Hi all,
I am located in Thailand and just bought a second hand V70 year 2000 (the "squarish one"). Volvo assembles its cars locally for the Asian market and this one comes with a 2.3 liter (2319 cc) 5 cylinders low pressure turbo engine.
My questions:
1) Is the 2.3 liter turbo engine standard in Europe/America? I only read about 2 liter, 2.4 liter and 2.5 liter engines in this forum.
2) I am 182 cm (5' 12'') tall and I cannot move the driver's seat far enough to the rear. Do you also face this problem with the cars assembled in Europe/America? Is it possible to move the fixation points of the seat around 5 or 10 cm to the rear?
3) The ETS light turns on from time to time. The Volvo service guy told me that this is because of an ABS sensor that needs to be changed (cost around THB 2500 or USD 50). Can anybody confirm? Is this a usual problem with this model? How serious is it?
4) The car is quite low for local road conditions. Is it possible to higher it by around 5 cm e.g., by changing the suspension springs? Other way?
I would appreciate your answers/comments even about one single question.
Thanks
