V70: General love the car but strange noises

[biggs312800]

Hi guys

Ive had my v70 d5 for about 2 months now and i love it

The only two problems i have at the minute are a constant loud squeak coming from behind the front passenger seat (sounds like the exhaust is loose or some sort of mount) and the other problem that has just arisen is from the front end when i turn the wheels and move at low speed it feels like i'm running on the rims, but i cant put it down to being the auto box, engine or the steering

My other question is not problem related

I'm after a spoiler for the rear and just wondered what series my v70 is. Its the new shape but with the smaller badge and will stuff from an 08 v70 fit mine
and also is it possible to fit a dual exhaust to this model

many thanks

The noise you describe doesn't happen to be a droning from the transmission on selecting reverse does it?

The second noise you describe may be the N/S/F wishbone rear hydro bush. Mine had split and was leaking oil but was replaced (whole new wishbone) under warranty. It sounded like a clunking noise when turning at low speed.

As for the other questions, your V70 is mk3, 07 onwards. Any rear spoiler sport/R-Design will fit. The dual exhaust is something I'm wanting to do myself. A cursory glance under my car shows to do it proper I would need new exhuast (it's a single piece all the way to near the front of the car - think gear stick area - so not likley to be cheap) along with fixings, new rear bumper (unless you just cut a hole in your current one) and new heat shields under the car (unless you modify the one you have and don't bother with the other).

Ideally I need to get underneath a later dual exhaust car to check all the mouting points, at the momment I'm assuming that as T6's, regardless of year where dual exhaust then we will already have all the mouting points.
