This car is located in Northern WV about 70 miles south of Pittsburgh Pa. I'm adding a link below to my Craigslist ad with pictures. Hope this is OK; the guidelines don't say. 1998 Volvo AWD station wagon with light pressure turbo. 171,000 miles. Features include: heated seats, power driver's seat, ...

Thanks to wizechatmgr and erikv11 for helpful comments. Now that the weather is warm, I may go ahead and change out the heater core since the part isn't expensive but labor would be for someone who isn't a DIY. I lowered the gas tank enough to see the broken wire where it attaches to the level senso...

I want to sell my 98 V70 AWD and thought I would request suggestions on price. The car is located in Morgantown WV, about 70 miles south of Pittsburgh PA. My main question is how much I can expect to get back (if any) for many recent parts. Here is the ad I currently have posted on Craigslist with $...

Ludermilch, my understanding is that the AWD (which i have) and the XC have two sending units, on right and left sides of the tank, connected in series. My guess is that one of your sending units has a short, so the total resistance the system sees is 1/2 what it should be. I have one sender that is...

reggie, If you have electric power (voltage) at the relay pin and the pump itself, you should be able to hear the pump running. If it were me, I would want to test the pump directly by jumping from a battery lead to the pump (very briefly, like a few seconds) with the other pump wire grounded. I sug...

reggie, As Lee suggested, when you check voltage on the red wire at the rear hatch, try connecting the black voltmeter lead to a good bare metal ground on the frame or chassis, and see if that makes a difference. If you get 12 volts relative to the frame, but not relative to the black wire, the lack...

Depends on your goals. If you want a very safe and somewhat luxurious car and are willing to put more money into maintenance, and gas mileage is secondary, an older Volvo is a good choice. If low overall cost and reliability are most important, i would suggest looking for a 15-20 year old Honda or T...

I replaced the button on mine recently but i think the only problem was that the little spring had shifted position. The spring should be placed so that it resists the button being pushed in. I tried to take a picture of the correct position but could not get a good one.

I would call (or ask your mechanic to call) CDS and ask about the front coupling kit for the 98. I bought one several years ago, so i know one was available then. It was about $250 then. He's right about heat failure - the coupling is close to the the exhaust.
