I just became a FWD/AWD owner this October after years of running 240s. Everything has been as good as one could expect with the '99 V70XC so far, but there is one minor concern. The charge indicator lamp stays on sometimes after the engine has been started, and won't go out until the throttle has been blipped a little, then all is well. It wasn't a problem until this morning when She Who Must Be Obeyed reached in and fired it up, and went into the house to let it warm up. when she emerged to depart the driveway, the chariot was dead, battery and all. I threw another battery into it and drove it the rest of the day without incident, other than the light needing some throttle to go out. have others experienced this? is an alternator purchase in my near future?
