Thank you very much for all the replies and information! Sorry was offline for most of the day yesterday.

We've got some things that have come up so I'm a little worried this one will be gone by the time I can get out there to look at it, but nonetheless these cars are on my list of things I'm ...

Well, I'm sad to say that my 01 V70, which I love, has developed gear cluster bearing noise, and everyone I've talked to says I'm looking at $2500 to 3K for a repair bill. It's very much driveable, and as long as I don't coast in gears 2, 3, or 4 I can't hear the noise, but I know it's gonna get ...

next week Im in another country, but I could ship it via USPS to try.


Thank you very much!! PM Sent!




When you say ETM are you referring to what some call the throttle body? Just want to make sure.

Yep, sorry!




Can you grab a mirror, if you don't already know, and see who makes the ...

Wow thanks a lot! I'm in Bethlehem, and very wiling to take a reasonable drive to pick it up or pay for speedy shipping - please let me know. If it works I'd be happy to buy it from you, unless you are keeping it intentionally for a rainy day.

Carfax reports my car as "Greygold Metallic" when originally purchased - but I ...

my bad... that's not the speaker (thank god, since it is riveted in).



Oh bad news for me - my front door passenger side speaker sounds blown, was hoping to easily replace it when I finally dig in to investigate why my window on the same door will no longer go down.

How is the process to ...

Hah, looks like you posted while I was composing mine oragex. Thanks for the vid - as I said I definitely DON'T have that piece. I'll look into getting it. Thank you!

Thanks very much for the input.

I had already done the intentional low speed turns, and what had me worried was that turning left cleared up and got smooth almost immediately but turning right still had that shuddering feedback. *However*, I think you are right regarding the air. I took that car ...

So, yesterday when I went to take my son to school (about 1 mile away) I noted halfway there that I had what sounded (and increasingly felt) like a power steering pump problem.

Dropped him off, got home, saw a decent sized puddle in the driveway with a trail from where I backed out.
