Hi I had dual sims with Vodafone (1 number 2 sim cards) just turned off the mobile all calls to the car, simple.

When I transferred to O2 they don't do dual sim, when I took the sim out of the...

Both our P2 V70's have been upgraded to the Volvo police spec discs (320mm) and pads and neither car has shown any signs of excessive wear or vibration 80k and 128k respectively.

Contact Rufe (FRF Swansea) on here. Give him the trim code and he will sort you out with just the fascia or a full kit.

Totally agree with the last comment a digital box with a remote eye would give a much better install with a hidden box.

I have Digital TV in the wife's V70 Kenwood head unit with Kenwood Digital...

Hi Slurpy

The Inlet manifold has to come off on the 5 cylinder cars but not the alternator.
The job is fiddly but not difficult, the top inlet manifold bolts are removed the lower ones slackened...

If it's like the 5 cylinder engines that where the PCV system is mounted. It could be blocked or one of the connections to the block could be perished.

Changing the PCV on the 5 cylinder engines...

Make sure its the right alternator for your car they come in 3 types 120amp 140amp and 160amp outputs.

I think 140amp are the most common but check the numbers as advised by V70Torslanda.
Most...

Change the Voltage Regulator Mounted on the back of the alternator.
One of the diodes will have died/fried allowing charge when running but draining the battery when engine off if two go no charge...

There is the throttle position sensor on the Accelerator Pedal, The ETM (Electronic throttle module) or the MAF all can give the symptoms you describe.

Look at the ETM (under the inlet manifold if...

Obvious, but have you checked the Power steering fluid level? Low fluid will cause a sound like creaking, common fault is at the hose clip at the bottom of the reservoir. I only use Volvo fluid to...

Got a neighbour who flushed his 2008 D5 (63k first flush) last month using Comma ASW1L (JWS3309) he has covered 4800 miles since the flush (private hire at Gatwick)
He has just told me no problems...

I dont know if the system in the S60 is different but the V70 plays CD's in the Headunit the RTI DVD unit is located in the luggage area near side.

Hi
There is a member on here who actually designed the rear seat entertainment system for Volvo. He has a business in Surrey I got in touch with him while researching Digital upgrades for the TV...

Glad it turned out to be so simple, lucky you didn't run the box to long on the wrong ATF.
I did some research on the Comma ATF last year it is JWS 3309 compliant and the price was very attractive...

I think you have just read a list of the Electronic Control Modules in the car not fault codes.
You actually need a code reader to read the codes and reset them.
After starting are there any...

If your Transmission is 5 speed then it doesn't have a filter, however the early 5 speed transmission's did suffer from a sticking or leaking B4 solenoid. The symptoms are flaring between 2nd-3rd...

Its such a shame that the Volvo Head Units with built in changers seem to be so flimsy they fail on P1 and P2 V70's in my experience.

That's the reason I have changed 3 cars over to Kenwood double...

If you change springs you would be better considering a rising rate spring.
Soft in the first 30% of compression then stiffening through the remaining travel.

Then there is the shocks with a...

Check the "O" rings on the heater pipes at the bulk head

Even with you on board you will have an all up weight just over a ton so if it's standard you should have around 220bhp per Ton.
That sounds like it would be pretty damn lively on a loose surface...

Word of warning don't just get the wheels tidied up, they will look OK for a while but the lacquer will continue to lift.

We had a Car Valet used to come around every Friday after a couple of...

I don't think just going to a HP Turbo is practical as the main engine ECU fuel pump and regulator plus injectors may all need to be changed. I stand to be corrected though? after all if you through...

Google Rica or BSR both do soft loader versions (means you can load it yourself) or talk to your Volvo Main Agent some are offering ECU upgrades now.

A remap should give around 230 hp from your...

I always use Volvo coolant if I have to top up just to be safe. Dear but we have never had problems with seals etc.
If your coolant was at min when cold check it again hot before topping up.
