I have the 2000 S70 with the same problem. JBlackburn do you know if the relay is also in my hazard switch. If so, I will buy the switch from IPD ($57.90) and not from Volvo ($94.27). I will also replace all bulbs and check grounds.

Sorry for the delay...Here is the maintenance log that I have used for our five cars. Hope you find it useful.

I forgot to post that your directions were Excellent! Thank you much!!! I am going for that 300k mark or farther.

The European's change their oil about every 10k kilometers (6k miles). I honestly believe that the American oil companies have sold us that we need to change our oil every 3k miles. My S70 now has 220k miles and I am still changing the oil at 7.5k miles. I bought a '98 S70 for my son last year.

I have an S70 and I drove it about 25k/year mostly highway. Now, my wife drives it around town. It costs me around $500/yr. to maintain if my mechanic and I do the work or $1,000/yr. if Volvo operates on it. Here is what I have replaced on my '00 S70 that I bought from the dealer in 2000 since it ...

I have a '98 S70 (my son drives) with 180k and a '00 S70 (my wife drives) with 220k and the check engine light has appeared a few times in the past 5 years. AZ reads it perfectly every time. I recommend to make sure all fluid levels are correct and regular maintenance is done. You will have to wait ...

I have a '98 Volvo S70 and your directions were perfect. At first, I was trying to remove the tamper screws and none of the stores (Autozone, etc.) have the tamper bit. But then, I followed your directions (remove the two - 25 torx screws from the air filter housing and remove the clamp and air hose ...

My S70 radiator is cracked and leaking from near the top. I bought the radiator but am looking for the instructions on how to replace it. Anyone have a reference?

Thanks!

I have the same sound in my 2000 Volvo S70 but I don't know what it is either.

I bought the upstream sensor for my S70 at Autohaus and had PepBoys put it in for $80. They don't guarantee the part but that is OK for me. My car is running great now. The strong smell at the exhaust pipe is gone and it is running very nicely down the highway.
