Salvo have not got one; any other suggestions?

The ABS / DSTC module has been diagnosed as faulty. Does anyone have any recommendations for breakers where I might be able to source one second-hand?

I've geartronic on my V70 and I wouldn't bother next time. Manuals in future for me.

I has some fitted to my car when it was new by Volvo. They are really helpful, especially in tight parallel parking spaces. Fitting prices vary wildly depending upon how professional a job you want....

The fault code indicates these is a communication problem between the ABS control module and the ECM(?). So the fault could be the ABS module, the cabling or the ECM.

Apparently after about 02/52 all DSTC finctionality was software driven. Earlier cars used the type of mdule as on my car. So is has to be a 2002 my car or earlier.

I think they changed the design of the control module, but I will check.

There is a catch: your car has to be a 2000/1 model year V70 with DSTC and I need something from you.

You are quite right. The car is currently at Johnson's in Redditch. The Service Manager says that if we put my module on your car and it was faulty, then your car would then have the fault codes in...

What experiences do you chaps have of running the latest shape V70 T5 to high mileages? Do they live up to Volvo's reputation for reliability and low running costs.

The PIAA bulbs are very expensive and did not come out very will in the AutoEXPRESS bulbs tests. I would advocate Osram Silver Star or Philips Vision Plus.

I don't know if you will need to do so, or if its just a straight swap. Can anyone comment?

Thanks for your offer of help. If I get my unit off the car and over to you, do you know how much work is involved in trying my unit on your car? I understand that it is about a 45 minute job for the...

I have a boot floor - taken out of my car when new when the dealer fit rear seats were installed. So it is effectively brand new. Beige carpet colour.

I have no idea what it is worth - perhaps...

I don't have the actual code, but I'll see if I can get it.

Another bit of information that may or not provide a clue. The problem first manifested itself the morning after is was returned by the...

The fault is supposedly that there is a communication failure between the DSTC module and the ECM. No-one seems to be able to understand what that actually means.

I found slamming the door a few times often solved the problem. If you leave the car for a while the deadlocks seem to kick in and the door will then actually be locked despite the pin still being...

Can you please expand on the "and DSTC then goes and comes back".

Doug

That may work. I have an office in Newcastle that I travel to regularly. So I could drop the unit off on the way up and collect it on the way back down.

Why do you think WOBBLY DAVE may be able...

The initial fault was manifested by a "Brake Failure" message in the warning display on the dash. At the same time the display conincidentally indicated that an emission service was needed.

Does anyone near the Midlands have a V70 fitted with DSTC (as opposed to STC)?
