[teddy241091]

Hi ive been looking at a v70 im quite intrested in but whats putting me off is its jumping out first gear any one have any idea what could be???? Its a 4x4 turbo version

[claymore]

could be worn engine or gearbox mounts

Had a look around online some on had same problem an he replaced some mounts an a rubber linkage bush an was still doing it occasionally i think it said. Just wanted to ask on here see if any one knew specificly what it was
It also has slight water leak from waterpump aswell but they said only like a pint per month

Also what are the phase 1 4x4 turbo v70's like mpg wise an reliability? Ive only ever had v40's but want abit more power an comfort now

Hi mate.
You may be better off waiting for a better car to come up, one with fewer problems.
The 2.5 lpt engine has a fair bit of grunt, but will be held back by the 4x4 system a bit.

Its deffinitly guna be more powerful then my v40 1.9tdi 95bhp standered lol so should feel quite quick compared to mine lol an its also lpg converted which is what im reli after

Well, the water pump will need changing, possibly do that with the timing belt?
The gear linkage problem could be down to worn mounts and the gear linkage itself. Toyota MR2 brass bushes are a good replacement for the ends of the linkage, where it connects to the gearbox.

If its poping out of a gear it will most likley be a worn fork not being able to hold it in place

Does it do it on a trailing throttle or under load?
