This is a problem on my 2 yr old V70 bi-fuel of entire system failure whilst driving - this takes place at about 20 to 25 mph in LPG mode and causes the engine to cut out, loss of brakes and loss of powerstreering. I believe this is a very dangerous design fault in either my particular V70 or the LPG system as a whole.

I don't want to go into my history so far with Volvo on this...

Hello,

I have a 2001 V70 with an HU-413 stereo installed (w/Seeering wheel controls). I purchased a used HU-613 and was going to simply replace the HU-413 with it, but then I read on another forum that it may require a software upgrade (VADIS Download?). I appreciate it if anyone could share theur knowledge on whether or not the HU-613 would work and whether or not I'd need a...

Can anyone help?

I have a xc70 2000 yr 2nd generation model.
Its sunroof is stuck in the vent position and will not close. My local volvo dealer says it is a wiring fault from the codes they have read! They are quoting me 6 hours of labour to fix it approx £700 without parts. I have asked them to manually close it as it is rarely used and i want to fix it at a later date. But...

Hi All,
Congratulations on a great site...

I have an issue with my air con and wondered if anyone knows what it may be.
When the air con is turned on the flow through the two passenger vents (left hand side) is far colder than the drivers side (right hand drive).

Is there a way to reset the air con or could it be a temp sensor?
Look forward to any help you may...

I have a 2002 xc70. I also have a couple of motorcycles I'd like to tow in an aluminum trailer, but some say that, at 2000 pounds, and thru western mountains, it will hurt the Automatic transition.
Any comments to that?

New to the site!

Trying to help my son with a heater problem on his 2001 V70 T5.

Auto heater setting blows cold. Works fine in manual

Any suggestions? Dealer suggests computer replacement!

After riding my Volvo V70 AWD (1998) 2.4l with the light pressure turbo for three months I have found it does not have the same "kick" in it as my old Volvo 855T5 (1995).
For the 855 2.3l there's a turbo replacement unit made by Mitsubishi. Which improves the breathing and respons. Is there any similar replacement for the Volvo V70 with the light pressure turbo?
I want some...

I have a V70 D5 Auto and it is intermittently smoking (alot). It seems to be most noticeable between 1500 and 2500 revs and the revs flutter when it happens. It is OK if you rev hard or idle and does not appear to loosing power except when the revs flutter. Been serviced but it is still happening. Any ideas?

Thanks

We have a 2002 V70 T5 with an integrated GSM phone. We have bought a SIM card for it and when we insert it in the phone and turn it on we get the "Please Wait" message. can't seem to get it to start up. The technician thinks it might be a faulty control module (replacement cost $3000 NZD so not going there!) but we're wondering if the SIM card needs to be registered...

Did anybody get a letter from Volvo yet regarding them reimbursing dealers and people who already had their ETM replaced???

Alan

It's coming but l don't know if the dealers were notified yet.

Hello I just bought my first Volvo a 2001 V70 XC I like it alot I just have a few problems.

1. My interior dome lights turn on when I open the door to get in and out. But they won't turn on when I push the button to turn them on while I am driving or parked.

2. I have no backlight behind one of the knobs on the dash that controls the heat temp so makes it hard to see at...

My next accessory additon will be purchasing a set of load bars. Not sure which route to go, Volvo or aftermarket i.e., Thule etc.

Hi All!
I'm a new member. I have a 2003 model year V70 D5 and I need help.

I have a 2002 V70 2.4 (not turbo). The Rear door locks and Fuel gage seem to go off line intermittently. Locks will not respond to the key fob and when running the car fuel gage reads empty and fuel light is on. Also noticed that the wiper in the rear was also not working. Have searched the forum and noticed that this has happened to a few people in the past. Problem started when the weather...

Thanks!

Gremlins seem to have been duly exorcised, and hey, isn't the pope in town too? Then the sunroof glass got shattered (don't ask). Can anybody clue me in to where I might get new glass short of the dealer, and how hard it is to replace? A quick google search led me to think this is not the kind of part that often needs replacement, and there does not seem to be much of an aftermarket for...

