Re: 1996 960 Should I buy?

Pull the trans dipstick and take a look at the trans fluid. In those years Volvo never recommended the trans fluid be changed and many by the time they have over 100K are filthy and the fluid looks like strong coffee. If it's red even darker red it's likely ok. Also pull the cap on the coolant reser...

Re: What other Euro brands do you own?

1995 Mercedes E-420 BIG time sleeper car with the M 119 V8. Looks like any other normal mild mannered old E class. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v27/rutledri/1995%20E-420/DSCN0941_zps30c0c346.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v27/rutledri/1995%20E-420/DSCN0943_zps803fe1f7.jpg http://img.phot...

Re: Let's see your Volvo (The Photo Thread)

Owned this 98 V-90 for well over 7 years now she has just over 197K and the Photos speak for themselves! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v27/rutledri/Volvo%20V90/DSCN0955_zps1af5c2a5.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v27/rutledri/Volvo%20V90/DSCN0959_zpsb27ab95a.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/...

Re: 1998 S90 Transmission upshift light blinking

find a scanner some where with the right 1997-1999 Volvo software installed to read these codes. From 1996 and forward, codes were read via OBD II socket. Before 1996, users could access codes. All cars built since January 1, 1996 have OBD-II systems....Scanners vary widely in the number of these s...

Wish they would... Try various auto supply stores...free check No dice they won't pull up it always shows no code stored with both the flashing up arrow and the check Engine light on and staring you in the face.

Re: 1998 S90 Transmission upshift light blinking

I find this very funny that rcr is the only guy who can not get the codes read. I have owned two s90's and a friend of mine had 4 all 6 car's had no issues with pulling codes. Buddy I have worked with this car for the last 7 years and wish you were close to me as I would lay a substantial bet on yo...

Re: 1998 V-90 lost cruse suddenly then flashing up arrow.

Oh, codes, I haven't used them in years/years! Most issues can be resolved without them, especially if Preventive Maintenance is practiced. Same here on the codes and yes the car is regularly maintained. If fact it has 197K on the clock and is very very likely the cleanest V-90 on this forum. Magna...
