Re: I an hearing a loud clanking noise from front end of XC70
I've never heard a wheel bearing make a "clanking" noise on a volvo. They make a loud humming noise which is similar to what tires do when they have excessive "cupping" due to a bad alignment...I have heard dozens on sway bar end links clank and strut hats clank..These are both t...

Re: Buying another car for the other daughter
I never liked the c70's...the bodies are not ridgid..when you put them on a hoist the doors wont even close..the steering wheel on every one I've driven jumps around and transfers every bump in the road through your hands..The coups look cool though especially with the right wheels. the conv. has to...

Re: narrowband wire hook up
You can't..you have to get another bung put into your downpipe and use the signal from an o2 sensor that will give you a voltage reading ranging from 0 to 1 volts...I used a leftover one from my old Isuzu pickup..
I really don't recommend doing a narrow band, spend the money and get a wideband.

Re: Worth repairing? or time to replace? 1994 960 wagon 160K mi.
Thanks friends.... well, what I decided to do was to have my mechanic check out what else, if anything, was wrong... and, it turned out, the car also needs new brake rotors/pads, rear axle seals and bearings which are badly leaking fluid, sway bar links, and work on the heat/air system... and, did ...
