Re: XC70 - Front headlights swap

Hi everybody! My front lens on the right is showing age and has gone all blurry. I can try to polish it and hope for the best, however, I was wondering if the v70 (2001) lenses would fit (they are glass) The 2001 may not fit. You can search the part number and map it for fitment; try this https://w...

Re: XC70 - Front headlights swap

The glass headlights pre '05 will not fit. I've had good results making plastic headlights look new by wet sanding with 800-1000-1500-2000 grit sandpaper in that order followed by power polishing with a cut and polish like Meguiars or 3M. Noted, thanks! I will try to polish them as you suggest, do ...

Re: Maintenance

Before you think the pump is bad, make sure you have the correct Pentosin fluid - it's a shade of green A pump can make noise - loose hose or wrong fluid, it can also leak a little near the pulley - not a problem If the steering is heavy, there are many things that need inspected before looking at ...

Re: 2004 Xc70 cross country. Headlamps need to replace bulb.. how

The bumper comes off easily, there are 2 bolts in the front that are hidden behind 2 square trim pieces, then there are 2 screws by the fenders that remove the locking mechanism. Removing those 4 will let you remove the bumper. However, If you have skinny arms and long fingers, you can do it without...

Re: Best option for 2006 Volvo XC70 Tire replacement

Not sure on what type of driving you do. However if its a mix of road and gravel I can vouch for TOYO open country 2. I've been driving them in all seasons and have not had any issues. They are not strictly road tires and do well on gravel. Also in cold condition and snow, providing your AWD is work...

Re: 2006 XC70 Cruise Control not working

I'd check again what Rick said. Can quite possibly be the brake pedal switch. I think its under the actual brake pedal itself, and from what I read, is an absolute pain to get to. I wouldn't take out the cruise control module itself just yet, as there is literally not much that can go wrong with it,...

Maintenance

Hi everybody. I need to service some parts under the hood, nothing major. Just wanted some advice from you guys. 1. The power steering pump is on the way out. I am sure I will be capable of doing the job. However can someone point me to a replacement pump? The OEM is just too pricey. Is Bosch the OE...
