Admins, just realized I posted in the wrong subcategory. Please move it to P1 section. Sorry about that----- ================== The car is a v99 XC70 at 169000 miles. I am the 3rd owner and had the car since it had 152000 2 years ago. When I bought the car I was aware of some of the problems I encou...

A Mann and OEM filters do, but this doesn't apply to your 99 with the cardboard insert. FCP has this one: MANN which says it fits my 99 as well. But my car had the cartridge type since I got it and the spin cap is the original volvo. Sooo I guess it just takes the insert type, like the one I'm usin...

I dont think there is a check valve in my oil filter. I use the MANN filter. Just like this one:
Mann Filter

I am due for an oil change soon, what oil filter has the check valve?

There doesnt seem to be any blue smoke. Amazingly in 4000miles I never had to add any oil. Level is always right on the mark maybe getting abit close to the low end before an oil change. I dont think I burn oil, but there definately is some leaks around the oil cooler and usual other suspect. (No RM...

I have a 99 XC70 with ~168000 miles. I have done a fair amount of work on it within the last 2 years of my ownership with the help from this forum.

Seems like Im just responding myself. No problems, maybe someone will have the issues I am having in the future and can read through this post. It is what I have been doing for a while with this problems anyways. Update to the situation: I got a OBDLink obd-to-pc cable from Scantool with their softw...

Well I did a fuel pressure test and with ignition on at 2nd position pressure is @ 42-44 but when the engine is running it shoots up to 57-59psi consistantly. Regulator going bad? UPDATE: Went back to the car to check all the relays, and they all check out OK. cleared the code p1171 and it idled and...

Hi, Long time reader but first time posting. (sorry for the cliche) In advance please excuse the lengthy introduction to my problem; I wanted to be clear. I own a 99 XC70 at 167000 miles. Last month the dreaded ETS light came on along with obvious signs of ETM failure. I had the yellow sticker ETM i...

I removed my prop shaft yesterday. Mine was making clicking noise at all speeds by then. I first realized it while under the car just inspecting leaks and stuff, then i held the shaft and tried to turn it, then it was making a clicking noise. It never did on the road while moving until 2 weeks later...
