I just don't know.If you come bring that video you shot at the last meet. I'll see what I can do, James has it on his laptop and never gave a copy. I know Eric has a copy of it as well on his desktop. It definitely made for good times. Also, I have something I'd really like to have installed before the meet, but not sure time will allow. We'll see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97Rwagon Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Wow, bad news for me - Dealer claims the R needs $4200 in repairs. The ABS module is malfunctioned, which is the reason for the speedometer not working. How they relate, I have no clue.There is a broken motor mount, and broken CV boot. The tranny needs to be flushed.The rear main seal needs to be replaced. My dad just told them to fix the ABS and the motor mount. That is $2000 bucks. I desperatly hope I have the car back for the meet. I will be very devistated if I dont.I had no idea the sled was in such bad shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which motor mount do you need replaced?For the ABS, please check here: http://home.earthlink.net/~vicrocha/Volvo_...lvo_V70_ABS.htmPlease, please, please do not authorize the repairs yet.The ABS module is where the 96+ cars receive their speed signal from.Tranny flush you can do yourself. Copied from Volvospeed's Repair & Maintenance Section:The transmission could be flushed/refilled by you at home using new, clean transmission fluid, meeting DEXRON III G specifications. (Total volume needs to be at least16 liters) Check your owners manual to make sure of the type of fluid you should be using.Remove the battery and battery shelf. Remove the return hose on the control system (valve body). Install a plastic plug in the connection on the cover (valve body) and a transparent plastic hose on the oil return hose connection. Position a container for the oil with markings for the volume under the hose. Temporarily reinstall the battery shelf and the battery.Apply the parking brake, gear selector in park, start the engine and allow the engine to idle. Switch the engine off when 2 quarts of oil have been pumped out or when air bubbles become visible in the hose. Top up with 2 quarts of oil. repeat this procedure 7 times. Check the color of the oil, when the color of the oil is clear red (as new oil), switch off the engine and connect the return hose to the control system (valve body) cover. Check and adjust the oil level.The above procedure is the official Volvo procedure for flushing the transmission. It is a bit simpler to disconnect the top connector at the radiator, you can do this just know that you will not be flushing the cooler when you do this. Transmission Fluid should last forever, but driving conditions and time have shown that things don’t always turn out in real life like they do on paper. The newer transmissions with lock up in the lower gears as well as some transmissions even go into neutral at a stop should make the fluid last longer, keep your eye on the fluid condition and change it when needed. (your mileage may vary) Transmission Line Removal To remove the transmission line pry open in the direction of the yellow arrows to open the clip, and then pull in the direction of the blue arrow. This is the top connector and it is the one we disconnect at the shop. The top hose is the fluid coming from the transmission, the connection down at the bottom (Green arrow) is the fluid returning to the transmission after passing through the radiator for cooling.
