Access windshield washer hose near pump? 2012 S40
My windshield washer is not squirting (on the windshield). I hear the pump working, and when it's on the fluid leaks down by the tire, so it's obviously the hose near the pump. How does one access this section of hose? It seems deep down in the bowels of the fender region, with no obvious visible ...

Re: 2012 C70 death wobble while accelerating, ~40MPH
Epilogue, part 2.
As I mentioned previously, the boot on the bad joint had a small, 1cm long split near the bottom of the wide section of the boot. I cut off the boot today and examined the joint. It was essentially dry. The metal had a film of grease on it, but there was no bulk grease in the ...

Epilogue
Replaced the right front CV axle today. PROBLEM FIXED!!!!!
Inner CV joint on old axle definitely has issues. I can not angle it freely with my hand. Seems to jam at certain positions.

Re: 2012 C70 death wobble while accelerating, ~40MPH
Further update. The right axle is looking like the source of the problem, but I can't say for sure as I haven't replaced it yet.
Right inner boot has a small hole. The car is 12 years old and axles look original, with the "Volvo" label still visible. Since the car is lifted and the tires are ...

2012 C70 death wobble while accelerating, ~40MPH
My 2012 C70 recently started death wobbling around 40 mph, ONLY while under acceleration, or while the engine is under load, like going uphill. Immediately stops if I let off the accelerator. Engine sounds fine.
No wobble at any speed while coasting.
Suspension seems tight. No clunking or rattling ...

Re: Multiple Error Codes
BTW, "fuse#35" is for my 2012 C70. Fuse numbering may vary between models.

Re: Multiple Error Codes
"P0445: Evaporative Emissions System Purge Control Valve Shorted"
I just started getting the same thing, and fuse #35 keeps blowing. Most of the error codes are due to the blown fuse. A lot of these engine control devices are serviced by this fuse. The FIRST code is P0445 and it's saying the Purge ...

Re: 2009 S40 NA Transmission replacement. TIPS
Are you still interested in this subject? If you don't what to pull the whole engine/tranny assembly here's what you need to do.
These tools make it easier. This assumes you don't have a car lift and/or a transmission jack.
