How long has yours been making noise ADent? Have you swapped the transmissions yet and are you going to open up the noisy one to see what was causing it?

So I've got a 2004 V70 with the T5 and manual transmission (M56LK) that recently started making noise in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. The car has 275,000 miles on it and the clutch is still very strong. I drive fairly gently and rarely shift gears quickly. The noise started about 2000 miles ago and I recently...

Update: My leak was between the thermostat housing and the cylinder head. When I installed the new housing, I didn't torque the bottom bolt (yeah, the one you can't see or reach) properly. I put a new gasket on it (as well as a little threebond 1211) and torqued it down. Dry as a bone now.

It drips off the oil filter housing and front of engine oil pain at a rate of 1 drop every 2 seconds when the engine is running. I just replaced the entire thermostat housing about 5 days ago, but just like the...

From the parts diagram, it looks as if the filler neck stays with the tank during removal. That makes me wonder in if the rear subframe has to come out or not? Ma...

Well, the car has 245,000 miles on it so anything warranty related I think is long gone. I've got the records from the previous owner, so your idea of contacting the repair shop sounds good. I was kind of curious to see if anyone knew of 'common' leak points on the steel tanks like this. It looks li...

First post here fellas. I just picked up a 2004 V70 2.4 non turbo. The previous owner mentioned it had a leaky fuel tank, but it wasn't leaking when I checked it out (it had slightly more than 1/2 tank of gas in it). I drove it 150 miles until the low fuel light came on. That was over a period of 4 ...
