Re: 1998 V70 XC ECC control unit swap

I know this is an old thread, but thought it would be nice to have the information from the Volvo service manual stated in here:

The ECC stores the following information, and not every item in every ECC controller variant. These values must be read from the old ECC and programmed into the new one ...

1998-2000 V70 Evaporator - Heater Core and O-rings issue

I understand that Volvo makes cars since 1927 or so but... what were they thinking?

I finally decided to tackle the evaporator replacement in my 1998 V70 base model. I had also by-passed the heater core a few months ago, so i decided to replace it along with the evaporator.

A lot has been said ...

1998 V70 P0455 Evaporative Emission Control fault

Dealing with the P0455 code, I found the following information from the Volvo OEM service manual, which helps trouble shooting the code, without changing parts just cause. Toward the end of this post, the sequence for the EVAP leak test is described. Keep in mind that the error code numbers ...

Re: service light

The $35 adapter I bought on ebay in 2008, chinese too, had the pins in the OBD connector, with sharp edges and almost no lead in. I had to pile them a lil bit , but the thing works; it does turn the light off and I still get to benefit from the service reminder light.

Just in case anyone wonders, I ...

Re: A note on Monroe struts....

I bought the Monroe struts 71699 and shocks 5975 from Amazon. These shocks and struts handle large bumps and potholes beautifully, but... and a big but.... you can feel every single road imperfection, every joint on a ramp on the highway is a major bump, every pebble on the road; lane divider ...

Re: fuel smell... after fill up.

Tonight I dealt with the exact same problem smojo has. The fuel tank in my 98 V70 looked just like in the picture, after filling it up.

In my case the problem was with the fuel pump plastic cover. On the fuel pump cover you have the fuel supply and return lines, plus the pump motor connection and ...

Re: misfires and sputtering 1998 V70

Make sure that the high tension wire terminal is properly seated in the ignition coil; if not, the spark jumping between the wire and the coil terminal could be the one making the clicking noise.

Re: 98 S70 service light

I just received the Volvo Scanner that I got from Ebay, for $39 something from Hong Kong. In the driver's CD included, you will find a demo version of the Volvo FCR software. The demo version, wink wink, allowed me to clear the service reminder light. It also allowed me to read the motronic, abs ...
