Just picked up my 03 V70 D5 SE, I have to say I'm very impressed. It's so comfortable, and quiet.
Couple of minor niggles though:
There's a noise from the dashboard area, that I thought at first was the climate control fan, but it seems to be linked to when the car is on boost. No throttle, no noise. Is this normal? It is quite noticible. Even my wife commented on it.
Took it on it's first motorway run this morning, and I've been greeted with 'ABS service required' and 'Brake Assist Service Required' messages. This along with a rubbing noise from the nearside front when turning right, leads me to suspect there may be a problem with the braking on that wheel. (Just call me Mr. Holmes!). Could this just be an ABS sensor that's got crudded up from being stood for a couple of months?
Either way, I'll be in touch with the dealer this morning to get them sorted, just wanted an opinon from real people.
Oh and the steering wheel cowl seems to be rubbing and squeaking. I'll have to fettle that this weekend.
Other than that. What a car
Deceptivley quick as well.
