Re: How is the Reliability of C70? C70 2001

posted by  someone claiming to be Carl on  Mon Apr 9 16:14 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hi,

My creaks and groans look like this:

1. Right end of dash cracks when cold and I go over end of driveway (small angled curb really).

2. Sunroof appears loose, clunks when closed going over bumps. Dealer to check next service on 17th.

3. Some sort of clunk when driver window is 3/4 way down, and being lowered. Also when down, and 3/4 way down coming up. Anyone had this? Sounds like could be the cable problem I heard once mention of?

4. Oil piston valve (I think it is called) in engine bay whines. There was rumored to be a replacement part that is some what quieter, but I am no fan of taking things apart done at the factory. I'll catch it when I do the timing belts.

5. Door rattle.. No wait, that was just my sunglasses in the side pocket rattling with the radio.

On the recalls, I don't actually know. there have been others that posted some of them. I suggest a brand new post with that question. I would not be surpised to see:

1. Flasher unit

2. Light sockets

3. Turn signal indicator

(early models) rear windows seal on coupe

4. Convertible only real trunk hinges that are rumored to prevent leaks in

tunk when open door. never seen these myself.

5. oil something or other valve in motor. Just whines, does not seem to be an problem, just noisy.

I would search S70 and V70 archives. Oh, i can say that the ECU program is rumored to be unique to the C70s, not same as S70 or V70.

Could be some of those, and/or more. Would also be interested in list too.

Carl
