Hi im new to this site so hope im posting in the right section!
I have a C70 05 plate i have had it from new, it has now started to "whistle from the passengers side window at 50 mph plus, any ideas what is causing this and how to stop it? we have only done 30k not that this should be a factor,my dealer sold up and the nearest one is over 20miles away, anyone have a similar problem? any help would be gratefully received thanks

does anyone else C70 floor out going over speed humps, and have a really poor turn circle and steering groans at full lock?

Hi Dave there is a specific C70 section

http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=16

can't help with most BUT accoding to most of the reviews one of the 'faults' of the original C70 (which I assume your's is being an 05) is the truely appalling (supertankeresque) turning circle

Hi Dave

I'll echo what Waylander says about the specific forum section, and about the turning circle - supertankeresque is about right!

Can't help with the whistle; the groaning is probably where the steering is fighting against the stops at full lock. You'll see lots about that if you search the relevant section of the forum.

As for flooring over speed humps, I have the so-called "dynamic lowered chassis" on mine and occasionally a large speed bump can be a problem, but usually (at least so far - phew!) it is the metal guards under the sump that actually catch the road.

Hope that helps

David
