2007 V70 Front Bumper Moulding Part #s

Looking to replace the front bumper moulding and chrome strip on a 2007 V70 2.5T.

See attached image. Does anyone know the part #s? Is the moulding color coded?

Thanks -

Re: Timing belt replacement 2007 v70

On the other side, I'd make sure to give the car some action now and then - not necessarily redline, but certainly above 4000 rpm. This will have the oil circulate on different passages inside the VVT hub, along with actuating the VVT solenoids, etc. These engines do need to see some action on a re...

Re: 2004 S60 - New Remote Key

Thanks for all the replies! I’ll need to settle for the valet key option. Considering this is a 14-year old car, it would be hard to justify the expense for a new remote. I called the dealership yesterday and they quoted me $215 for the valet key. :( I purchased the Valet key from https://www.myswe...

Re: Ignition Coil Lifespan

When a coil is failing , does it trigger a check engine light and log which cylinder? Two folks I know are dealing with intermittent misfiring issues on their high mileage V70s. They shop has indicated this is 99% due to ignition coils but there's no way to determine which coil is going bad until it...

Ignition Coil Lifespan

After reading a couple of recent posts involving engine coils, I'm curious ... what is the lifespan of these coils? I don't see anywhere in the car's maintenance schedule (2007 V70 2.5T) where they are replaced, even during a major service. Is it a waste of money to proactively swap when spark plugs...

Re: Leak in Front Passenger Footwell, How to Remove Carpet?

Had the exact issue with my '07 V70 ... after a heavy rain traces (not flooding) of water on top of the carpet in the rear corner of the passenger foot well. Take a look at this other video - under the cowl on the passenger side there is a "cap" over the area where fresh air is drawn into ...

Can anyone point me to a diagram, video or share the process of removing the big plastic cowl that sits at the base of the windshield?

Re: Roof Bars: S60 vs V70

I just received a note from IPd ... close but no cigar. Yes, the "feet" are the same but there is a difference in bars.
At least that's good to know. To bad it's not as simple as the 850's (sedan or wagon) or even the earlier P80 S/V/XC/C70's
