You do see some cars as "spares or repairs" with gearbox issues, mostly north of 150k miles, but the main issue is the lack of a transmission oil change in the Volvo service schedule which results in clogged and sticky valve bodies - and this to some extent affects all platforms that use it.

As far as 0-60 sprints are concerned, honestly, how often do you do them in reality? Even at 50% throttle away from lights, I find myself out accelerating 99% of other traffic. Full throttle is pretty lairy! Put another way, I have not modified my driving style to save the box...other than maybe using less throttle due to the car being so quick! |

Is that a full change including filter or a ‘sump dump’?

It's just an oil drain and refill by my local auto box specialist. They know the AW-55 well and said the filter was not necessary, fresh oil alone should be good enough.

How are you getting on with the map? I'm looking at options for my car and the RICA softloader + map is really expensive (over £600 in total).

Delivery is very lazy compared to a petrol so most overtakes are done in 4th gear, even from as low as 35mph. The torque just wafts you along, it's great |

Hi. Did you get this re-map done by Celtic motors? If so how's it going? I'm near Carmarthen and am thinking of a remap.

It was me who was thinking of a remap with Celtic and no I didn't get it done - yet. I've had more pressing things to think about, namely the dreaded electrical problems, wipers on etc. I've just had a new CEM fitted which I hope will fix the problem.
My C70 is going away for the winter at the end of October. I may get it done when it comes out of hibernation in April next year but I'm still nervous about the gearbox. J |
