What’s the Importance of Your 2009 XC70’s Transmission?

They're often easy to notice. Volvo XC70 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, a feeling of shakiness, 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.

2009 Volvo XC70 Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Volvo? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. 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. Defying your XC70 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. 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? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2009 XC70’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • 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.

  • 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.
