Can Volvo drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Volvo drivetrain system?

Hear noises toward the back of your Volvo XC70? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Volvo XC70 differential service?

We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

What causes a XC70’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

If your XC70 has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you clear the XC70 check engine light on your 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 XC70'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 XC70.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my XC70?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your XC70. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your XC70.

Does my XC70 transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your XC70’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your XC70 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

Care for your 2007 Volvo XC70 to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Volvo's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
