Can anyone assist with XC70 transmission. I have read where 2001-2003 had a problem. Was this fixed by 2005
XC70 Thinking of buying 2005 XC70 but concerned about transmission
No
Was NOT fixed

You could say it was delayed via software update to ensure the majority survived through the warranty period but still the same fundamental flaws

Yep can confirm, mums 2005 which was going great at 67000 when purchased, starting to have issues now at 87,000, Ive advised her to flog it whilst she still can, she refuses so watch this space for auto replacement at 107000 xD
One of mine done 250,00 klm with no issue 2005 model but i do change the oil every 40,000 so sold to a customer and still going strong............change oil and fit cooler to make them last
Yep cooler on mums one, regular changes, heck we did the big flush at 67k when we got it, I did another at 75k, a change at 82k and due to the trans cooler line blowing off it got another at 87k only now it will have to get yet another at 90k. I even fitted an external oil filter to it to prevent gunk from entering back into the auto. Mums a slow and steady careful driver, she took it to Volvo had all the software updated.
But here we are at 87k, it makes some really quite dreadful whining noises at times, it will go into limp home mode at any given time for no real reason, usually it will give you 1st, 2nd and 3rd and thats it. Maybe 4th if your daring enough to above about 120km/h, 5th yeah good luck it ain't gonna happen. Manual mode becomes completely useless. Makes some average sounding noises whilst changing gear and it certainly aint smooth.
Still, could be worse I suppose. At least it's still going.
