Re: Re-programming key fob

There's two things needed to get an engine to run.
Fuel and spark.
You're not getting gas..
If you were getting gas, and you know for sure you're getting spark, an explosion would happen in the cylinder.
Either you're not pumping fuel or the gas you have in the tank is so stale it just won't ...

Re: Re-programming key fob

No
Not the case.
The battery in the fob is for the remote buttons.
The key itself for starting the car uses a transponder chip. No battery required.
Oh, and don't buy anything key or fob related from eBay.. it will be a waste of money.
I've learned a lot about this recently as I just had two ...

Re: A/C Compressor Swap, PAG Oil, Drier, 2005 V70

My wife is going to kill me!!! Her seeing the car like that may trip her out....
I guess the bright side of taking the whole front clip off is I'll finally be able to change the tiny day bulb located in the drivers side headlamp!
I looked and I found the accumulator can as pictured. (not the ...

Re: New (old) V70! Give me your top 3 junkyard parts/tips-

A center console arm rest
Roof rails
A cargo cover
For me, the arm rest cover and the cargo cover were the great scores.
I picked up the roof rails as I thought I would like the feature, have yet to put them on though as I'm hesitant to change the look of the car.

Re: A/C Compressor Swap, PAG Oil, Drier, 2005 V70

Ok-Thanks for the straightforward replys thus far.
I'll take the compressor out from the bottom. I'll be using a set of car ramps.
Now, any advice or docs for removing the drier / accumulator???
Thanks again and thanks in advance!

Re: A/C Compressor Swap, PAG Oil, Drier, 2005 V70

Thanks for the replys so far!
(I hope your clutch job went well)
I read the PDF and gleaned that removing it from the bottom is recommended.
It might not work for me though. Between not being able to get the car high enough and post neck surgery, working from underneath might be out.
I really ...

A/C Compressor Swap, PAG Oil, Drier, 2005 V70

Hey Folks, been looking around for a while, first post to this forum.
I've got a non-turbo 2005 V70 2.4

This weekend (maybe the next) I'll be swapping out my A/C compressor. From the looks of things, it seems like the only thing out of the ordinary to do is pull the top radiator hose, as to clear ...
