2008 Volvo V70 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Volvo's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Volvo tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your V70’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my V70's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Volvo V70’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Volvo, so check with your technician first. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Volvo V70 leak transmission fluid? Yes. Volvo V70 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
