Re: OBD2 Software
Take a look at www.scantool.net they have some great products at very reasonable prices. I have been using their "Elmscan 5" for years and it works great.

Re: 1998 s70 will not run
Hi Bob I stumbled upon this thread as was very interested in seeing what the final culprit was. My question was that you had stated the car ran great when you parked it and after sitting for 10 days now the cam timing is off , how can that happen?? I am sure there is a logical explanation but it ...

Re: S70 alignment
Just my two cents but there is a phenomenon known as radial tire pull that I have recently had an issue with after installing a new set of tires,(just something to think about) Tire Rack has a good how-to write up on this if you think this could even remotely be the issue.

Re: Can you recommend parts catalogs for Volvo V70 T5's ?
I might have an old Vadis disc lying around here somewhere, let me know if you are interested. As stated above I think it only works on XP but am not sure. To be quite honest I rarely use it, most all the part numbers I have ever needed I have found here or on the other volvo sites or somewhere on ...

Re: Are there more than two O2 sensors on S70?
There are only two sensors on the car. One before and one after the catalytic converter. I am no technician but If you could post the specific codes that are present I am sure someone on this board can help better diagnose this problem in detail and help get to the root cause.

Re: Should I buy this car with blown motor ??
Thank you all for your input. After reading the replies and thinking it over today, it looks like I am going to pass this one up. At first I thought it was a rocket deal and something I could get back on the road for a reasonable amount of cash. After thinking about the time and hassle of either ...

Should I buy this car with blown motor ??
Hello, I have a possible line on a 1998 S70 turbo with 240,000 mi on the clock. I talked to the owner on the phone and the car is a good condition except for the fact the motor is shot. He was driving the car when it suddenly stopped(I don't have all the details). He had it towed to an auto shop and ...

Re: V70 doesn't warm up
Buy a good quality unit from a trusted parts supplier, don't be tempted by the $2.99 unit on the rack (ask me how I know). Also be aware that multiple temp ranges are available for your vehicle and to be sure you have the correct one, double check by finding the temp rating that is stamped on the ...

Re: Best spring seats
Sounds good, I will go with IPD(Volvo) xc90 seats @$40 each compared to the dealer's price of $54. I guess my main concern was are the s70 H.D units any better than the standard xc90 units? I really got "kicked in the groin" by buying the complete front suspension kit and expecting all the component ...
