Let me introduce you to my beloved Sylvie, the indomitable 2005 V70 Special Edition. Sylvie has been my beloved for many many years and we have clocked 324,527 kilometers of pure adventure. Well, mostly pure—there was that one time she decided to infuriate me with her steering wheel bolts, triggering a high-stakes anti-theft showdown. No way could I get that key where it had to go! Fortunately for povo me it was a super quick fix - alas not by me but a man with a spanner - and it didn't break the bank. I guess even Sylvie needs her occasional drama to keep things interesting. She's been pampered with regular servicing and detailing, and only asks for what she needs, kind of like a low-maintenance friend who’s always ready for a road trip. The timing belt? Done at a sprightly 242,000 kilometers. My mechanic says she's only lived half her life—that's right, Sylvie's just hitting her prime at 19 years young! And the driving—smooth as butter. Seriously, Sylvie glides through the streets like she's auditioning for a car commercial. She might be from 2006, but she drives like she’s straight out of the future. She's not just a car; she's a legend in the making. And who knows, maybe she’ll write her own memoir someday—“Driving Miss Sylvie." Seriously though, this car is the best car I have ever had, and at my age I have had quite a few. You know you're hooked when you see another V70 on Car Sales and immediately dive in and buy it. Meet Liam Neeson, a dark grey beauty. Liam has done 285, 922kms, with timing belt changed just before I bought him at 192,000kms. Liam is the dude, but he aint a scratch on Sylvie as he isn't Special Edition. You've got a better chance of finding a unicorn at a petting zoo than stumbling upon a V70 in the used car market in Australia. These beauties are as rare as hens with dental plans! If you spot one that's been pampered with regular servicing and maintenance, ****** it up. It'll probably outlive you!

 

Just bought a v70 with FSH at 197k miles ,it has it issues .I'm going to resolve one by one and bring her back to life .

 

2000 V70 XC AWD Turbo
104,500
Bought barn find w/96K on it from mechanic who brought in yard sale.
Runs great, can’t solve the fuel pump buzz which returned after new OEM was put in 500 miles ago by Volvo dealer.
Looking to quiet that down, will be seeking solutions on the VF. My questions lead me here yet all I e received is the acknowledgment and a few suggestions for gas additives.

 

119K Miles on our 2009 V70 - barely broken in and runs and drives like new!
