I place this topic in the "60" forum as this is the vehicle I seek advice. If there is a better forum section, please move as needed: I am operating a 2013 XC60 with OEM Square Profile load bars. I chose these as we already had a Thule bicycle roof setup for my 2000 V70XC and a Sears Sport...

Success... finally! Bad power steering reservoir. The internal pipe that connects to the small line at the top of the reservoir had separated off the brass tube and was rattling free inside the tank. I assume this allowed the system to gulp air and/or foam easily when the fluid heated up. New reserv...

OK... Got some garage time over this holiday break. A-B-A swap of the power steering pump with another unit (used), new fluid at proper level, hose clamps to the pump are tight... again, no leaks to be seen. Both pumps groan when the car gets to temperature. Since starting this thread I can say that...

Drawing the axle back in place with the longer bolt worked. Got the proper axle bolt in place, road tested. Tracks light was off immediately and remained off. ABS light cleared after the self-check at 15 mph. Looks like this one is in the books. Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

Axle Bolts arrived (I never buy just one of a small part... you just never know). A concern I was fretting while waiting on them arrived has proved to be true. The bolts are 65mm long... My axle has moved out of reach. Axle bolt won't even touch the axle. My idea raise the car then take a M10 x 90mm...

Thanks... I have a couple on the way now. Looks like a I get to treat myself to a new wrench.

Wow... This just gets more intriguing. Removed the front right wheel to inspect the ABS sensor indicated by my ABS module. As I readied the car to jack, I went to loosen the lugs. This morning, the front right wheel had no center cap and no axle bolt. I get the wheel off to go about my intended busi...

Thanks for all the responses... I got the car in August, prior owner had recently changed the reservoir... Hose clamps are all fine. Owners manual shows "ATF" as the proper fluid. Checking the reservoir I find 2 things. 1st, fluid level with a cold engine was above the hot fill line. I've ...

My 2000 V70 XC has been producing power steering noise with the following symptoms: 1) Steering seems to be fine in that there is no noticeable loss of power assist 2) System makes no noise from cold start, but after about 20-25 minutes into my daily commute it groans when steering left/right once t...

Still chasing this one. Matty Moo has been helpful to get me to where it seems like my issue is probably the front right ABS sensor. His rebuilt module did not rectify my problems and he kindly provided me the codes from my returned unit. Hopefully my rebuilt module is "bulletproof" now. H...
