Doug,

Pull a Carfax on it. It might say whether the timing belt was changed, in addition to other things.

Carfax is far from foolproof and should never be relied upon 100%, but it does provide certain info that could be helpful.

I'll try that. Thank you.

I'm a Newbie here . . . couldn't find anything on this on Search. It's for a 2002 V70. The keypad stopped working. I tried changing the battery, no help.

Have you unbolted the lock barrel and withdrawn it from the door?

No. Is that what's necessary?

Yeah .. hey there Jones g...my key cylinder on the driver's door needed to be replaced... I went to scrapyard and replaced the entire Assy for door ( S70 or v70 same cel central locking system...1key door and another for everything else...get key with lock from salvage just plug in ... no software ...

Thanks, but I already saw that video. It's different on the '99 than the '02.

The key just turns the cylinder round and round. Doesn't engage the door lock. I took the panel off and see that the linkage to the lock cylinder was not attached, but couldn't figure out how to re-attach it. It's a small area mostly covered by the sheet metal of the door. Very hard to access. Anyon...
