This is enabled by default on my V70. It's even described in the manual as normal behaviour. Why did you have to have it enabled? Shouldn't it have been already ?

Continental Contact 3's on my V70 at present. They're excellent performers. And I too like to bury my foot and don't take corners lightly. They grip extremely well in the dry and wet, especially in...

You can measure coolant temperature via the OBDII port.

I'll have to have a gander to see if there are any numbers on them. You can have them if they're any use to you. I only kept them for cases like this when someone needs them, so cover the...

I don't think they expect economy as such, but it is a nice to have. Most people care about economy, it's precisely that these cars can attain sensible economy figures in daily use that a lot of us...

Mine works too. The sensitivity of it can be adjusted by use of VADIS/VIDA.

Rich got his done cheaper because they didn't put the radiator back properly. I think the chap doing it stopped after 1 hr instead of 1.8 hrs.

I read somewhere recently that the roof spoiler reduces the drag coefficient by 0.01. Down from 0.29 to 0.28 or similar. This was on a phase 1 V70 (850 style) though, but I'd wager it might have a...

Mine has been fine after the software update and flush I did within three months of ownership. That was nearly 30,000 miles ago, almost 2 years. No problems at all, and I'm now upto 102,000 miles.

Take out the bulb and blow warm air into the housing with a hairdryer until it's gone, that's always worked for me with cars that have had condensation in lamps.

Diseasals are somewhat different with OBDII support though.

You can get LED lamps for the fogs.... Google it or
look on eBay.

I have them in mine (LED sidelights) and don't get any warnings in the info center...
