Thanks. Yes I did order the OEM parts. Hopefully they'll arrive in a day or so.

It looks like it's the ECT sensor. It measures >6K ohms at both 0 deg C and 20 deg C.
Thanks for the help! I appreciate it.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm glad that there's an explanation that makes sense. I found the resistance chart
and will check it.

Hi Everyone. I can use some help. I have a 2000 V70 XC with 202,000 miles. I experienced a sudden difficulty starting (long normal sounding cranking, starts after several tries) along with a CEL.

Just realized that those part numbers were replaced by another. But another question. Replacing all of the parts, including the cable, with OEM parts looks like it will run almost $200 per side. Are there non OEM parts out there that are worth buying?

They are now advocating a full flush with JWS 3309 in all of these AW 50-42 transmissions, even high mileage ones like mine. Their philosophy changed ...

Yes, they are both the same 4 spd transmission

Pretty new to this forum. I have a 2000 V70XC with 180,000 miles. The ATF has been flushed at a Volvo dealer at 35, 70, 110, and 145K with Dexron III, is still clean and pink, and shifts smoothly. I also just purchased a 1999 V70XC with 57,000 miles privately, with a history of a transmission flush ...
