Can Volvo drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

How do I know if my Volvo drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Volvo V70, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often will I need Volvo V70 differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my V70?

A multitude of problems can activate your V70’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Is it possible to reset the V70 malfunction warning light on my own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your V70's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your V70.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my V70 serious?

A drivetrain malfunction in your V70 should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my V70 drivetrain include the transmission?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your V70 is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
