I drove the girlfriends (we) 2003 c70 L model to Waynesboro Va. from Richmond Va this last weekend (about 100 miles + touring the Blue Ridge Parkway ) and the C 70 could be a dream of a car to own....BUT under hard and light power this one has a hesitation. I have mentioned this to the girlfriend on previous trips and she has taken it to Mooers Volvo in Richmond who perform some repair or adjustment to resolve this problem but it comes back. It is the L model (less HP).

I personally own several Reattas and frequesnt that forum frequently and have great success on repair questions and problems, and am hoping this forum will provide similar help.

Is there a repair (shop) manual available for the C70 L model and if so where can it be obtained please? I am assuming that the surging / hesitation on her car is possibly a fuel/air adjustment that can be performed outside of the dearlership....or at least wishing that it is .

I also had a problem getting "passing gear" (know that is the wrong term) or getting the turbo to cut in intermittantly. Have to attempt 3 to 4 times to get it to engage. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,

Nic
