Basic info on my car

stevebg · Mar 30th, 2022, 20:45

So I've recently got back into a volvo and just looking for info on things about it , it's a 2009 v70 d5 185 , silver engine cover if that helps , does this car have swirl flaps ? Is it single or twin turbo , was surprised to see a full size factory dipstick as I'd seen some without and I don't have the digital dipstick on the computer , is there any centre arm rests available for the rear ? Mine just has the centre seat back that folds down leaving a gaping hole in the middle , would be nice is i could get a propwr armrest leaving the centre covered , with cup holders preferablylol , tks for any help

Indeed you do have flaps, Looks like you didn't get the LUX model. The SE was bog spec rear seats.
You have a single turbo. Your car was just before they brought in all the fancy computerised dipstick. If you do your own oil changes, Don't fill it to MAX on the dipstick. Only fill it half way.

Best thing to do is find a broken LUX model and rob the bits from there!
Unless I beat you to it!

A few hidden torx screws located at front and back. I need to re clip mine back into its correct position after the dealer didn't do the job correctly.
I don't have the car at the moment, but I'll report back when I do.
