Simple air conditioning question.

Hi, I have a 98 V70.

Whenever the AC is on, the clutch for the compressor is constantly engaging and disengaging, like every four seconds.

Is that normal?

Re: Creaks from suspension/steering(?) when turning @ low sp

Well it doesn't only happen when I'm turning, it also happens with I'm going straight and I go over little bumps and cracks in the pavement, in a parking lot for instance at low speeds.

Re: Creaks from suspension/steering(?) when turning @ low sp

Thanks for the response Lee, I'm not quite sure which parts those are, but after getting a basic idea on Google images I guess I'll take a look and see what I can do.

Re: 99 S70 why is it exceedingly hot inside the cabin

I sometimes put a thermometer in my car, just to see how hot it gets.
It's gotten well over 130 F before.

I can't figure out if my V70 is a turbo or not!

It's a 1998 V70 wagon. On the back, it says
V70
AWD

It has the small hose coming out of the front of the airbox. It also has a throttle disc with NO lip on it, that's right, a perfectly flat throttle disc, I saw it myself while I was in the process of doing the ol' throttle plate/disc swap from a ...

Another 960 throttle plate swap question

I have a 1998 V70 non-turbo.

I emailed my local volvo dealer asking for a 960 throttle plate, and they said they needed to know what year,
because it makes a difference, they said. I've combed the previous threads and can find nothing on this matter.

What year's 960 throttle plate do I need ...

Re: MPG update with new TB disc

Hey, does anyone have the part number for the throttle plate?
Or better yet, a reliable source for the throttle plate?
I emailed Don Waltrip Volvo like 2 days ago and they haven't gotten back to me.

Bizarre electrical problem regarding interior lights.

1998 V70.

I recently bought replacement LED's for the dome lights and the passenger interior above-door lights.
They are blue. Don't make fun of me. It looks awesome. I got them from autolumination.com.

All four original light bulbs (2 dome and one for each passenger light) are exactly ...

Re: Changed Throttle body disc...no difference

Hi, I have a 98 V70 non-turbo, will a 960 throttle plate fit in my
throttle body, and does my car have the granny-lip on the throttle plate?

Also: "Make sure you have your radio code before disconnecting the battery."

How do you get it and why is it needed?

Thanks dudes.
