[QUOTE=Graeme Catnach;265959]Here's a few common problems that come up on the forum, with solutions where possible. Feel free to add your own or correct me, too! Some may apply to the V70 as well...

Power steering fluid loss - either failure of the hose or seam going on the tank. Known problem by Volvo

Thanks for the info Graeme.
I recently had a leak from the power steering reservoir / drain pipe of my S60 D5. (I got through about a litre of fluid in a month). After removing and cleaning the reservoir and pipe, I couldn't see any damage anywhere so just refitted, but tightened the hose-clip that bit extra. It's been fine for a week now. So I think it's worth checking before buying the parts.

Cheers
Paul
