Car Forum / Volvo Cars / December 20052001 v70 xc vibration
I'm hoping someone can shed light on this problem I'm having. I've developed a vibration in the drivetrain during acceleration . It's rather severe, not a knock but an occillation that transfers into the body. It seems to come from the front. As soon as I let off the gas it disappears completely. I have noticed that it gets worse during a right turn and almost completely disappears in a left turn. The frequency seems related to road speed rather than RPM. Dealer has replaced right front drive axle, tie rods and bushings to no avail. Car does not seem to vibrate at all when cold. Car has 103,000 miles on it. Any ideas would be appreciated as dealer seems to only be changing parts in a process of elimination. > I'm hoping someone can shed light on this problem I'm having.

Bob  SignatureThe goal when driving is to miss the maximum number of objects. Thanks for the info...I'll try this. >> I'm hoping someone can shed light on this problem I'm having.

Common and typical. Find a shop that has > done a few. First, a 2001 V70XC doesn't have a Haldex coupling. It has a visco. Second, the angle gear is not part of the Haldex, although it is part of the AWD driveline. The angle gear is an expensive part, I'm afraid. Dont know exactly what the cost is though. >>I'm hoping someone can shed light on this problem I'm having. I've developed >>a vibration in the drivetrain during acceleration .

Now you guys really have me confused. Do we know if '01 has the haldex box? is it similar to a CV joint? I want to sell this car, it's in fine shape otherwise but I don't feel good selling it witht his problem. >>>I'm hoping someone can shed light on this problem I'm having.

Do we know if '01 has the haldex box? No, it has viscous coupling. SignatureCheers, Steve Henning in Reading, PA, USA Owned '67,'68,'71,'74,'79,'81,'87,'93,'95 & '01 Volvos. The '67,'74,'79,'87,'95 and '01 through European Delivery. http://home.earthlink.net/~rhodyman/volvo.html So if it has a viscous coupling and not the haldex box, I guess that negates the earlier advice. Anyone have other ideas as to what the problem might be? Last dealer thought was that it was the front axles. They replaced the right to no avail. Have not replaced the left yet. >> Now you guys really have me confused. Do we know if '01 has the haldex >> box? > > No, it has viscous coupling. |
