Re: Reattach inner door panels

I tried tape and caulk. The tape I found nearly impossible to remove the red strip, on youtube it looked trivially simple, not for me. The caulk did not hold even though I held it down with weight overnight. So I said screw it, and 6 screws later it was back together. I guess I have little patience ...

Re: DIY: Flaring your Brake Lines

I just replaced both front hoses on my 99 S70GLT. RF went ok. LF, the tube nut on the top end of the hose broke at the hex. I cut the line back a few inches, bought a short length of pre-flared bubble Nicopp tubing, and used a flared SAE union to splice it. Someone earlier did it that way. I had the...

Will S60 wheel fit S70?

S60 alloy wheel is the same size, 15x6.5, same BCD 5x108, same offset 43, and same center bore 65.1.

Difference is that the S60 uses 14mm wheels bolts, and the S70 uses 12mm.

Will the 12mm wheel bolts tighten properly in the 2mm larger holes?

Thanks.

What part of this parking brake cable is broken?

99 S70 GLT.

Picture shows the wheel end of the driver side parking brake cable.
Looks like broken threads inside.

Do I need to replace the entire parking brake cable?

Re: 1999 v70 Starting, battery, limp mode speedo problems

On your ME7 equipped car your foot isn't doing anything when you are starting the car. The ECU controls the fuel delivered under start condition and you can whistle Dixie with your foot as far as the engine is concerned. My experience with my 99 S70GLT - starts without touching the gas pedal except...

Re: 99 Volvo s70 t5 what service manual to use ?

I have the Haynes manual, but I cannot recommend it. Your best source for repair info is
MVS and other Volvo forums on the web.

Re: Can't remove serpentine belt

Ring spanner is Brit/Aussie for box end wrench.

Access is tight. It can be done, but it's not easy. Every time I have to remove the
belt I wish I had the serp belt tool kit.
