I had the tank drained to get the gauge calibrated. We put 1 gallon in. I then drove six blocks to a gas station and filled the tank. It took 19 gallons.

This is an 1998 V70R.

I'll tell my son you said so. Thanks.

Volvo customer support tells me the tank is 18.5 capacity. That makes me feel retroactively nervous about putting 18 in it the other day.

I had the impression that it feeds air to the exhaust to help in burning off unused fuel or something like that. When the car throws codes about it, it's during operation. I've never had it code during starting. For whatever reason, the car seems to not want to rev past about 5500 lately. It's bring...

All good advice, thanks. The kid (he's only in his md 30s) is good. I even let him work on my 911. In fact he's the only person in town that I would let work on it. Apparently most brands are now releasing almost all of their dealer-only info to the general market. Volvo is still holding off. I may ...

The part is about $300, so on the assumption that it wouldn't affect running, I've been putting off getting a new pump until I hit the lottery. But I found somewhere on the Web something that makes me think maybe the ECU knows the pump is...

Thanks, I'll see if I can get more info. I don't think they're scamming me, for two reasons: 1. They're the top Bosch shop in the country and are famously straight shooters; 2. The tech in question is my son, who was a big player in winning the award for them, and (a) he wouldn't scam any customer a...

My favorite tech is limited in what he can do on my V70R because Volvo doesn't reveal all the information about the codes stored by the computer. They're pretty on top of things over there, but I just wondered if anyone knows a source for the "secret" info?

Thanks,

I figure it's a treat for mine just to have me sittin' on 'em.
