Why is Your 2003 XC70’s Transmission So Important?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your XC70’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Volvo XC70 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. Let Volvo XC70 transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your XC70 at all.

Questions About 2003 Volvo XC70’s Transmission

  • 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Volvo tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your XC70 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my XC70's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Volvo XC70’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Volvo's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Volvo XC70? Yes. Volvo XC70 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Who can fix my  Volvo XC70 transmission leak? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for XC70 transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Volvo XC70 if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your XC70 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
