Re: part removal query

Thank you jonesg. I did not make myself clear -- I seek to replace the metal tubes into which the triangular interior trim piece snaps; I do not want to do anything with the side mirror. Are you saying the mirror has to be removed to remove the metal tubes?

part removal query

I replaced the passenger side front door lock assembly on a 2005 V70 yesterday. On reassembly found the triangular plastic cover over the side view mirror bolts (interior cover) has 2 of 3 pins broken off, and the door itself is missing one of the three metal tubes that the cover pins snap into. I w...

Bosch starters Warning

The starter on my wife's 2007 S60 2.5T died. I ordered a remanufactured Bosch #3600 3222 from FCPEuro. New ones were not available. The replacement starter did not work. FCP was very good about sending a second, and then a third. Yep, 2 out of 3 Bosch starters were defective. Our mechanic was nice e...

Re: weatherstripping issues

Thanks for the responses. Think I'll go to the local Volvo dealer and say, "I'm thinking of buying a new Volvo, but what assurance do I have that the weatherstripping will last?" See what they say ...

weatherstripping issues

On my 2005 V70, and my wife's 2007 S60, the weatherstripping around the windshields is deteriorating badly. I have begun looking at other Volvos -- older and newer -- and don't see this problem. Was there a weakness in the mid-00's weatherstripping material or design? I see that newer Volvos don't h...

disconnect headlamp washer spray?

After annual inspection, was told our 2007 S60 headlamps would not pass next year because of lack of clarity. I used one of the after-market "kits" and the plastic lenses look good. My local independent Volvo mechanic says that the spray from the headlamp washers is too strong and may wear...

radio unit switches from CD to FM

On another thread, a member writes, "The issue with the existing radio is not stickiness, but that it randomly changes stations or even inputs." I have a similar problem -- the HU-650 unit in my 2005 V70 will stop playing a CD and change over to FM at random moments. Any suggestions would ...

Re: Independent Atlanta area shops?

"the issue with the existing radio is not stickiness, but that it randomly changes stations or even inputs."

I have been having the same problem with my 2005 V70 -- the unit stops playing a CD and switches to FM radio. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Re: 2005 V70 headlamp short query

I took the bulb and socket out and found that there were burn marks on the contact blades. I thank the previous respondents but again ask, has anyone had experience with a Volvo wiring harness that splices in and presumably solves this issue? Many thanks.
