1999s70 (George) over on Swedespeed posted the following which I hope you will find highly informative and helpful: As one who is on his 5th Electronic Throttle Module (ETM) and 4th Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF), I’d like to write of my experience with these, in particular noting the symptoms of their ...

It’s has been over a year since we have introduced the Non - Contacting ETM upgrade. The purpose of this post is to make all of you “Due It Yourselfers” aware of the potential issues and problems that others like you have come across during their own ETM installation. We hope you find this informati...

Judging from what I see on other 850/S/V/70s on the road a lot of these brake off and never get replaced. The aftermarket URO brand part sells for around $70 - $80 depending on your MY (see FCP Groton). Needless to say, the genuine Volvo replacement part is much more expensive. If your air guide bra...

First post here, but definitely not new to Volvos... I'm going to be installing my headliner next weekend, so i can post installation procedures, but I am guessing, it will be pretty much the reverse of the install instructions which were VERY helpful.

My 1998 S70 GLT has 150K miles , both Upper and Lower Trans Cooler hoses started leaking a few drops on the driveway each day. No big leak, but it is annoying. New O-rings did not help as the factory hose loses the sealing effect at the crimp area. New Trans Cooler Hoses (PNs 9180542 and 3507931) ar...

I have a fuel leak, which came from the top (EVAP hose, which was replaced), fuel was also dripping from where the gas tank and filler plastic pipe meets, not sure if it came from EVAP hose or the rubber gasket (that seals the gas tank and filler pipe). Since I plan to keep this car for another 5-7 ...

For XC90 REAR wiper refill, Volvo does not sell refill, you have to buy the whole wiper assembly for about $16. Not a bad price but there is an inexpensive alternative. I was in a hurry and stopped by local Advance Auto Parts, saw Trico refill. Turned out it was perfect fit. Trico 47-600 Refills , t...