Has anyone here had to replace or knows how to remove the climate control panel to replace what seems to be one bulb? Left side lights up fine, center and right temp control does not light up.

Any help on how to remove this panel without doing damage would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Ted

Hello,
This is my first post here and i need some tech. help. I just installed an new timing belt, plugs and oil change on my 02 V70 T5. Tested car around the block- ran great, no faults. Drove to work the next day, again no problems. On the way home i accelerated hard to see how the pick up was. It pulled hard as usual but i got a check engine fault. Hooked up the ODBII and got a crank...

Hey all,

I'm new to the forum and am looking for some help. I did a search here and on other sites and can't seem to find the answer to this.

I just bought a 2006 V70 2.4i manual. I got a smokin' deal and I love the car (although at this point I'd prefer the R, that might come later). I've also got a 2006 S40 which I love (that lead to me buying the...

I have been reading in several of the Volvo forums about faulty fuel pump assemblies. (Leaking and gas odor.) I read somewhere that putting an epoxy in the “cavities” will cure the problem. I did this and it wasn’t a cure but a I mild fix. It slowed down the leak but hasn’t stopped it…. Plus the fuel line loses fuel pressure over time and it makes the car harder to start. (Still turns over but ya...

Hi, I just bought many parts to repair my 2001 V70 2.4T (I have to change the ECU and the wiring harness) so the guy sent me also a part called CEM that I have to replace to fit with the ECU... the problem is I just can't locate the old CEM... I tought it was under the dash (near the driver's door) but the part that I have there is quite different and I found it is called a CMA2 on a...

Bought my 2002/52 D5 volvo V70 in 2004 at 85000 miles. Problems with the driver info module (DIM) started in 2005; Volvo said car was out of warranty and problem would cost megabucks to fix.
Basically all guages go off warning lights all on. Then works fine again. Flashes like this every 7 sec. Problem was intermittent at first, the got worse until doing it all the time.

I had a replacement key provided to us recently from our local Volvo delaer when we purchased this used 2005 Volvo Xc70 last week. We were told the other key was lost or not turned in from the prior owner.

THE PROBLEM
The key locls/unlocks the car and starts and runs the car. My problem is that I cannot store the drivers seat/exterior mirror settings as does the other (orginal...

Help!

Got a laundry list from my service center for our ’01/V70/T5 with 73,000 miles. We need help prioritizing the list and some aspirin!

• Upper Torque mount broken
• Front Motor mount broken
• Rear Front control arm
• Front and rear bushings
• UEM Module
• Turbo drain seal leaking
• Front trans. Pan leaking
• Rear exhaust hanger...

Has anyone else experienced or diagnosed this?

What happens is I'll be driving with the A/C on, and shut the car off when I get home. I come outside later to hear the heater/A/C fan running. If I key on and key off again, it seems to go away.

It's not a huge deal, but I'm afraid some day it will kill the battery.

Any input is appreciated.

The air conditioner / heater system in my 2004 XC70 developed a moldy odor during the summer months. Now, after four months of heater-only winter driving, it still smells! Any suggestions on the proper clean-out of the residual mold? And, how to prevent a recurrence?

My compressor is cutting out at speed, it will freeze you out of the car at idle up to 4500 rpm, as soon as I drive the car for a few miles it cuts out and will not come back in till the car is shut off and sits for a while, this would lead me to a pressure switch failing which I can not find! while the compressor is out the relay is energized, but the clutch doesn't engage possible...

I have a 2004 V70R wagon. Great car all the way around except for the darn front bumper, it is just too close to the ground. This causes to problems:
1) when you park, you have to be really careful and not go over the parking blocks, if you do the front bumper gets caught when you try and back out. That causes the plastic to get pulled out of shape.
2) whenever I pull in or out of my...

Hello,
I've had a 2002 diesel XC70 (Geartronic) D5 AWD for about 6 months now. In the last week it has lost power a couple of times while driving, and a message has come up on the dashboard saying "engine service required" (it was only serviced a few weeks ago).
After about 10 seconds of no power (it doesn't cut out but just acts as if you've taken your foot off the...

