Volvo XC70 parts reviews

Didn’t even have to replace the battery in that time (11 years).

On my 2005 P2 cars (XC70 and S60R), after multiple issues with aftermarket windshields and rain sensor problems, a Volvo windshield was installed. This resolved the issues, leading the location to change policy to only use Volvo windshields for Volvos.

It’s now got an 85°c Mishimoto thermostat. Took it out today and got it up to temp and did multiple 0-85mph pulls. The new thermostat opens at 85°C/185°F. Under load the coolant never registered above 197°F!!!!

I prefer synthetic. Wix filter

I have 336mm factory Brembo pads/rotors and they have no issue bringing my moose to cornering speeds on track.

If it is a coil then use only oem or used oem from junkyard. Other brands are not just good enough

I have religiously changed the oil every 5000 miles for the past 30,000 miles or so with Liqui Moly 5-W30. I think it consumes about 1 quart of oil every 1500 miles or so so I figured maybe this would help that.

I have a 2003 XC70. The coils go out suddenly with no warning. But they're cheap. Grab a new set and you'll be good to go.

We put a set of these on our 05 XC70 last year. 11K miles later they are down to 4/32 - 5/32. The tread wear is indeed terrible on these.

the oil pressure light came on for a second. I checked the oil and it was very low (despite having recently checked it before a trip. I brought it to the dealer and they let me know about the piston ring TSB. If Volvo decided that your car burns too much oil, they replace the piston rings.
