Re: Overheating Weird - Smartest People Needed 2016 XC90

Was the coolant temp sensor replaced? I read you replaced much of the cooling system, but didn't see mention of this. The way the HVAC stops heated air during your overheat is super odd and not a behavior I'm familiar with at all. It does sort of sound electronic in nature. Usually this symptom migh...

Re: Drop transmission pan?

If your trans is already a bit rough, it's generally not advisable to do a full flush or aggressive cleaning. The most recommended method would be to do a series of "drain & fills". Drop the drain plug, usually about 3.5 quarts comes out. Refill with the same amount and do this 2-3 mor...

Re: 2000 S70 Coolant Temp Gauge Fluctuating

Like you, even with that method, I end up usually needing to add some more after a little driving, but as long as it isn't critically low, there's no danger. You wouldn't consider the reservoir being completely empty "critical danger" after having rolled into the gas station, would you? I...

Re: 2000 S70 Coolant Temp Gauge Fluctuating

If you want to save a few bucks, go to a NAPA store and get the Zerex G-05 concentrate and a gallon of distilled water. Zerex is good stuff and is designed for the aluminum engines. It prob won't hurt anything really, but personally I'd want all the same fresh coolant in there. I've always had good ...

Re: 2000 S70 Coolant Temp Gauge Fluctuating

I mean, who knows, throw it in and see if it works fine. I just know over the many years I've been in these forums, there have been issues with things like aftermarket temp sensors, MAFs, O2 sensors, etc.

Re: 2000 S70 Coolant Temp Gauge Fluctuating

As far as the temp needle going low on the highway and coming back to normal in stop & go, that's a classic failed thermostat stuck open. Easy fix, just be careful to not strip the bolts. My other advice would be to return/not install the Autozone ECT sensor. Use only OE parts for stuff like tha...

Re: Who repairs ABS modules nowadays

I will need someone to take a look at my S70 ABS module in the near future. Viktor Rocha seems to be MIA? Where do people send their modules nowadays? https://midwest-abs.com/ This is the guy to do it with. Fast, reliable, knowledgeable, and reasonable price. He does the job right and doesn't cut a...
