Re: 99 c70 Coupe Mass Air Flow Sensor Removal

Yes, I am trying to remove it to clean it.

I disconnected it to see if it affected my rough idle and sure enough it is the source of my problem.

I bought the cleaner, but I could not find the right tool even at Pep Boys to remove it for the cleaning process.

Re: V70 1997 AC 'Clicking Noise'

I just heard the same problem after my AC relay was replaced last week. It was the AC turning on and off along with something else behind the dash. I filled the AC system with R134a, as my mechanic said the compressor was cycling on and off by itself. Now, the clicking has gone away entirely and my ...

Re: New to VOlvo, Tire suggestions, maintance?

About 2 years ago, I had Pep Boys install Hankook Z rated low profile tires and I have been happy ever since. They are even better than the Pirellis that I had on there, since the side wall breaks open when the tire wears down. Last month I had Monroe struts installed and again, I have been happier ...

99 c70 Coupe Mass Air Flow Sensor Removal

Does anyone know what kind of special tool is required to remove the MAF from the housing? I am following up on a string of MAF postings and suspect mine needs a good cleaning to sort out idle issues etc. Any help or advice? I just spent half an hour at Pep Boys with a sales guy and no luck on findi...

Re: 98 C70 Sunroof wont close completely

Just found this and wondered about my c70 roof that won't close or pop up to full closure position. Just happened a few days ago. I had the rail replaced on the other side about 5 years ago, which cost me about $600 at the dealer. Now, I priced it and it looks like about $120 plus 1.5 hours labor. D...

1999 Volvo C70 2.3 Coupe

Okay, so I joined here a few weeks ago and have been reading through for information. Very good feedback and advice that has not been found elsewhere. I live in LA and have been without AC for two summers now. Had an electrical place that specializes in Saabs and a bit in Volvos spend about two hour...
