2007 C70 Interior Door Panel Removal

Hey Everyone, My passenger-side front window was smashed and my laptop bag was stolen a couple weeks back. I've already received my replacement window from Volvo, but I'm not exactly sure where to begin in removing the interior panel of the passenger side door to get started. I've seen overviews onl...

Sudden erratic idle, and consistent stalling within seconds

I've noticed that many in this room have stated that problems with their ETM accumulated slowly, and only occasionally caused stalling. I have a '00 C70 LPT convertible, which I've never had any stalling/throttle issues with in the past. But, true to Murphy's Law, when I left CA last week bound for ...

C70 - Rear seat lighting

This should be a fairly simple question, I hope. I don't see any obvious way to replace the bulb that lights the back seat ... do I pry the 'light portion' out from the speaker grate--or is there another way to approach it?

Re: C70 convertible top problems

Just read your post, and am in a similar position. I have a 2000 C70, which has given me consistent headaches with the soft top, it does not close/tension properly. When the back portion 'flops down' half of the time it will not cinch down to the seal, but instead stop with a visible gap. I've had t...

Re: 2000 C70 w/ brief, intermittent oil pressure lamp

The oil level's good, just under maximum on the dipstick ... no oil leaks either. Only concerned because the oil indicator lamp has never come on before, in all the years I've owned the car--even under the same conditions that are now triggering it.

2000 C70 w/ brief, intermittent oil pressure lamp

Within the past week my C70's oil pressure lamp has started flickering on (approx. 1-2 seconds) ... mainly when there's lateral force (in a turn like an on/off ramp) or decelerating quickly. Just wondering if anyone's experienced the same, or is aware of a likely cause ... oil pump wearing out? ... ...

Re: Intermittent ABS/Brake warning indicators and Yellow Arrow

Okay I'll get on top of fixing the ABS controller ... can't have my speedo keep cutting out randomly and losing acceleration in limp home mode. My follow-up question though is about clearing the codes ... can I simply clear the codes via my OBD-II reader once the rebuilt/new unit's installed, or are...

Intermittent ABS/Brake warning indicators and Yellow Arrow

This is regarding a 2000 C70 LPT Convertible, w/ approx 83K miles. The ABS, BRAKE & 'Yellow Arrow' lights will sometimes stay out for a day or two (CEL is constant) then suddenly trigger again in the middle of driving--and sometimes even kick the car into limp home mode. I pulled the OBD-II code...

Re: Cooling Fan not working on 2000 C70 LPT Convertible

Hey MIJ ... thanks for the welcome. The temperature gauge hasn't changed at all, still goes up to the 3 o'clock position and stays there ... which is why my suspicion leaned toward the cooling fan relay. Would that be you conclusion too, or would you just go ahead and swap the ECT & thermostat a...

Cooling Fan not working on 2000 C70 LPT Convertible

Hi, I'm used to the cooling fan running for about 5-10 minutes after I shut off my car ... even for short trips/running errands near home. Just recently (within the past week) the fan no longer runs when my car is shut off. I read through a few posts and it seems that the problem is usually caused b...
