Harvey's Sonic V70R Resting

[Harvey]

Though I would start a thread for the "R" there are a number of jobs that need looking at.

1 Remove the detachable towbar & sockets.(then put it on the bay)
2 Fix the tail gate lock.(order up new loom just not worth messing around with it)
3 Reshape and paint the intercooler fins (free only time)
4 Fix the light scratches in paintwork (easy job looks like the clear coat only)
5 Fit sticker to tail gate glass.(on order)
6 Change indicators bulbs to Osram Diadem Chrome indicator bulbs (on order)
7 Change wheels over to my winters (free)
8 Fit Imiv iPod box & reverse camera kit.(free)
9 Fit canbus box of tricks.(free)
10 Fit TME exhaust from the S60.(free)
11 Fit Volvo tax disc holder.(on order)
12 Get nice new reg for it(not free :shockedbi)

That's most of the things I will get done over the next couple of months.

If that was all that was causing the issue why did you go spend a fortune on a new loom havery? I would have used heat shrink crimps for that.

[Harvey]

Im liking the indicators. I did mine too when I bought it, I think its one of those subtle mods that people don't notice but they know something has changed.

[Harvey]

It looked like it had been repaired before,I just like to do a repair once and get it right the harness was damaged in two places as it was loose inside the roof.

The last thing I would want is it catch fire as the rear screen heater is quite high current draw,all the wires are in there.

[volvokid]

I will say there is nothing worse than repairing a repair that someone else has done.

I think my work mate is having the same issue with his P2 S40.

Strange you say that I have just orderd new wiper blades as the one on the near side is straight and is hitting the scuttle panel it should be curved one.
So you still think green is best !. :shockedbi

New reg for the car is now on its way.:redface:

[Al115]

Hello there - pleased to see all the attention the car is getting - going to be a credit to you, Harvey!

That wiring is a mess in the boot, I know of one repair to the loom but not two. And I think I used insulating tape not duct tape! Good that you found the issue.

You will find a crimp connector or two around the Grom unit in the front too, it was a temporary fit that you will no doubt want to redo in time.

Martyn I still have the headlamp wiper arm here, I knew you'd bring it up :) and only fair, I will happily send it back up North (minus the cap that is on Harvey's car!)

Looking forward to seeing further progress!

Just make sure you get the MOT and tax disc back as well. I swapped the plate from the wifes MX5 to her C70, got the paperwork back but the MOT and tax never showed, for either car :wallbash: Had a right game getting replacements!! Hopefully all OK for you though..............

Today it's just get plates made up as I don't have the v5 back yet.

The car had its codes read saturday morning and it was a long list of faults,fortunately most were to do with the rear door locking,rear lights from the harness fault so not too bad.

Had them reset but one came back straight away.

The one fault is with the on-call phone is the reserve battery is at 4% out of 100% so going to get one on order as i can't get the on-call set up for my details.

[Al115]

The PHM-0030 one was persistent through my ownership. It's the on-call back-up battery. Completely useless, so it was the one fault code I lived with!!! :)

I read the codes before I sold you the car and the only ones there were the PHM one, and the REM ones relating to the locking / loom.

It had a CCM fault back in June but that was the Air Quality Sensor.

Nice plates, btw! :)

Had a software update done which I was told looks at the phone battery in a different way.
I guess you never had it changed then ?.
The phone battery level is very low 4% so will replace it A.S.A.P.
Yes very happy with the plates thanks.
Have got some MOT friendly plates on the way which should look good aswell only one firm in the uk would supply them to me as I wanted them made up photos will follow...

only ever used the phone once on my car. that was the first day i got it. complete waste of time. better of having bluetooth going through the radio

The best way to use the car phone I our cars is to get a twin sim card tariff ,if the phone is on it uses the phone ,if off it sends the call to the car phone it costs a couple of pounds a month more but works well.both sim cards have the same number but only one can work at any time.

[LeeT5]

Yep, put my winter tyres and wheels on last week. Gave my summers a clean and polish and put em in the garage till spring.

[Harvey]

Still to clean the wheels I removed just a bit to cold to play with a hose pipe today.

[LeeT5]

Hose pipe! You only need a watering can to rinse and a bucket to wash. Took me 20 minutes.

[volvokid]

I still need to get this done. Im hopefully fitting some 17" pegs to the D5 for winter.

[Al115]

Those look really nice for winter wheels - but 17"s look tiny on the car when you're used to seeing it on 18"s!

