the charger. Voltage was OK but I didn't feel comfortable with it and digg...

Re: 2003 XC70 high pitch tone in rain, possibly ABS?

quick update: an exhaust shop did this in 30 minutes and it cost $55. they said there were definitely marks on the shaft from the resonator and that replacing it with straight pipe was a good idea. I don't know if the water squeal has been fixed but I have noticed that a small vibration sound while ...
