I too can't wait until I figure this one out... Yes I did check that the axles had not popped out from the CV joints. misha, are you recommending that I remove the boot covering the CV joint and do a detailed inspection? I would have thought that applying the brakes and engaging Drive and Reverse wh...

I have pulled out both LH and RH axles and could not see any problems. No spline damage, not blobs of grease, no broken or disconnected axles. The boots etc were replaced about 18 months ago. Carrier bearing on the RH side is fine. Short of an axle breaking there was no way that either axle could po...

My 1997 Volvo V70 has an OBDII socket mounted in the console between the front seats. I have searched the internet but am getting confused messages as to 1/ How to read the codes and 2/ What the codes mean. Here's what I've done so far. Connected a simple LED Pushbutton arrangement to the following ...

Car is RH drive. Have removed left hand axle and cannot see any damage. The axle was securely seated into the transmission and into the hub.
I will now take a look at the PNP switch.

Discovered that transmission working again after I fiddled with the LH & RH wheels. Just turned them by hand and decided to give the car a try up and down the driveway. Took car for a test drive on Thursday March 16. LH & RH turns, up and down through gears, hard accelerations and over a few...

Let me see if I can make some clearer statements. When the problem reoccurred last night there was no noise. I just drifted around the corner to a stop. Felt like the car was in neutral. When I tried to put shift to Park there was a grinding noise, like gears meshing - this only occurs when moving f...

Thanks 'The Wifes_S70'. Where can I find out just what these parts do? I am still puzzled why when trying to select Park there is a grinding noise and vibration in the drive selector. The noise reminds me of trying to change a manual gearbox without pushing in the clutch. This noise and vibration on...

I think my Volvo is haunted. I just removed the jacks and did a short (few metres) drive up and down the driveway. All seems to be working ok and no grinding when I put selector to Park. Park also immobilises the car which it didn't before. Apart from a look underneath and fiddling with turning whee...

Ok, here's the latest information. Have checked that the drive selector does move the transmission selector. There is no cable break or loose connections. The drive selector moves the transmission selector over the full range. Here's the current scenario:- 1/ Volvo up on jacks. Engine off. 2/ In Par...