Roll on summer LOL

Yes I do agree they do look small but 17"s tyres are a lot cheaper and a bit more give if you hit a pothole.

Edit. I think I should add I don't have any potholes in my driveway.:shockedbi

[Harvey]

Well at last fitted the back-up phone battery today,Then cleared the codes and.....

Well sent off a sample swatch of leather to liquid leather for them to match it for some of there leather dye.
So they should have the colour in the list soon,Volvo V70R 2006 Nordkap (dark blue)
Sent the sample off on Monday and Recived the dye Friday very quick service.
Will use it when the weather warms up, as you do need to wash the seats down and they do need to dry out before you use the dye.

Hi Harvey.
Great pictures (thanks) but I need to ask some things.
I too have the iMIV classic and I am due to get the Volvotech module.
Firstly, where does the Volvotech plug in? I'm really confused about this. Secondly, I see you have the camera for the iMIV. Did you buy it form iMIV.ca and if so, did the green plug come already pre built, so all you had to do was plug it in? Or, did you (like me) get a small bag of bits, consisting of green plug and metal wire terminals to make up the plug yourself?
How does the Volvotech module integrate with the iMIV mate? :confused:

Thanks,CFE canbus box comes with a splitter cable (if you order it I think you get to choose from 3 types of cable )and all you do is unplug the canbus plug from the sat nav DVD player plug the CFE lead into the sat nav DVD player then the cars canbus plug goes into the splitter cable it is very easy to do the hard bit was getting the planel off the side of the car and that is not to hard to do.
The imiv works fine with the CFE unit.

http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r499/harveysr/55FEF03A-2271-4EE8-9A94-823B602062EB-8801-00000F28CCAE8FEE.jpg

The lead in the left is the canbus lead with the green plugs ,the battery and short lead is used to power the box when prorgaming It,the lead rolled up is the USB lead.

The imiv box just plugs into the tv din socket that is on the back of the sat nav DVD player( note must be DVD no cd if I remember right.I have got the tv tuner in the car which I had to unplug as it's no good anymore because it's not free view box.

The camera I did get from imiv at the same time I got the kit ,but you do need to change the software on the imiv box as the screen will not come up when you select reverse gear until you do,also the screen picture is reversed until you cut the wire from the camera.
I have got it working but have not found a place to fit the camera that I am happy with you ,have seen the cameras that fit in the same place as the number plate lights but they won't work as they are NTSC not PAL units

[Harvey]

Well seeing the my birthday came up and the misses asked what I would like ,well a big thanks to LeeT5 for the idea of what to get me, sorry the car.

Well have got a ipd turbo control valve to fit didn't like the plastic fitting that came with it .

So when I found these ones after a bit of looking around had to have them . ( They do match the paintwork of the car )

They are anodised aluminium in blue same as IPD colour happy days.:redface:

[LeeT5]

Wow. Where did you get the blue fittings?
I used the brass ones from my old IPD TCV. The plastic ones are rubbish. Thought they would snap when trying to push vac hose onto them.

Just got home and had my HID slim kit waiting for me.
The kit is going into the fog lights which take H3 bulbs.

The colour of the bulbs are 4300K and are 35w bulbs the idea is to get them to match up with the headlights.

http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r499/harveysr/2014-04/468E4073-5F08-49DB-BEEC-6EEA07CC5FB9_zpsfanbftgh.jpg

I did order some better bulbs (the middle ones in the picture )which have a steel base and ceramic insulator and looking at them they match up perfectly with the filament of the standard bulb , as "R" has the projection type foglight lens.
The bulb bottom in the picture is what came with the kit and the insulator is just plastic and of poor quality.

So this is one more job to get done at some point soon ,I think I will fit them at the same time I repair the intercooler as it needs a repair done then a bit of paint on it.

[V70 Graham]

Hopefully all done in time for 'Swedish Day'

With any luck they should be fitted in the next week or so.Need to get the ramps out to look.

Well today it had its first proper wash of the year !.
Also fitted a powerflex lower engine mount bush the small one,then gave the engine a oil & filter change.

I think the last clown than did the oil change use a two foot long breaker bar to do up the sump plug as that's what I had to use to undo it.:nutkick::shockedbi

I was quite surprised they all came one box sure it weights more than 25kgs .
They are the drilled ones that's the only ones Brembo offer they don't do slots for our cars and the price for the stock ones were almost the same.(I did have a look around could have got some from the states but that was just silly money even before shipping & tax).
I know the drilled ones do/can/will crack but I think I'll take the chance Seeing I do such high mileage.

