2001 Volvo V70 - What might malfunction next?
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I've got a 2001 V70 T5 that is frustrating my wife. More so the dealer than the car, but since sometimes it has to go to the dealer for service when I can't get to it the next result is the same - she wants to get rid of it. Right now the car has 94k on it and we've owned it since 11k.
Thus far it hasn't been a "bad" car, but I haven't felt it all that service free either. Suffice to say it could be better. These are the things I've repaired or had repaired over the years that I don't consider wear items: [ul][*]Leaking PS pump[*]Strut tower plates[*]Motor mount a couple of times[*]Fuel pump[*]A hell of a lot of headlight / tail light bulbs - what is with these cars?[*]Front and rear oxygen sensors[*]Intake air tract pipe[*]Throttle body repair, later followed by recall and $$$ refund[*]Brake booster, I just did that one a few weeks ago[/ul]I've got a timing belt and tensioner and plan to replace that when my lift is operational in my new garage. Are there any how-to or write ups with hints on this operation?
Question is - what else can I expect to need repair on this car, that is, common items that are well-known to malfunction?
Thanks much,
Ron
