Re: S70 t5 1998 Aftermarket central locking

I just installed remote start with keyless entry into my 98 V70, I have no original Volvo fobs, no chipped key. On the driver's side door key tumbler are 2 wires, this sends the lock/unlock/disarm signal to the immobilizer module. How the lock works is if you turn the key in the driver's door once ...

Re: P80 positivebattery cable 9456836 NLA , OPTIONS?

I bought one of those pre made battery cables from a part store, with a top post clamp on one side and ring on the other in the same or larger gauge than stock and about the same length, ran the wire down to Smythe starter, tied the old battery cables away and kept the old cable in the harness. The ...

Re: 2000 V70XC Stiff Power Steering

I bet it would be the pump. There has to be a pressure relief in it and either that is releasing pressure too early, or the pump can't put out pressure. If steering input with the engine off is about the same as a car with good steering, I bet the rack is not binding. You can also jack the front ...

Re: 96 850 AWD Upgrades

Oops, I had 225/40ZR18 tires. On Pegasus rims, I was running 235/4*R17 just fine. I can't remember if they were 45 or 40.

Re: 96 850 AWD Upgrades

Wheels are same as any regular. If anything, you may be able to go wider as the rear cambers inwards on compression, where the fwd models don't normally. I run 225/40ZR17 on my 98 V70 AWD, no rub on the back, only slight on the front inner fenders at full lock.

Re: 2001 C70 Intercooler Oil Leak but doesn't appear to be PCV related

The intercooler has a small home on the bottom to let out condensation, this also let's oil leak out, which builds up on the lower splash shield thing. The oil most likely comes from the breather, probably getting more blowby than stock which makes the PCV system not remove as much oil vapor as ...

Re: 98 V70 Alarm Disable

Here is wiring diagram. The 3/100 is the lock actuator/striker in the drivers door. 3/97 is the interior lock switch. I taped into wires going to pin a18 and a16 on the alarm module on the left. I had to use the remote start module to control a relay that connected the wire from pin a1 to either a16 ...

98 V70 Alarm Disable

Is there a way to disable the factory alarm for remote start? On a 98 V70, no chipped key. I installed a remote start, but it sets off the alarm if I try to use the remote start, unless I unlock the doors then re-lock the doors with the remote start remote. I installed it myself on the weekend. I ...

Re: 1998 v70....larger rims and tires

I was pushing the size on my 98 V70 AWD. I had 225/40ZR18 tires on mine. I had slight rubbing at full lock on the front only. My rear suspension is different than fwd. My rear wheels camber in when the suspension compresses, if it didn't do that, I'm sure I would get rear fender rub as well.

98 V70 Remote Car Starter

Has anybody installed a remote car starter in a 98 V70? If so, what modules did you need? I don't have a chipped key, but I was wondering if I would need any modules to bypass whatever security is on the car. I would like to have keyless entry as part of the remote start as well.
