Thanks for all the responses. I'm wildy speculating right now but it might be the turbo itself causing these problems as I've seen there's an oil leak coming from the turbo, but it will definitely not hurt changing all the vacuum lines. Though the turbo doesn't make any bad noises, wheezing for ...

Hello folks,

I'm planning to replace all of the vacuum lines on my S70 turbo model with (black, very important :lol: ) silicone vacuum lines but I don't know what sizes to buy.

Can someone tell me what sizes I need? Inner and outer diameter.

(I'm overhauling the turbo system because it sometimes ...

Thanks for all the replies. :) I didn't know the US market didn't get the V70 T6? I was thinking of getting a T6 model year 08-> with about 100 000 miles / 160 000 km on the clock. I'd like an estate with some power under the hood but I don't want to pay a fortune for maintenance ( because then I ...

Hello,

I'm looking into buying an V70 T6, preferably a R-Design, is there anything I should look out for? Are the gearboxes known to fail? Or should I rather get a manual 2003-2007 V70 R? Or are both money pits?

(I'm currently driving an S80 V8).

Thanks

I'm going to try to amplify the receiver in the car, I just need to know exactly which unit it is I'm looking for. Not that I'm opening the wrong unit. It's hard to find out as it seems that not so many people have done this operation?

Transmitter chips fail over time. It is why WIFI gets poorer in your house over time. It also affects cell phones and any other device that use transmitters. It may help to amplify the receiver as it is un-likely you can improve the transmitter in the fob. I'm not sure with the European versions as ...

If the euro version is the same as US, it's on top of the cluster.
There's no external antenna. Even if there was, extending the
antenna isn't going to fix a receiver with problems.


I was thinking of opening the unit and clean plus resolder, and extending, the antenna inside the unit for better ...

I'm assuming the transmitters aren't at fault here as they both have new batteries in them and are equally bad when it comes to range. I have to hold them about 1 inch from the glass to make them lock/unlock the car.

Hello people,

I have a problem with my S70s remote locking range. I can just lock the car if I have the remote just next to the drivers door or next to the windshield. I've tried by changing batteries in the remote but it didn't help.

Is there any way of increasing the range/reception of the ...
