reading fault code readings
Per advice at this forum (thanks. everybody) I'll take my 2000 V70XC to my nearest dealer (Pittsburgh) for computer analysis, so I can better prioritize my work in getting the car back to perfection. What can I expect at the dealer? Will he be at least semi-happy to do this for me, even though I'm not buying repair work? What will he give me, some standard-formatted readout? Will it be understandable? Do I need to tell him what symptoms and suspicions I have, or will he automatically do some sort of global analysis? Will I need to chat with a tech, or will all my Q's be answered on the document he gives me?

If you have a check engine light, any place (Autozone, NAPA, Advance) can read (general) codes for you.
If you're just going to the get car looked over and looking for any problem areas, ask them to put it up on a lift and look under it, check for any codes, etc. Tell them you want a list of all codes and descriptions. Most of the service managers are pretty friendly in my experience, and they hand off the instructions to the mechanics.

A learning experience is one of those things that says, "You know that thing you just did? Don't do that."
