go to volvoxc.com and do a search. My vehicle was a 2000 V70 XC. I had many problems with this vehicle. Replaced AWD last fall (2K), replaced blower motor for AC and Heat last fall ($400). ABS was intermittant and going ($1000) as was the Electronic Throttle Control ($1000)..Instead of fixing these I cut my losses. From what I read this vehicle had many problems. Visit that forum and look around. It will answer many of your questions showing the good and bad of Volvo. I think when ford got involved there were many problems with the vehicles.

I replaced with a 2003 Subaru Outback and love it!
