The lock on the fuel filler door should lock a few minutes after locking the car. (To allow you to fill-up after locking your car at the gas station.) My s60 is about the same vintage as your v70, when the filler lock stopped working it was because things had got a bit sticky with age. Removing the ...

Who made Volvo's original exhaust systems in north-west Europe (UK) around the turn of the century? The original system on my 2002 S60 lasted for 12 years. I had the rear box/muffler replaced in 2014, I think that's gone rotten now after only 5-years*! I feel it's probably worth replacing the whole ...

A buddy has a 2007 Camry. He's been using a lot of oil. Mechanic says he's got a problem with the pistons, but the mechanic isn't more specific than that. Producing black exhaust smoke and using a quart of Mobil 1 to 800 miles of travel. Diminished power is another symptom. Possible he's just deali...

No, I'm afraid not. It's possible to reset the head unit by removing one of the connectors on the back of it and then reinserting it again. I did this myself and it would work for a couple of weeks, then fail again. I've now removed the mp3 player and have had to buy a stack of blank CDRs. I've pull...

The internal CD player in the HU-803 head unit has disappeared from the menu leaving only the AM and FM radio bands. It still allows CDs to be inserted and ejects them so I don't think it's jammed, but I can't select it as a source. This has happened a number of times over the past year, but after l...

Finally, closure. The CVVT solenoid that I fitted in August was faulty! It had an internal short to ground, but only when it was hot. When cold, it behaved correctly, but as the engine came up to temperature it would self activate, driving the cam timing to fully advanced. As the control pin was alm...

Hi again, Replaced the solenoid and wired in a few weeks ago with a pattern part. Now I'm seeing P0014 DTC (cam timing over advanced) with increasing frequency, I reset each time. I've seen a pending P0013 once (open circuit on VVT solenoid). I've just checked the resistance of the solenoid when col...

A fortnight ago I got a p1332 OBD-II code. I cleared it and 120miles later it's come back. I understand that this code is often the result of a bad CVVT valve/solenoid or dodgy valve timing. Both times the code was reported when the engine was at idle speed. After the first instance, I took the timi...

Googling for 19052 leads to a "Cell Radio Accessory" on E-bay. Probably a '90s in-car cell-phone.

Ooooo. Looks like a removable part without any gluing, (part on E-bay. 16 GBP)
