Hi, I was wondering if the documented valve body transmission problems in certain XC70 models are only found in the MY01-02 model? Are MY00 guaranteed to not have that problem? I've encountered some strange models between MY98 and MY00, which seems to be a time of experimentation for Volvo since there's so much rapid changes in those years. Cheers

99 and 00 P80 chassis had 5spd version of 6spd P1 and P2? box which failed just as much as the later ones up to 2004/5 I think maybe 06 too.
Generally, don't buy one no matter what, it may fail today or next week or next year
Some get high mileage out of them but seem to be one owner cars, it's a lottery and like a lottery, not many winners...

99 and before had 4 speed. 00 had 5 speed. 4 speed is good, 5 speed is bad but gets marginally less bad after 05 revisions but still bad. Go by VIN year otherwise you can get tricked about what you think might be in a car as the sale dates all overlap a lot so some 00s sold in 99, some 99 in 00 etc
