Thanks bronco! Lucky for me I noticed the leak before total bleed out. I had recently replaced the pcv system, which involved working in tight spaces. I'm pretty sure the leak started because of me pushing my hand against that hose, but there was no other way to do that job. I'm also on high alert ...

Thank you both and thank you erikv11 for the links. Very helpful!

Hello! I've got a leaking oil cooler hose and am balking at the replacement cost. I am looking into crimping some new ones for myself but not sure what kind of crimping kit to buy for this. Has anyone taken this route and if so, what do you recommend? I would like to get something that I can use for ...

Hello out there! Can someone please give me some advice on how to install the upstream 02 sensor on my '98 xc70 turbo? It was hard enough getting the old one out. I feel like I might need to tear out a bunch of stuff to get the new in. It would be great to hear from people who have done this job and ...

Been a while but I wanted to share what finally ended the clunky shifting problem. Since the car was new to me I decided to change the transmission fluid. I did the fluid change as per the IPD instructions and after that the clunk was gone. I'm pretty sure it had never been changed, as what came out ...

Thanks for the directions to change the fuel filter. Very helpful! It is a PITA, for just a filter change, but I tried a few things that made it a little more bearable. I was able to do the job without crawling under the car. One can gain better access to the front fuel hose connector by removing a ...

Hello, I'm hoping someone can tell me how to turn off the check engine light on my '98 V70XC. A Youtube video from IPD shows them plugging in a small device into the OBDII scanner port to turn it off. They said the device is very hard to come by now. Anyone know where to get one of these or know ...

Forgot one thing: does anyone know how to turn off the check engine light on this model? Can I use the "erase codes" function on my code scanner to turn it off, or is that asking for trouble? Thanks!

I'm still trying to track down the mysterious clunk, which is mostly noticeable at highway speeds. I have inspected all the rubber bushes and mounts that I can find and all appears OK. I replaced the upper engine torque mount, as it was a goner. The rubber ends of the main drive shaft look fine as ...

I just replaced the tstat on my V70 XC. Had the same symptom you described, taking too long to get up to temp. One of the brass support arms on the tstat was actually broken, causing the spring to bend and force the thing open. I decided to save the money and not replace the coolant temp sensor, and ...
