Re: MVS Hall of Shame: Volvo Cars - The Company

There was a man who stopped in where I worked who drove an older Volvo. He was bragging about how it had 450k on it, so when I had the opportunity to own one of these "fine" automobiles, I jumped at it. I now am wishing I had stumbled or fell when I was jumping. In less than 10K, I have ha...

Re: Issues with hesitation on 98 S70 GLT Turbo

I crawled back up under the car and the O2 sensor wasn't pushed in all the way. It does better than what it had been, but still not like it should be. Would a vacuum leak from the evap purge line cause the hesitation/stumbling? Or would that cause other issues? What would cause it to run rich? Any a...

98 S70 evap purge valve issues

If for some reason the evap purge line was broken somewhere between the canister and the evap purge valve, would it cause stumbling upon quick acceleration? 850-s70-vacuum-hose-routing.jpg The car does fine at idle, does fine when the gas is slowly pressed, but when the gas is pressed quickly, it ju...

Re: 850 turbo door won't lock

I have the same problem with mine. Would it by chance be the front passenger door?

Re: For Sale: 1998 GLT S70 Turbo

Had the ABS replaced less than 4K miles ago. Since I've had it (139K-it has 148K now), new plugs, wires, rotor button, distributor cap, O2 sensor and inner tie rod ends and alignment. Right above Nashville, Black, spoiler, cd/cassette, sunroof(works & doesn't leak), and alloy wheels.

Re: Issues with hesitation on 98 S70 GLT Turbo

So after a loooong time under the car, the o2 is replaced. Only problem is it runs worse now than what it did before. Could I have not got it plugged back in enough or something? I=stumped.

Re: Issues with hesitation on 98 S70 GLT Turbo

Ok, so today I replaced the spark plug wires-slightly better, the rotor button/distributor cap-no difference, and oil change. Now it is showing an o2 sensor code... Runs slightly better to begin with but when you put the pedal down, she can't get out of her own way.... Working on the o2 sensor.

Re: Issues with hesitation on 98 S70 GLT Turbo

Thanks. I tried that and it acted worse-popping and chugging and finally dying. I looked at the plug wires and one has a crack so i am heading to get replacements. I will keep all posted.

Thanks for your help,
Owner of Christine(my 1998 S70 GLT)
