Re: Any thoughts on Volvo V70 XC AWD Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] (#112) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SWEDECAR) on Sun, 24 Feb 2008 09:45:09 In Reply to: Any thoughts on Volvo V70 XC AWD, 2garfields, Sun, 24 Feb 2008 09:35:48 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The first years of the AWD had several issues with the system.
The angle gear box (transfer case) leak oil and the innards got destroyed by lack of lubrication.
The front rubber boot on propeller shaft broke due to the heat from catalytic converted and destroyed the C/V joint from lack of grease.
The torque tube at the rear of propeller shaft went bad.
It is very crucial that all 4 tires are the same brand/size and worn evenly so that the rolling diameter is kept the same all the time. Otherwise it will wear out the rear drive line.
Other than that, it has the same pros and cons as the other V70s.
So if all the service records and repair invoices are there, take a look at them and see what's been replaced already and what you can expect.
