Buying V70 D5
Hi all,
Went to see the above today. 7 seat SE on an 02 plate. 95.5k on the clock with next service due in about 700miles. Would appreciate some help with the following before I take the plunge. 1) Service book is all stamped , but does not say when cambelt was changed. When should that have been ? 2) Based on the above mileage would the next service be a major or minor service or do Volvo just do one standard service every 12kmiles. 3) A/C blows cold, but although I can hear the fan working hard, there is very little force in the air coming out of the vent (even when I select face vent only). Is this a known problem or has the main blower duct has worked its way loose/blocked ? 4) It has the Dolby PL sound system , should this have a sub-woofer in the spare wheel well? 5) Is there still a demand for 7 seat estates? I would have thought with the current generation of MPV and SUV, there wouldn't be much of a difference between the 5 and 7 seat V70. Does the current new legislation make it illegal for children to sit on the rear facing seats ? 6) Are there any common mechanical /electrical faults I need to look out for? Thanks. I hope moderators wont mind if I repost this in the General Issues section as well. |

Thanks
How many auxillary belts are there and does the coolant get changed at this service? What would Volvo or an indie charge for this service. |

One auxiliary belt.
It is recommended that coolant change form part of every 24k miles / 2 yearly service, so on that basis, yes, at 24k x 4 = 96k it's due a coolant change. No idea about cost, sorry; my 2.4T is only at 40k miles. To add some more sub info; as already posted it is not standard fit, but if you decide to buy one you will (a) need a spacesaver spare wheel (which the car probably has, so no worries) and (b) the shallow plastic tray (or no tray, just the hinged lid) over the wheel well, not the "stepped tray" deeper on the right hand side and shallower on the left. Finally, implied already but stated formally for your peace of mind; 96k is the first scheduled cambelt change so nowt to worry about that there is no mention in the paperwork of previous change.