Hi,

I have a UK right hand drive Volvo and now live in France. I need to change the headlights, but they are very expensive. I have seen some that are for a XC70 2005 model, does anyone know if they will be ok for my xc70 2001

Does anyone know how or if possible to change passenger side fog light bulb?
Vehicle is 01 xc70

I installed an Alpine head unit in my 2001 V70 T5 with new wire harness adapter. Radio works fine but now "SRS Airbag Needs Service" message came on. Did I disconnect something inadvertently or is this standard when disconnecting the radio harnesses? I checked my OBD2 codes and none stored. Did a reset anyway and no go on the airbag message-- it's still in the message center.

I took my car to get detailed yesterday and when I went to pick it up the driver's side window would not go up. The mirrors are not working from the control module, and only one of the back windows is working from the driver's side module. All of other control modules are functioning fine. It seems to change every time I turn the car on. Also, the locks are locking and unlocking at...

I stupidly banged my head into the sunroof of my 2001 Volvo V70 T5 over the weekend. When I opened and closed the sunroof to check and make sure I didn't hurt it, it sliced off one of the levels of the plastic accordion pieces on the side and that piece doesn't push back with the sunroof anymore. Is that an easy part to replace? If so, what is it called and where could I get one?

Hi All,

I have a 2003 2.4T S with sports pack.

The drivers window poweres up and down with one click either way but the passenger window only powers down with one click.

You have to hold the button to power all the way back to the top.

My Wifes 2002 S60 2.4T SE has auto on both windows with one click.

Can I reset this at all manually, or is it...

[FONT=Impact]Hi, I have a 2001 v70 2.4t with 197000 miles on it.
The car will not start. The message "Engine System Service Urgent" shows up. The battery turns but the car doesn't start. My husband says its probably not getting any fuel. If that's the case what would be causing this problem. I had the ETM replaced about 87000 miles ago. I'm having it towed to my...

The fuel gauge on my 2001 V70 has stopped registering and at the same time my rear doors including the hatch have stopped automatically locking and unlocking. This has to be some kind of security/alarm feature, but I can't find anything on it. Anyone know? Will this have to be taken to the dealer to be reset or is there something I can do?

I have a 2001 V70 T5 that is surging at about 2500 RPM when only a very light pressure is maintained on the throttle. ie just keeping the car ticking over to maintain speed. At the mo it appears to only happen when the engine is warm. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

I"m planning on installing after market HID (xenon) lights on my wife's 2004 xc70. I bought the 50w ballast with 8000k bulb. Am I going to have any electrical issues? has anyone else done this?

I have a 2001 V70, which thankfully now is running beautifully at 92,000, after having replaced brakes,shocks,valve body in transmission, throttle body, timing belt, water pump,tires, AC compressor,motor mounts exhaust system, air filter, plugs, radiator fan,& fuel pump. Now I am going to drive her into the sunset,or 300,000 miles, or whichever comes first, and definitely will not replace with...

Hi Guys;
Question about the behaviour of the temp gauge on my wifes 2001 V70 2.0T Auto. I don't drive this car very often & just noticed the gauge seems to sit very low during normal driving (20% or so) - only climbing to mid-range when in heavy traffic.
This happened on my other car suddenly & I changed the thermostat to remedy the situation as I knew that this wasn't...

This morning I tried to unlock the car with the power lock remote, only the front doors unlock. I get in the car, the fuel gage doesn't work either, can the problem be related to those big square fuses ? Because it seems that the regular fuses are OK.

Thanks

My power window on my 2004 cross country went off the track. How do I oput it back on?

"Bulb Failure Dipped Beam"

This message is coming up on my dash. Is it just a case of me having a light bulb out?

If so, how do I find out which bulb (left or right) it is? Both high beams work and parking lights work, but both low beams don't. Also, how easy is it to change a light bulb. Never done that before.
