Default My XC70

Hi guys,
Since I have been active for a while on this forum, it seems descent to introduce myself and show some pictures of my XC70 D5 summum from 2008.

I bought it with 200.000km on the clock. but first owner and full service history from the same Volvo dealer. Brakes and belts had been done and the car looked in absolute mint condition:



















Car drives great and I absolutely love it. Great for longer road trips with the family. I have 2 young kids and it's the absolute perfect family transporter.

Things I have done since I bought it:
Oil change (castrol 0w30 A5), oil filter, diesel filter, air filter, pollen filter
New power steering pump
DPF sensor replacement
aux belts and tensioner

Will post some more pictures soon with my summer wheels (Volvo fortuna 18")

Greetings from Switzerland,
Maarten

Fantastic car and as an owner of a V70 with 2 sets of Diamond Cut Fortuna's, I have to agree, those wheels look fantastic.

Your steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car though, might want to have your dealer check that out!

Good old British humour
