Activate right rear fog light 2001 V70xc

I want to use that fog light. Is there a wire or socket already there? Has anyone done this? When it's real foggy I want to be seen.

Re: 2006 XC70 Black/Oak 3rd seat 105K miles, nice

I'm in love. Another black car. I just left my 1990 Audi behind, when i moved back to south western Idaho. Unfortunately I need to wait a couple more months, to build my wallet. You have done a beautiful job in getting this car ready for a new home. If it is still around,I will be in touch. Mr. Walrus

Re: Geartronic "W" button by shifter

Thanks for the input. I was a little apprehensive at prying old plastic, so I got my can of Rem Oil and sprayed around the button. 30 seconds later and a little movement is noticed. A short time and I applied another shot around the button. Now when I touch the button, it moves up and down. Rem Oil ...

Geartronic "W" button by shifter

My button acts like it is stuck in the down position. No movement up or down, at all. I see no indication on the dash or led in the button. So do I try and pull it up?

Re: Where do I go from here, 2001 v70xc?

I found a 2005 with 160K. Looks very good. Good leather. My concern is the transmission. I know Volvo had problems. BTW engine is B5254T2, AWD.
Price is 5,000. I haven't seen it in person.
Opinions?

Where do I go from here, 2001 v70xc?

This is my son's car and Pops gets to use it. I worry about the transmission, etc. I want my own volvo. I'm not fussy, but I want AWD, some horsepower and a good average milage. No picky on model, price 7-10K. What do you guys think? All suggestions welcome. I'm 70, so impressing chicks, blah.

Oxygen sensor or sensors

Does my V70 xc B5244T3 use 1 or 2 sensors? Does Bosch make a generic sensor w/connector for this engine? Aftermarkets are very expensive.

Recommended spark plug for B5244T3 engine

I see four different plugs listed in a auto parts store. This is for a daily driver. Is there a vast differance between Iridium and laser Iridium?
