Volvo AWD V70-XC70 2001

04 Feb 01

Must See: Volvo AWD Service Bulletin.

I do not have an AWD Volvo, but I do get the Service Bulletins. It looks like a must read for all you AWD people. Go to your dealer and ask for a copy. It is too long for me to reproduce here.

This one is Titled:

850 1997/S70/V70/V70 XC 1998-2000/V70 XC 2001-1997-

Section 4, Group 46, No. 0005, Year 01, Month 01

AWD Wheels/Tires, Information and Function Test.

It is 8 pages long. On page 5 is a simple description of how to check your viscous coupling with only a jack and a torque wrench.

All the best.

    Actually the correct way to get the service bulletin is to call 1-800-25-Volvo, the dealer is not there to make copys of repair information.

      Re: Any Service Bulletin V70-XC70 2001

      It's also a pretty useless bulletin IMHO as it really doesn't tell us technicians anything that we don't already know. It does practically nothing to help pinpoint the exact cause of AWD component failures, really doesn't help us to properly diagnose a noise or vibration problem.

      As for the tire info, that too is nothing new.
