My 1998 S70 Won't Warm Up Topic is solved

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 13 Nov 2004, 09:17

Greetings,

My 1998 S70 takes about 10 to 15 minutes to put out heat from the vents. The engine temp gauge stays at very low for several minutes; then, after 10 minutes or so, it slowly moves up and the air gets slightly warmer. What can be done to fix this? I just read something about a "thermostat" or flushing the coolant . . . what's that? How much money (USD) am I looking at?

Thanks

a thermostat is something you get added in and it cost about $50usd where i got mine, its a pretty fast procedure

Here's a How-To on replacing the termostat in 850s. S70s and V70s should be nearly identical.

That and many other How Tos are linked to from my Home page.