Just thought it looked very nice, same colour as the paintwork.

http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r499/harveysr/P1000210_zps6c895b3d.jpg

Had it made up for me from ebay,but I do hope to get a club sticker made up for me soon just keep watching for it to be posted up soon.

[Harvey]

Did you install the TCV already? I got one to install in my car, but I've been told that the boost will be spiking a bit....

The info with the valve does say take the car for a easy (light footed drive.) for 1/2-3/4 hour for the ECU to learn the way the valve works.

[Harvey]

Last thing I have been waiting for the postman to deliver was sitting on the side for me today. :funkybana

Been looking around for a nice camera to install on the back tailgate ,this one should fit nice just a tad too big easy to trim down.

I know the volvo number plate light only has one screw Hole but it will be easy to make it look a nice install and it's a PAL camera .

[M-R-P]

Remind me to make rude gestures at it next time I see you reversing. :D

Lee just to say still not fitted to car,and it will need to be trimmed by 1mm or so not 100% sure it will work well.

That's the dress up kit, same as what I got minus the oil filler cap.
What was the carriage costs mate and what did u have to pay in import tax? Did you have to collect or was it posted to your door?

Well the import paperwork turned up today and it was £25.

[Harvey]

Little bit of up date.

Brake discs fitted.

The summer tires are an awful lot quieter from road noise as well.

[M-R-P]

Good news with the mot mate but you do always keep the car well.

:)

[V70 Graham]

Can't believe I missed the MOT, well done on the pass mate.

[Harvey]

Well today rear disks & pads went on with new handbrake shoes,and a spring kit as well also fitted the manual adjusters which makes a big difference to set up very easy,
The car no longer rolls back when they handbrake is pulled on.

Also the little pig tail springs were beyond use trying to get the old discs off they got pulled out of shape.
Old shoes were at the end of there lift as the friction material was coming away.

http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r499/harveysr/2014-07/4F3B6FE1-A1F5-4E3D-B56E-0E32CD988CAF_zps5l2kstal.jpg

The new adjusters spot-on.

http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r499/harveysr/2014-07/9400E6E9-2E81-4A14-ACE6-A4A0C9872DC7_zps7ib1euvs.jpg

The new drilled disks look the part but did have to give the a coat of paint as they were very dark gray almost black.

http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r499/harveysr/2014-07/1979478A-2E50-4623-A03A-675B3FF009DA_zps0acnxkkm.jpg

The next problem is it now needs new handbrake cables as the o/s one is not as smooth as it should be to release,but working fine.
Looks a real pain to change them :shockedbi

[silverhorse]

I have got a rattly n/s handbrake shoe assembly and it drives me mad. Have just bought some of those pig tail springs to try and tighten everything up.
Looking at the equaliser bar where the handbrake cable divides under the centre console, the left cable looks to have stretched. Oh joy............... You are right, looks like a pig of a job. Will be interested to see how you get on.

[LeeT5]

Didn't know there was a manual adjuster! Is is a mod or choice for the R models?

[Harvey]

Yes it's a mod sort of but it's a Volvo mod here's a Volvo parts drawing.

http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r499/harveysr/b6cf8421be8b7caf6bde60f74bc2bc58_zpsd7be8049.jpg

Removed item no 15 then fitted 17 & 18 now the car doesn't roll back a couple inches before it locks on.

[SomeBloke]

Harvey, you don't happen to have the part numbers for 17 & 18 handy do you?
Rear brakes are going to get done soon and it seems like a good idea to fit these at the time :)

[faRRow85]

Youre caR is pretty damn fine.it makes me want to trade in the s60 for a v70.

[Harvey]

Harvey, you don't happen to have the part numbers for 17 & 18 handy do you?

17 & 18 part numbers are 30793438 for the claw and 30793437 for the adjusting link.

[Craigy t5]

Lovely car and mods you have there,, was the exhaust a straight swap from the s60 or did it need modifying to fit your car,

[Harvey]

Lovely car and mods you have there,, was the exhaust a straight swap from the s60 or did it need modifying to fit your car,

The TME exhaust is telescopic so it adjusts to both cars the V70 is approx 3" longer than the S60.

At long last theses turned up after 3 weeks..

[Ettienne]

I had the ipd gauge they seem pretty accurate.

