I would definitely include window switches for a high failure rate in the P80s. Had to clean or change them in more than one 70 series car. And the ABS controller (solder joint failure)

[@NorthernChev]

Lol. Who else here, like myself, had every one of these issues in this video?

[@Twobarpsi]

Haha! Me!

[@bossyspaghetti]

FUEL PUMP ON cx70s! Replacements under $600 WILL fail within 6 months.

[@animalryan6716]

@6:32.. That top mount is for the models after the 850 s70 v series.. It's in the 2000s and up lol

[@rickj1983]

How about the cheap plastic dash mounts that break the first time it gets cold?

[@ieast007]

The Fuel Pump Relay has a bad capacitor that will leave you stranded when it fails.

[@wralford]

I've had every issue except the key fob, because I don't have a remote. To this I would add the A/C unit and turbo. Note that both of these are not made by Volvo. Do not replace these with OEM; the aftermarket ones are actually better.

[@michaelchitwood6226]

Good informative video. Thank you.

[@vteckid82]

Go OEM on the PCV hoses, anything else will split within a year. Ask me how I know

[@lyzander_Haro]

Can't forget about the oil dipstick seal and oil cap seal!

[@twig3288]

Front speed sensor reluctor rings corroding losing teeth and triggering the ABS system unnecessarily.

[@clydet9169]

Great video!

[@vickicross9670]

What is wrong with my ignition on my 99 Volvo Wagon V70 the key won't start it and then he will just go around and around and around

[@gerrydepp8164]

4:46 I recommend pushrods...

[@scrambaba]

I would add licence plate frames

[@Twobarpsi]

My 98 v70 had 5 of these problems!

[@coyoteserranoband]

Good morning! I had a question about the longevity of valve springs, seals and misfires. I have a 95 volvo glt wagon and I've done everything to clear my computer codes, now it just has a 4th cylinder misfire and i troubleshooted, did a compression lest and a leak down. it's 45 psi/ 4th and I can hear air coming from the cylinder, however I drive it over 1000 miles a month! Works fine!. My question is, could I just swap out my valve springs and seals in that cylinder to remedy the problem? Thanks !!

[@Prodriver33]

I have an 06' XC70, it has started puking out fibers from the muffler (looks like I ran over a horse lol) I want to get a slightly higher flow muffler replacement but I don't want a group B rally car for a school runner, any recommendations?

[@charlesrussell3833]

I have a 2004 Volvo S60R I just replaced my thermostat/housing I live in Las Vegas (super hot out here) I went on a drive just to see how the car would act( I drove it at night so still hot but less hot then during the day 100•F lol) I let it run for 20 min then took it on a 30min drive once I pulled into my driveway I got the message again say to turn off the car low coolant levels. 🤦🏽‍♂️ maybe it just needed to get the the rest of the air out of the system, but I’m thinking it’s time to replace the timing belt/ water pump. What are your thoughts on it ? Thanks for reading my messages.

[@xxxpkersxxx]

You should also add all the IPD branded parts to the list of frequent failures.

[@MrKushinator420]

Why's that?

[@SandelsG]

PCV cleaning its not very easy stuff

[@juliocesarayala9283]

[@jamie-ox8sg]

I went to key fob as mine has failed to lock the car unlocks after multiple tries but very rarely locks the car no help here at all

[@This.Here.Channel]

Does the key fob work for the 93 850? I was told the 93, because of how quirky it is, doesn't have the same kind of fob.

[@vickicross9670]

How come my ignition key just goes around and around and around in my 99 Volvo Wagon and it will not start how do I fix that

[@vickicross9670]

My ignition on my 99 Volvo is broke the key just turns around and around and around it will not turn over

[@WreckEmRacing]

This video should be titled standard maintenance items & then would be applicable to EVERY VEHICLE. Video is a IPD sales ad & a waste of time.
