Can anyone shed any light on this then?
I have a V70 2003 D5. I replaced the wing mirror glass with replacements from Ebay (mirrors broken & heating not working). After doing so, I was sure that...
For what it's worth, my (now my wifes) V70 D5 crunched into 3rd on the test drive with 140k miles on the clock, and the clutch has felt heavy and close to the top since I brought it. It now has 252K...
It's been a while since I've been on here as I have now passed my V70 into retirement - as my Wife's child wagon!
Anyway, my name's James, and I have an Air-Con issue on a D5....
I noticed it...
I have a 2003 D5 V70 SE with 242K on the clock now. It's a reliable, quick economical commuting car which ticks my boxes of Big, Comfortable and Quick.
Make sure you get one with the winter pack...
After about 6 months of ownership (over 2 years ago now) my car developed a clunking noise from the passenger foot well when going over uneven ground. After finding this I did the following (in...
If you're fitting HIDs into the standard reflector lamps make sure you get H7R Bulbs. These have a little blanking strip to shape the light a bit better and reduce glare which is more considerate for...
Quick update.
My car is in for it's 234K Service tomorrow, so I wanted to make absolutley sure it had the correct dipstick fitted. Phoned Holdcroft in Stoke and got quoted £47 for Dipstick,...
I had this about 1 week after buying my 2003 V70 D5 - Turned out to be a corroded and snapped ABS ring on the N/S/F driveshaft giving a bad reading. It would only show up after about 10 minutes of...
Thanks for the quick reply Steve.
I don't know, my engine's on it's way out!
Just checked the measurements of the replacement I have. It has a part number of 21439543 (compared to the...
I have a 2003 V70 D5. I recently had the head snapped off the dipstick, so my local indie popped one from an 850 in just to plug the hole. When I came to buy a replacement recently it turns out that...
Tried the Terraclean over winter:
Linky
Unfortunatley I didn't see much difference. The car felt a bit smoother to drive, but it wasn't night and day. The app I run for tracking my running...
About as cleared up as I'd got it already! It's a real quandry.
I have the option to go back into a company car, however my wife's 406 is on it's way out and she loves the big swede. By the time...
After coping for the last couple of years with a slight injector fault, my otherwise fine example of a 2003 V70 D5 is sick.
It runs rough at idle when up to temperature, and the cutting out I had...
Air con seems to be working again today. That aside I've done a bit of digging regarding crankcase ventilation. I came across this video on youtube:
...
Does the D5 have a PCV? I'm guessing it has some sort of crankcase ventilation. Just done a bit of googling and now I'm scared. Either I've got a worn piston ring, cracked head or I'm in a coma. Any...
I've had the following on my V70 D5
Kumho Ecsta Lesport KU39's : Good value, Grippy, but a bit soft and wore quickly. Noisy once worn in a bit
Dunlop SP Maxx TT: Good wet & dry grip, reasonably...
Nice write up. Nice to see the powerflex diagrams related to real pictures!
Out of interest, is the camber at the rear intentional? Or is it just that they couldn't get it back into tolerance? How...
I have posted previously about sorting my alternator which I was told had a noisy bearing or two. Long story short, I've been too busy, until wednesday this week when I noticed a deep rhythmic...
My 2003 D5 has been running for nearly 100K miles with noisy injectors and an occasional fuel rail depressurisation issue (linked to the injector problem).
The Black engine cover D5's >2004 will...
Disconnect the battery negative and earth as close as possible to the point you are welding. Also, don't just assume the earth clamp is making a good connection, clean the earth point with a wire...
Just tried it 3 times, no message. I was going to go to my Volvo specialist on Monday to get any codes read, so we'll see what comes of it then.
Does anyone have any further information on this potential fault? My 2003 V70 D5 has thrown this message (Engine Service Required) twice this week. No red/ amber triangle, just the message on the...
Sorry, yes 2003 V70 D5.
Got home from a party last night to the smell of hot brakes and noticible radiant heat from the rear right wheel. The caliper (as advised at my service a couple of weeks ago - why don't I listen!)...
stevmo, the adaptors are indeed confusing. My car is a 2003 pre-facelift, and the Autoleads adaptor would have fitted with some fettling, however it does not use the factory fit screwholes.
Have a...
