Hi Guys,
Anyone had a similar problem to me. 1997 t5 v70 183K on it auto. Completely random and intermittent with no rhyme or reason. Go to start it, hot or cold, on a slope, flat makes no odds....
I know exactly how you feel, I'm not an auto man by any means...but...it does what it does and it does it well, as all I do at the mo is waft to work and back and lug stuff to the tip.
Evening all,
I'm back in an earlier t5 v70 and an auto. Right first of all, is it worth the hassle of converting it to a manual? anything needed besides the obvious, which box? Any manual from a v70...
yes I did mean T5 Monkey. Smart looking car all the same.
Hi all,
What are your general ideas/opinions on a 57 s60 t5 manual, the good, the bad and the ugly. Always liked the look of these and with the recent developments on the v70 I'm going to try and...
Also just found I have a PAS leak which explains the oil over the subframe. Looks to be coming from the pinion, lol the joys of owning a car
tell me about it. Can't get my head around it, hense taking a few things off. Would have been nice to see the plug holes full could easily loose a bit in them. Its even more unusual that it stays...
yep to put a blunt end on it. used a 1L in a week but was fine for 2. Will check it again in the morning but looks as if its moved down to the first X down from the max mark.... which is where its...
Evening y'all,
Right, on Thursday my low oil warning light came on. Anyway pulled the dip stick to double check and sure enough it was on the MIN mark, topped up. I've done 800 miles IIRC and...
yes facelifted mk2
Not looked at the fuse yet, completely overlooked that as the rest is working, I have lined a few jobs up for the weekend providing the weather stays dry. I thought the T6 was the phase 3?? I thought...
Evening y'all.
Couple of questions,
I have a 57 v70 t5 does anyone know if the interior parts/panels etc are interchangeable with earlier P2 models???
Are there any good performance part websites...
Jeeze. I seem to be getting aprox 22 around town and I live in the Malvern hills and that's just driving normally. No idea if they have been tweaked RE. Fuel econ
The 34 was 6th gear and in traffic...
That's the one... As long as the reg is right..
Sorry I've not replied sooner I'm in Corfu at the minute so :-).
As for fuel consumption I managed to get 34mpg on a short run 15miles each way,...
thank you, like I said she's in pretty good nick.... there are only 2 holes, one which looks like a puncture "wound" in the dash and one in the center console. Bodywork is OK one or 2 small dents and...
Hi All,
Finally got around to taking some photos. Shes an ex plod but not in too bad a shape couple of bits missing and trim not put back right but all easily fixable and has 19 A4 pages of service...
No mate that's bang on. I was assuming it would have anything at all upmarket just thought it'd be worth checking. Didn't realise that was a speaker thought it was just a bit of trim.
That's what I have but need an adaptor lead. I went to Halfords and they're one wasn't right. They needed o know what sound system was in there to begin with to order the right adaptor lead for that...
Hi all,
Finally got myself a v70 but being x plod it has no stereo. I didn't realize that these cars had such a varied selection of sound systems. Behind the dash there are 3 block connectors. One...
Will do, any one know how hard the timing belts are to do on these tubs?
Yep took the plunge. outside is nice and straight, inside is how you would expect. Its on 119k so got me thinking. Wanted to use it for a month or so give it a bit of a shake down and see if anything...
Hi all,
Done a quick search but no sure answer. I'll be buying a haynes book of lies tomorrow anyhow, but, whats the volvo specified intervals between cambelts 2007 v70 t5. 90k seems to be a number...
