Goodbye Volvo S70

I've had a S70 for the past 7 years. Advice from this forum and its members have saved my behind numerous times. Nevertheless, I no longer own a Volvo and don't plan on getting one in the future. Hopefully, I won't offend anyone when I say...Volvos are unnecessarily over engineered maintenance hogs ...

Re: 2001 V70 2.4T bad ignition coil replacement...

Ironically, I changed the spark plugs about 5k miles ago, with NGK brand. They weren't the cheapest but priced mid range. So, I thought they should be ok. Bougicord ... Is this the park plug brand or the wire brand?
Thanks

Re: S70 Double Fuel Consumption + Rough ??


What year?(Later models went to electronic throttle controls, I believe, which is where I would start if you have one of those) Turbo or non-turbo (NA)? Possibly a vacuum hose failed (there are plenty)...any gas smells? Then, failing that... Does your throttle operate normally? Does the engine rev ...

Re: S70 AC Noise

If you take the car somewhere/anywhere to fix it will cost you a lot! But I'm sure you knew that. The main bearing/clutch on the compressor failed on my car. The compressor was fine, but in order to get the bearing and clutch out, I had to get the compressor out. It was just easier to replace the ...

Re: AC Compressor Clutch

Stuck again :!: If it wasn't for the above two inputs I wouldn't have even gotten to this part so thank you very much. The mentioned link has excellent info, however it's not very clear on getting the clutch off the compressor.

Using the three threated holes I've gotten off the 1st plate, but now ...

AC Compressor Clutch

Hi,
How do I get the clutch out?
I've taken the 10mm nut off from the center of the clutch plate. Don't want to pry or force anything and risk damaging anything. There must be a method...anybody done this before ...ideas?
thanks.
