I hade a XC70 2,5T MY 2006, automatic transmission, between 2009 and 2015. It was a wonderful car and I still miss it. It was perfect for Swedish winters. Now I drive a 2019 Skoda Superb 4X4 but every now and then I thinking of getting a XC70 again.
When I test drove 2001 v70 XC this month I knew it was the car for me. I always liked the practicality of Subaru Outback but terrible engine. Edit : the transmission is slipping after one week, here we go!
Calling all xc70 people. I'm looking to buy one. Please give a comprehensive list of problems that I should check for, all generations included. Thanks
I am no longer xc70 person, but my volvo had broken awd system, and ignition coils was failing after long trips (must have few spare ones). But it was awesome car. I think other guys will give you more information. Thanks for waching 😊
Thanks for sharing, I’m a huge fan of the P2 Cross Country’s. I have a 2001 V70XC, equipped mine with a 24”X64” basket on the roof with a 24” LED light bar and LED pod lights on the bumper. Got a bike rack on either side, of the roof basket that’s been modified to carry a full size spare on the roof. Next thing is a a body and suspension lift. Oh and I got a full size high lift on the roof with all the recovery gear down where the spare use to to be.
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude! If You have problem with elbow because of handrest - DO NOT BUY OPEL INSIGNIA first generation. It has so crappy handrests (elbow rests!) and that is why I sold that car and bought V70 2006 :)
The car is more responsive after removing the Angled Gear and the middle shaft. Get it tuned. If it's a 2.3L turbo, it usually has a 16T Turbo charger which is essentially a T5 Spec. But they somehow detuned the XC70 to 197bhp only. Without physically replacing any of the parts (down pipes, exhaust, intercooler), you can get up to 280bhp with simple ECU remapping. And that's really nice.
My volvo have 377000 km i use it daily and there is no big problems. I think most important thing is to check awd system, if its not working repairs will be expensive €€€ . But i have to say these cars are awesome, and buit quality close to perfection.
I was using this farmjack for my jimny to change wheels and do some recovery. But now with volvo i use it less, because there is more risk to damage the car. I used farmjack as a winch for recovery - you can see in my other videos. And its just handy tool.😁
@@ОлегАрхипов-н1ц я ещё нет, но решился и ищу, до этого лет 15 на ВАГ, сейчас тоже хотел, но мощные, полноприводные какие то сложные, с малоресурсными, проблемными движками и как то заметил хс70 2.5т на механике, до этого думал что все они дизельные на автомате.. попробую
Im here in Lancaster PA and I have a 05 XC70 and I got mine lifted 2in and had new struts installed. I also put on 2157016 Toyo AT3 tires. 225k she look good runs mint.
@@LordCommandor Hell yeah! I got the parts to do it but, now with my new work schedule really screwed my time putting them together. I will be using sick time like fake an injury or something to take the weekend off soon. XC70's looks cool lifted.
