Does anybody know the price of an 80K service for a C70 T5 with ETM ? ...... and is it only Volvo that can turn the service light off or can independents turn it off ?

Thanks

Depends where you get the service done.

Used to have a C70 T5 and the 80,000 mile service was £350.
This included the cambelt being replaced and was done at a local station.

No the service light can be reset by independants.

ETM can only be replaced by Volvo at the moment and will set you back roughly £600.

Might want to do a search about the ETM though, VT will be able to do it soon and they replace other parts including accelerator pedal at the same time.

The seller says that this service is not the major one, the next service is ...

He's been told £290 by his Volvo dealer in Slough, as i say this is for a minor service .....

funny enough i was just looking through the service records now, and the belt wasnt due until 110,000 miles as its a 99 spec yet i noticed it had been done at 80k, so obviously they was going on the basis it was registered in 1998, but it is a 1999 model, though better safe than sorry, and i will probably get the belt done again at 110k anyway.

80,000 mile service for 99 on (with ETM) is (from volvo service schedule):

Oil and Oil Filter change;
Pollen Filter;
all 10,000 mile service usual checks;
Air Filter;
Aux Drive Belt;
Spark Plugs.

prices will vary from dealer to dealer obviously, bu the parts above will give you an idea of what your looking at.

i dont think he has a ETM problem, he was just mentioning it to show he has a ME7 (99 on model).

and yes, independants can knock out the service light as well as the dealer, but ask the question to the people you intend on taking it too, just to be sure they can do it.

Evening Rufe,

They didn't specify the belt change I did.
I bought it with 80, 000 miles on and wasn't sure so had it done for peace of mind. As you say better safe than sorry :D

nice to see you still here fella, dont worry im taking care of the C70 lol. been treating it to a few bits and pieces all ready, though having instant access to the little things does help (all wipers/wheel centre/all bulbs/oil change/fuel system cleaner/touch up paint for the moulding that had a small scuff at the end/new tail pipe... oh yeah and treated her to a new dvd head unit and 8 disk holder to fill the DIN slot under it, not bad for a start anyway lol)

i've allways changed the belts as the first thing i have done on every car i have owned, just to be safe. valves can get expensive lol

Thats great lads, thanks ;)

Yep, i might just get the timing belt done anyway for peace of mind ... if i buy it ... lol

Reference the timing belt, i thought it was milage or so many years ... whatever came 1st, on our Megane its 72K or 5years ... does that apply to the C70 ??

yes mate, on the 99 on models its 110,000 miles or 10 years, which ever comes first.


edit -
actually, i just checked on the service sheet, and it says for the belt to be done in the 100k service AND the 110k service??? now that confused me, only just spotted it in the 100k checks, but its defintely there. will look into his tomorrow when i get a more up to date service schedule.-

Any garage can replace the ETM. The problem arises when you need to program a new ETM. Only Volvo dealers or well equipped specialist can reprogram those. That is something that we can do too (when the friggin system works)!

Basically, if a garage has the right equipment, they can do anything a Volvo dealer can do.

Don't forget to change the tensioner aswell!! Also check the condition of the idler pulley and waterpump pulley, also that the w/pump isnt seeping.
If you dont replace the tensioner then you may aswell not bother with the belt.;)

is it £160 for this then?

Oil and Oil Filter change;

all 10,000 mile service usual checks;

Spark Plugs.

not a bad price there, though i would think it may be a bit more than that most places

What is involved in the 90k service to make it the big one?

Just phoned my local Volvo dealer and they charge £320 for a 80K service ..... wow

Hence why I went to an independant for the same jobs.

You don't need to be Volvo trained to do those changes. Bread & Butter stuff.

That would explain why i can't find any info on my timing belt to be replaced at 80k, even though i phoned the dealers up, and they stated wait for it.....
" maybe the owner of the vehicle declined to have one fitted" WTF:cussing:
I will get it replaced at the 90k or timewise 7 years service,

" maybe the owner of the vehicle declined to have one fitted" WTF:cussing: That's a pretty special response! Wow. Surely they couldn't possibly stamp the service record if they don't do the most fundamental tasks...

Just asked the independant garage that iv took my Renault 21 turbo to for years and they will do the same service for £130 .... pity as i do like to have dealer stamps in the book ....

ok, just to clear that little bit up, timing belt change is definitely on the 110k service for 99 model years... (if i had read the sheet properly i would have worked out what it meant last night, but it is a little confusing the way they put it)

So iv got another 30k to go before i need to worry about the timing belt then ....

eh eh eh? Ive been dreading my 80 000 service as the service schedule I was given when i bought my C70 1999 (v reg) says the timing belt has to be changed... basically have been quoted about £800 for that service!!! :jaw

Sayin that the service schedule is stated for 2000 model and later.. but I wasn't going to complain as I kinda trust the garage as they seem to know what they do with Volvos (volvo specialist). Plus dont wanna take any risks with things like timing belts!

no, you have the wrong schedule there mate. there is one that covers the models up to 1999.

take a look at this thread i made a while back, on how to correctly identify your model year.... CLCIK HERE... (http://www.volvot5.co.uk/forums/t3876-correct-model-year-identification.html)

if its a 1999 get the correct sheet mate :)

arghh fek.. my VIN no. has a Y for the year :( looks like its gonna be a nice dent in my wallet in 10000 miles then. They have used the right service schedule then which is nice to know!

Cheers mate.

this is exactly why i posted that thread up showing people how to correctly identify their model year. we get it every day in work, people allways look at their log book and see when the car was registered, and thats the model year they think the car is. if your car was registered late in a year (or some year/model combinations its about 6 months before the next year), then chances are its actually the next years model according to volvo. only way to be sure is to look at the chassis number and find out. :)
