Re: volvo/dice from china
Hi marshallh, I ordered one a few weeks back which came with a 2013A VIDA. Unfortunately, I could not get it to install correctly. Log file keeps showing that it could not access the SQL. Can you tell me what windows version and other software you used to get it to install correctly? I tried the fol...

2002 XC70 Hood release cable broke
Hi, a few weeks back, when I was opening the hood, the cable broke at the lever located on the driver side. I can still open it by using a long nose pliers. My question is: has this happened to anyone here and how hard or easy is it to replace. I found the replacement part already, but I'm just a li...

Re: 2001 T5: Let's talk valve bodies and tranmissions
I can't find the link where others have mentioned it, but I think it was on Howards Volvo Maintenance. That also offers a lot of information. I think that my problem was more than just the transmission, but it shows LIKE a transmission problem. First is when changing gears from reverse to drive or f...

Re: 2002 XC70 Very rough idling in the morning (COLD)
Problem SOLVED. Just to update this, I waited more than a week to be sure. I replaced the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor which was chinese made. Put a Bosch (made in Germany) and it fixed my rough idling problem. My wife has been driving it for over a week with no problem in the morning. Just as I state...

Re: 2001 T5: Let's talk valve bodies and tranmissions
I had the same problem as you have described. Basically transmission shift is rough going from 2-3 or 3-4, engine races between down shifting especially 4-3 (I think), and going from reverse to drive causes a huge engine revving and then transmission would engage resulting in the car jerking forward...

Re: 2002 XC70 Very rough idling in the morning (COLD)
Thanks for the reply. Quick question: do you think the clogged PCV is causing the rough idling when the engine is cold?
Yes, I've been meaning to replace this, but it's a HUGE job from what I've read. (I thought removing/cleaning the ETM was tough).

2002 XC70 Very rough idling in the morning (COLD)
A few days ago my wife complained of a burning odor coming from her 2002 XC70 which has only 107k miles. I can't really figure out where it is coming from, but I think it is more like a fluid odor (like oil). Anyway, the car then started idling very rough in the mornings for about 5-10 minutes UNTIL...