I'll be looking at my rear brakes, although they look new, I'll check the handbrake shoes just incase, I have seen these things separate and smash up the rear of the car. I think I have 2 spare rear uprights.

I'll follow your adjuster upgrade at same time, nice one.

[abdul]

Awesome car

[AshDVS]

Fantastic colour!
I'm fairly sure we didn't get Sonic as a colour here. I've certainly not seen one in person.
Looks like you're working through the 'to do list' anyway. :)

[LeeT5]

At least your gauge is calibrated correctly...mine rests at -2psi, so will be going back under warranty.

Can't understand why you bought the wastegate tool thou? Surely you could of got the Mityvac instead? More useful for diagnosis reasons.

[Harvey]

It's just something to help fill up the tool box, I guess I will use it once then put it away until the next car turns up.

[LeeT5]

Precisely why I think it's a waste of money. However, a good way of adjusting thou.

[Harvey]

Had a nice couple of hours in at Kastner Volvo Exeter this morning ,cars service was due.

The main reason for service was to get the Software upgrade carried out, Talking to the tech that carried out the service he did find that it was due for a upgrade which took around five minutes to send it to the car.

I also asked for a price to replace the sump "O" rings which is around £130 + Vat not a bad price but they would need the car overnight to do that job.

Now have years Volvo road side cover as part of the service :)

Parts came to £117 labour £97.50 that's with there customer loyalty scheme.

The car I'm about to buy (a Sonic S60R) is a Kastner's car. Spoke to them about it before deciding to buy it and the service chap (sounded like an older local gent) reckoned it has been well maintained. Came onto your thread to say hello as I could see your car was a Sonic Blue, but you must be local to Exeter too?

Are you anywhere near Chudleigh? That's where I'm buying my S60R from. Picking up next week (Thursday). If you know a lot about these cars maybe I could buy you a pint and gain some knowledge? Bit cheeky of me as a new member, but I thought I'd ask!

:confused: ....Do you mean the Sump Gasket?

[Harvey]

:confused: ....Do you mean the Sump Gasket?

No there is no sump gasket as such as it's comes in a tube liquid gasket That Volvo make specially for it.
The Sump has a number of O rings where it mates to the engine block & in the Sump pan pipework .
Over time they can brake down or just move and let air get suckered in or lose oil pressure.

Oh. So what's wrong with yours then?

[Harvey]

The sump is just damp but not leaking enough to see where it's from or drop onto the subframe / floor.

[LeeT5]

Do you have the part number for the 6000k Phillips front side light bulbs you use? I have 5000k but I want to change them for 6000k.

New set of led front fog lights which are E marked.

Well have you got a link then please? They look the daddies! They fit perfectly.

I will post the link but please don't take the piss to what I paid,they are a bit more than a Claymore PCV kit.:rotfl:

Here's a video of what they do in the 70mm size they do day time Running lights,headlight assist,fog's,they are the best I could find and E marked to boot...enjoy the vid.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhYYDatxWtE

I did get them in the UK just in case I have any warranty issues two years that is.

just a touch, and I'd say Claymore's PCV kit looks a better deal as I believe he offers a 3 year guarantee lol

[LeeT5]

£260 ain't bad for what they are mate. Tell me, which led did you get? Day running, fog or driving lights?

[Ettienne]

I will post the link but please don't take the piss to what I paid,they are a bit more than a Claymore PCV kit.:rotfl:

Here's a video of what they do in the 70mm size they do day time Running lights,headlight assist,fog's,they are the best I could find and E marked to boot...enjoy the vid.

I did get them in the UK just in case I have any warranty issues two years that is.

They do two types chrome & dark chrome I got the latter,so they will blend in that bit better.

They look quite smart and I've got a bloody smashed one on mine, interesting to see them fitted and in action.

Day light running, can you have these on in the day without getting pulled over?

I'll most likely get one on eBay I saw a gen one (or similar) new £55, mines only a cheap daily beater so not as posh as yours lol.

Got the fogs one's

[LeeT5]

I like them and I'd buy them, only trouble is they are £260 and they only sell as a pair. If one smashes then your screwed!
I think I'm gonna stick with retrofitting HIDs to mine. Nice thou mate!

[Harvey]

:o Well today I got round to fitting the n/s front led fog lamp only as that is easy one ( no washer bottle that side ).:o

The stock o/s fog lamp (sidelights only)

The Nolden fog lights fill in the dark spot under the headlights very well.

