Cheers mate, will give it a go at the weekend
Hi all,
Finally got the c70 t5 insured and taxed and on the road (delay due to me sending log book off before thinking about what I'd done lol).
Anyway, noticed something a bit strange with...
Will do cheers. Looks like the first purchase is going to be a steering rack .
Hi all,
Just picked up a 2001 c70 t5 this morning, 7 years after selling the grey one in my avatar pic. The thing is for all it has fsh and sensible mileage to look at close up shes a bit rough...
Lol, wish I could but do upto 300 miles per week these days. Would love another t5 or an s60r but just not an option
Hi,
Been away from the volvo scene for about 5 years after getting my head turned by vw tdi's and a Skoda Octavia vrs.
Got that 'feeling of regret' about my affair now, and although I still...
Hi all,
Been away from the forum for a while now after parting with my beloved c70 t5 in july 08, mainly trying to reduce my fuel bills.
Since then I have owned a citroen saxo which was crap,...
Take it out!!! I went through exactly the same with my C70 and a 2p coin!!!.
The golden rule is never leave anything metallic in the well behind the coin tray!! I guess volvo may have already had...
Must just be the cold weather then?
Looks good Dac!
Glad I've already got one!! Like you I want the crystal lights and indicators but the cost outweighs the merits for me at the mo!
PS. Have you noticed a different in the...
I've just been through hell with my C70 T5. Was like power would drop off then come back in then drop off again etc etc. Mine turned out to be the front lambda sensor (ME7 engine so mine has two), I...
Tell me about it, our lass nearly got wiped out by a foreign left hook artic yesterday, he came from a sliproad on our left which was very tight and curved. I had realised he couldn't see us and...
Well guys I finally got to the bottom of it after buying my own code reader. Turns out it was the front lambda sensor was duff and as a result was sending the fueling haywire!!!
One thing I will...
They are gorgeous wheels mate, I had the 17s on our zafira (see piccy -soz about quality it was taken on my phone!).
Only problem with them is that it costs a fortune to get a puncture repaired...
I had a similar prob with mine when it got tested in April. Six months later I am waiting for Volvo to get in the new Front Lambda sensor I ordered yesterday at a cost of 181.50 + vat (ouch!!).
...
More like 100 qiud + VAT a time Lol.
Hi
I had my old 850 on Koni adjustables set to their hardest setting and it was unbelievable how much difference it made, especially to the back end. Used to love throwing it about, but ride was a...
OK might have got a bit further. I have been looking on a code conversion site which shows that in relation to the Volvo P1132 is an intermittant front CO2 oxygen sensor fault.
Am I right in...
Well after all the power surging questions that I asked on here I decided to buy an OBDII scanner.
Once plugged in the scanner shows code P1132 - Manufacturer Control Fuel Air Metering.
Now I...
I've got black diamond drilled and grooved all round with matching pads, took me about 600-700 miles to run in, they were proper bitches for overheating at first. Now that they have done over 1000...
Chris,
Had a look at this possibility last night, guess you have to take the turbo heatshield off to do it as can feel (but not see) where I need to put the spanner, but it ain't accessible.
...
By the way Baj, let me know if you find anything out with yours as the symptoms are very similar.
Cheers
Chris...
Latest update is that I changed fuel filter and spark plugs yesterday evening. Performance was significantly improved, however, when I opened it up for a run through the gears under hard acceleration...
Cool, I live just outside Sedgefield. Spend half of my life in Durham, be it work or play!
Wish the C70 went like that!!!
