Advice on buying C70

Poley · Sep 27th, 2020, 19:02

Just popping in here to ask if there any ‘standard’ problems to look for on a 2004 C70 with 2.3litre petrol T5 with manual gearbox?

Look at the sticky further up the page on this forum P80 - C70 killers and standard faults.

When viewing the car make sure everything is working and I mean everything. Open and close the roof several times and check that the rear window is not detaching from the hood - the window is welded in and is difficult to repair if it is coming away, generally a new hood covering is the only long term answer.

Interesting read, not too many specific C70 references, but it has given me a few areas to check!
