Re: Check Engine light

I have the blinking arrow of death but the car is still (mostly) operational. I had transmission issues about a year ago. I commute in the car daily. The car is great otherwise. I do need to get an estimate for the repair work but I suspect it will exceed the value of the vehicle. Volvo V70 year 200...

Re: 2000 V70 Sometimes won't start

No codes on the vehicle.

Can you further explain vacuum leaks and ETB? What are they and how do I troubleshoot these issues?

2000 V70 Sometimes won't start

I have an issue with my V70 sometimes not starting. I had the battery checked and it was fine. Also, the car idles low when I come to a stop. I don't know if these 2 issues are connected. (Maybe a fuel line issue?) I have a video of the car not starting. You can hear the engine better on the second ...

Re: 2000 V70 struts - This manufacturer good?

Ok, I went with the Gabriel struts. It was a tough decision. I'll respond to this post again after I put some miles on the car. I have a longer commute - 400 miles per week so that's about 20k per year. It will be a good test for these struts. California roads with some rural driving. Thanks all for...

2000 v70 Serpentine belt-tool needed?

I am replacing my timing belt and I figure I should do the serpentine belt at the same time.

1. Do I need a special tool to install the serpentine belt?

2. How many miles between when the serpentine belt should be replaced?

Thanks!!

Re: 2000 V70 struts - This manufacturer good?

Thank you for the responses.

Am I correct in assuming that I do not need the comes with strut mounts or spring seats?

I ask because I think I'm due for a full replacement of the strut assembly.
