Okay definitely sounds like there is a brake problem, could be the master cylinder yes. Could the clear li=quid be brake fluid - did you check the level of that reservoir too? Maybe there is a leak at the MC.


It could be possible, I haven't checked the reservoir in a few days. Last time I was ...

Is the "pedal to the floor" only at engine start-up or is it throughout an entire drive? If the former, could be the brake vacuum switch. My brakes were very soft at engine start that it made pulling out of park quite scary, got better after running for 15 mins or so.

Most of the stuff on your list is very typical to fail by this mileage, but not the brake master cylinder. Make sure you get a second opinion on that one, it is very unusual for that to fail.


That's interesting. I had it towed to a shop about a mile from me (it's a reputable place with solid ...

I worked on my cars in gravel driveways and the side of the street for 20 years, only recently got a garage.

theres a lot of gold bricking in that estimate, they shouldn't charge for swapping out the strut and then charge more labor to swap the boot, they've already got the thing apart on the ...

Thanks for the info!

I don't really have a garage that's good for this type of thing, and I'd be starting almost from the ground up buying the necessary tools. It's almost at 200k miles and I am unsure if the timing belt was done before I bought it. I know I haven't done it. But that is another thing I will look into.

Hello All,

I own a 2002 V70 XC wagon (the 2.4 L turbo). It's almost at 200k miles and is in decent shape outside of a few issues. I had it sitting for a few months (long story) and now it's back on the road, so I'm trying to straighten out as much as I am able financially. I bought it used in 2015 ...

Greetings,

I'm in the market to purchase a pre-owned Volvo V70, XC70 or V60. From my initial search, my credit/budget has me looking for them in the range of 2012-2017 (searched in Carvana and Truecar). I'd prefer as new as possible though I am partial to the XC70 so it will probably have to be a ...

Greetings. This is my first post of probably many.

I'm a recent owner of a 2002 V70 XC. A minor issue has happened with the right center air vent on my dashboard. It's very specific to explain. Basically there is a little piece of metal inside of the vent just behind the flaps which keeps all of ...
