Wireless computer problem No one seems to have heard of this!

Our 2008 XC70 has a problem with the tire computer.

Right now, I have a slow leak in one of the wheels - I had another wheel cleaned at my tire store acouple of months ago.

If I do not address the low tire pressure warning over night, the remote key will not let me in the car - I have to use the emergency key.

After I use the car, the remote will lock the doors, but it will not open them.

Now, I cannot get the low pressure warning to go out - all 4 sensors have been tested at several pressures and they work fine.

My dealer knows nothing about this issue, and a phone call to Volvo of North America yields no results.

My son-in-law says that this does make some sense an the wireless computer in Subarus controls the remote and the tire sensors.

Any comments?

Hi Jim,

Another William Bendix fan from Swampscott.
Did you get that 1800 fixed up?

Sadly no. It is a fixture on my patio.

Know anyone who could use a decent 1800 that is mostly stripped down to the drive train?

My plan was a pseudo race car with hidden headlights.

Hi Jim,

Turn it into an E-car.
Look for parts at the MIT flea market this Sunday in Cambridge.

Best, Bill
