2007 C70 Radiator Removal?

I'm replacing the leaking radiator from our 2007 C70. I have found nowhere on the web what the procedure is. At this point I have the front fascia off, headlights out, splash shield under the radiator out, the four hoses (2 radiator, 2 intercooler) and the four bolts holding the radiator cradle are ...

Camshaft Position Sensor, '07 C70 T5. Where is it?

Can anyone post a pic or describe where the sensor is? I see the part online but haven't found anything resembling it on my engine yet.

Thanks,

ER

'07 C70, 15A fuse blows, where are these systems?

he 15A fuse, #35 in the engine bay fuse panel, continues to blow daily. Here are the systems it protects: 1. Engine sensor to valves (Camshaft position sensor?) 2. A/C relay 3. PTC element oil trap (???) 4. Charcoal filter (Canister purge valve?) 5. Air mass sensor (MAF?) I believe I've eliminated t...

'07 C70 AC and CEL

New to me '07 C70, running great, air conditioner ice cold. Until today. Went to move the car out of the driveway and noticed the CEL and a message on the display. Not verbatim but "Engine service required" or similar. Hmmm. Went to look it up in the manual but didn't see anything specific...

New to me '07 C70, Door Lock replacement

Monday I did a fly and drive of our new '07 C70. Eight hours behind the wheel and a couple of things need attention. It's a great car and our fifth Volvo. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0803/eroman/20160606_103135.jpg I need to replace the driver's door lock. It popped open to the half latched po...

C70. 2007 or 2008?

I have a choice of two C70s with 3,000 miles difference between them. A 2007 and a 2008. The only obvious difference I see are the consoles, with the '08 having a higher center console between the seats. Were there any significant updates between these years? I've read some about power steering retu...

Re: Advice considering 2009 S80 with 79K miles

I'm in the same boat. Looking at '07 - '10 S80 3.2 for my daughter and not finding a lot of information on living with the car if you're a DIY'er. Our current Volvo is an '08 V70 3.2 which we've had for less than a year. So far the issues are the in-dash key fob mechanism being reluctant to eject, c...

Re: 2007 s80 3.2

I too have owned a few Volvos in the past 15 years. 745T, 855T, 945T, and now an '08 V70 3.2. Comparing the 3.2 to my recently sold 220,000 mile 2.3l 855T is apples and oranges. I'm quite satisfied with the 3.2 V70 even with four adults, luggage and the dog in the back. As far as performance mods fo...

In Dash Start Module. Coded?

The in-dash FOB mechanism in my wife's 2008 V70 is becoming intermittent. Sometimes the start button won't work, sometimes it won't eject the FOB but only chatters, and it always chatters when inserting the FOB. A local Indy want's $750 to replace it, the dealer want's $550, and I found the new OEM ...

Re: Should I go from 2001 V70 to 2008+ V70?

After a lot of reading, web research etc, I've just made the jump to an '08 V70. We're retiring the '95 855t we've had for 13 years. Picking up the V70 this weekend. This will be our fourth Volvo wagon. Over the years we've had the 745T, 945T, 855T, and I'll be looking for a V50 for daughter's first...