[AndysR]

Nice work, be interesting to see how they perform in fog :)

[LeeT5]

How do they clamp to the car? Do they mount on the existing fog light brackets?

[Harvey]

How do they clamp to the car? Do they mount on the existing fog light brackets?

made up some brackets that bolt to the volvo bracket bit of a pain to get right but I didn't remove the bumper,will take some photos when I do the o/s light as will have to remove bumper due to washer bottle tank is in the way,glad i did copper slip the bolts when i last took it off.

[T5RatherAmusin]

fogs look awsome dude!
when i bort my car it came with with no fogs. so have to get software and switch...

Cheers ,I did look at the Osram range but there's are 90 mm diameter units , the R's need to be 70 mm to keep the stock look.
I still have a fair bit of work to do ,To get them looking the way I want them.
Just don't have the time to get on with them (also to cold this time of year).

[Harvey]

A couple of bits to fit.

This is a noise filter for the sat nav screen,when the cars engine is running there is a bit of interference in screen,it's a shame the unit is not wrapped in foam to stop any rattles under the dash, have got some foam tape on the way.

A bluetooth adapter for the iMIV lead as it's a 30 pin plug (4s iphone) but now have a S5 Samsung phone will see how well it work's? .

It looks like the firmware has been changed over the stock unit ?.

I've bought the same adaptor Harvey! How did you have your iMIV connected to play music, before you bought the BT adaptor?

I currently have the 30pin apple 5m from the iMIV to the front n/s dash. It then connects to a Brodit 'pass thru' iPhone cradle. I'm guessing, with the BT adaptor I can unplug the 30pin cable and hide it in the center console with the BT adaptor plugged in.
I'm going to try it today and test the functionality over my current hard wire setup.

[T5RatherAmusin]

i was and still am considering them lee. only thing is i have the drl headlights. and was thinking these and my headlights may be a lil ott? or may jst be perfect, i dunno lol

[LeeT5]

What do you mean? I have DRL's too....if I turn them on. What car is yours?

[T5RatherAmusin]

28041

[LeeT5]

Ah, I see. Those DRL's run of your sidelight feed. So, if your light switch is off '0' are your sidelights (DRL) still on? Depends how you have your light settings....ie....FLEXNOLL, FLEXSTD etc.

[T5RatherAmusin]

my 'volvo drl' was switched off. so there was no beam or side on start.
now jst the leds are on, on start drl

[LeeT5]

my 'volvo drl' was switched off. so there was no beam or side on start.
now jst the leds are on, on start drl

So to confirm:

pos.0 = DRL's
pos.side = side (no DRL's)
pos.head = Headlights.

[T5RatherAmusin]

correct

[Craigy t5]

17 & 18 part numbers are 30793438 for the claw and 30793437 for the adjusting link.

Without this mod, is no other adjuster on the handbrake?

[Harvey]

No mate there's a adjuster under the leather cover on the handbrake lever,this mod will does stop the car rolling back when the brake is pulled on.

[Harvey]

I just changed the power steering fluid, seeing what came out of Lee car I thought it would be a good time to do it.

Looking in the hand book it says you need this fluid wss-m2c204-a2 which seems to be a Ford / Volvo only fluid ,did Google it but it didn't cross to anything that I could find.
Looks like 2006 year cars changed fluid type ?.

So changed the first 1L bottle this is what came out.

It looks like it needed it will flush again in a couple of weeks.

[LeeT5]

I suspect that the Ford fluid you list is an exact cross reference to Volvo's Pentosin or CHF11S. It's all the same stuff, just after 2005, when Ford sank their teeth in, Volvo were forced to look for an alternative fluid at Ford. I'm guessing the Ford stuff is also green?

I will have a look in my handbook and see what it lists.

Oh, and the fluid you removed was exactly the same rank colour mine was!

[LeeT5]

Not meaning to Hijack your thread Harvey (I'll keep it brief) I notice in your picture T5RatherAmusin...your missing the black three legged cover that sits on the right of the air filter housing! Is that deliberate, or did you not know it was missing?

PM me if you like.....just thought I'd mention it (sorry Harvey :hidesbehi)

I did call into a local factors and the guy said best get the right stuff after looking at a couple of bottles.

[Harvey]

At long last I just fitted the noise filter to the RTi screen ,that I got from volvotech.

5 min job to fit it.

Just a shame the wires & filter are not covered with foam .

[LeeT5]

Greta to see the pictures of the RTi removed Harvey. I need to send my RTi away first, before I fit it.
