sorry it tok so long to get back!

no the freewheel issue was dealt with at dealer level when I first had the car (well before I realised how much they charge!) the box on deceleration (in gear)...

The photos would be great! dismantling the dash isnt a problem its when you open up the clock set me thinks?

Yeah it helped, but just showed my box needed a lot more spending on it! As for going into nuetral at the stop only that wasnt the case, DPG autos (an indy) explained they used to drop into freewheel...

Hi there,
when I got my 2001 Y reg with 142,000 miles the box was jumpy, cluncky etc. Local stealer did a software upgrade for me and that helped. Eventually went to a speacialist auto box chap in...

freewhell on deceleration is the old way tiptronic box worked when you took your foot of the throttle it put box into nuetral. Problme was as valve body in the gearbox wore out the gears would then...

Hi folks,
have used this site for the many problems my V70 shows andnow my good old reliable 850 has a problem (first in 60,000 miles over 3 years). The odometer has stopped registering the mileage...

Back again,
this is an odd one, but Im sure the acumulated knowledge on this site can assist!

Idle very smooth and also very responsive again, although engine management light back...

Stealer update, done prior to my purchase. About 18 months ago. Although idle is the same wether in gear/ neutral or park now

Ahem back again, just been for a spin and its erratic again 800-900 on average. Once the engine was warm seemed to settle. stop the engine for 5 mins start again and erratci again.
Sorry to ask but...

Just had a look and the right hand one wasnt seated properly went in with a click, started the engine and its gone all lovely and smooth again!

Your racking up the pints here you know!
And...

Gear box was done ages ago, its holds gear now and doesnt go into freewheel on deceleration. Ill have a look at those two bits you mention and see how I do!

BTW looking at the photos of your motor where did you get the shinny silver knobs (oooeeerrrr) on your radio and climate, they are nice.

How did I know youd appear first!
Its all well and good describing these things but being a kinestetic learner I have problems visulising (can you tell the wifes a teacher!) any photos or links to...

Hello all, back again,
after much faffing about Ive finally replaced the MAF sensor (bosch of course). But the idle is a bloody pain. I have the geartronic box and when in Park its as smooth as a...

Yeah, same problem here with the Gaytronic, ended shelling out £1900 to a specialist in Yorkshire for a complete strip and re-build. Main component that went tits is the valve block common failure...

Thats two things in one day, youd better have a lie down. Better still i think i owe you a pint!

As always, your an absolute bloody star cornclose!

Hi folks, me again, I think I found the post before but for the life of me I cant find it now!. How do I adjust the handbrake lever travel as it currently requires me to sit in the back to pull it to...

Same here, you cant raise the headrests as they are built solid like that.
I did find a bracket on line that secures / clamps through the opening to enable you to attach screens to the back of the...

Any ideas on how much the front rotational discs would cost?

Hi all, back again with the ABS lights!!!!. Sorted the ABS module and fitted the LEDs to the dash, everything has been fine for a few months now we start again.

On start up lights on then turn off...

Hmmmm, I have a 2001 V70 t5 with geartronic box, got the car for £2k less than should have been due to gearbox issues (thunping change / erratic etc) took it to a guy in Huddersfield he replaced the...

Just an update,
pulled the ABS module apart again and checked for dry joints, lo and behold the two pins for the power feed showing the smallest cracks possible. Soldered up and re-fitted cleared...
