BTW, sorry for my mis-spelling of Deoxit...

Yes, I understand this is a quite clever trick to use the cabin air, which should be either hotter than the outside air (in the winter) or cooler than outside air (in the summer, if you use A/C). However I'm no too sure putting ECM and TCM in a closed box was such a good idea, as these modules gener...

I' just back from my little 65 KM ride: no ABS panic messages nor transmission misbehavin' . I'm quietly shouting victory... time will tell, but I'd say it's another testimony for the De-Oxyt treatment...

My little outing has been postponed, so I can't tell for the moment if my actions have cured my problem. What I can say now is the "antenna ring" appears quite interchangeable between MY of the XC70: I have transplanted the one from my 2001 parts donor car in this 2006, and my code for sai...

I too am certain at this stage that the ECM manages this fan. The thing that bugs me is I have no way to actually test this fan-switching circuit... I was led there by this thread, which covers a similar situation of alerts thrown in certain temperature/humidity conditions https://www.matthewsvolvos...

Thanks for the reply! The inquiry is still on, it has made "some" progress: I have read somewhere, perhaps in VIDA, that the fan can be activated in VIDA... If so, I still haven't found where. What I found in VIDA is that the ECM detects and monitors the fan, and has a selection of codes r...

Hello! It's been a very long time since I posted here, as I had seven years of loyal, relatively trouble-free service out of my 2003 XC70. But I recently scrapped this car in an accident, so I now have a 2006 XC 70 that' s driving me nuts... There's a lot of trouble with what seems to be communicati...

Just to answer my own post, I have done work today towards this goal: I have installed switches in the blank switch spots on the climate control unit (really much more complicated than what I expected: these blanks are made to accomodate electronic switch modules that plug into the climate unit to s...

Hi there, I decided to take the position sensor off: it is constantly giving me trouble. I cannot figure out for the life of me how to unclip the damn clip that retains it. One member says: "I had a time with removing the sensor as well. There is a cir-clip that locks the unit in. The lock for ...
