Re: 1999 S70 Auto-Temp Blower not working. Switch?

You can probably pull out the fan motor and clean it, and get it to run another year or so. Maybe two years if you keep AC and heat down. The replacement TYC is half the cost of Volvo and has good reviews.

Re: 98 v70, white exhaust smoke, seek mechanic near Glens Falls NY

Top radiator hose outlet on the radiator is a weak spot, especially if the engine mounts are failing or broken as it puts more stress on the radiator as the engine rocks back and forward more. Mine broke after just having been at the dealer for sub-frame bushes. Sure they had nothing to do with it f...
