I'm using the Osram Night Breakers too and pleased with them, the dipped beam improved hugely compared to whatever was in there but have got used to that now, still find full beam very good. Had some...

Yellow-violet is 12V in key positions I and II, there's a wiring diagram here that should help you:

Hi Phill,

Sounds like the driver's damper motor that controls your temperature is playing up (seperate motor for left and right). The lights flash when the climate control stores a code which it...

Looks like a LH one, is it off a -2000 S/V70? I've got two part numbers:

3533620 Loudspeaker left
3533621 Loudspeaker right

Not sure what the difference is between them, as Flatout Phil says...

This link has a list of all the trouble codes for each system and which socket it is on the diagnostic thing:

Yeah could be an issue with the permanent supply from the battery +, this goes to A26 on the engine ECU connector. May also be a poor contact at the battery + terminal or the ECU connector. I'd try...

Yep, RIP was on manufacturing year 94, can check on VIN 9th character will be R.

Sorry if this seems like a silly question but could you have read the codes off the A2 socket instead of A3 which...

How long have you had the car off the road? If you've had the battery disconnected/gone flat you can get this code. I think the 'memory failure' just refers to it forgetting the adaptive values which...

Have you checked the wiring around the cooling fan relay, the fuel system relay next to it can cause issues like this. The connector to the fuel system relay on mine was in bad shape not making a...

Glad you got it sorted.

If you want to check the codes for climate control (ECC) using the 16 pin connector:

Connect 12 volt led (or normal led with resistor) + to pin 16 and - to pin 6....

Don't think you can fit 302 discs with these without modification. This accessories brouchure (http://vccs.volvocars.se/accessoriesLegacy/pdf/X70.pdf - page 873) has note for Persus:

Means the climate control (ECC) has stored a fault code/DTC. You can read this off and it will tell you what's wrong. Depends on whether you have a diagnostic unit under the bonnet next to the washer...

Should be all right up to chassis number 525145 according to this accessories brouchure http://vccs.volvocars.se/accessoriesLegacy/pdf/X70.pdf (pages 211 and 215). Not sure what the difference is...

Has anyone got a picture of this? Would be interested to see what it looks like.

Could you take a pic if you fit one?

Cheers,

Dave

Hi,

The length of the collar the bolt goes through is 39mm. Internal diameter of bolt hole outer edges is 21.5mm, right in the middle where it is tapered in is roughly 14mm, can't get the calliper...

Looks like the voltage comes staight from rear bulb failure...

Could be one of the central locking motors on one of the doors playing up. When you unlock it with the fob does one of the doors stay locked or the other way around (one door stays unlocked when...

Hi, tried another sensor but still hits sensor ring, the two sensors look to be indentical though.

Had an engine change in 2007 and the rear crank seal was done then, sounds like the bolts might...

Removed the starter motor and checked the sensor ring by turning the crank. Can see it is rubbing at points, but there doesn't appear to be damage to the sensor ring, no cracks, nothing stuck in it,...

Hi, has anyone got any ideas on this. Car threw RPM sensor codes 214 and 131 so pulled it out and it is marked on the bottom where it has been hitting the sensor ring on the flexplate/driveplate....

Hi,

The PTC is on the air intake hose between the air filter and turbo, just before you get to the turbo. It's the plastic piece that has 2 hoses (a small one and a bigger one), a 2 pin electrical...

Should be easy enough. Loosen the jubilee clip where it attaches to the turbo, disconnect any vacuum hoses attached (the two pcv ones in your picture) to the intake hose, disconnect the wiring...

I pour hot water over the grommet thing and the intake hose to make it more flexible so I can push it back in. I take the intake hose out of the car to do it though, probably not the best idea to do...

Hi,

This is a bit of a stab in the dark, but could be worth a try.

Had a similar problem where couldn't get spark - turned ignition on, fuel pump came on for a couple of seconds like it does,...
