I noticed the smell a few days ago but it was faint so I thought maybe it was just a dirty rag or something. However, yesterday I filled up the tank after I got home from work and when I went out to the garage this morning there was a very strong smell of gas. I checked under the car and I don't see...

It appears that the oil leak has stopped after about a week. I have checked after driving every day and it is no longer leaving drops on the ground. Not sure how that's possible but I've put around 500 miles on it since the last time I noticed the spots on the ground. After reading some threads on c...

I took my S70 to a repair shop to have the ignition cylendar replaced and when I got the car back I noticed it was leaking a small amount of oil right below the oil filter housing on the front passenger side of the car. It had never leaked oil, so I took it back and the mechanic took a look and deci...

I'm guessing that I have to go to a dealership to buy the replacement parts? Also, I was looking at how to remove the steering wheel and came across this http://www.woodjoiner.com/volvo/VolvoEvapReplace.pdf but I am unable to unlock the steering wheel because I can't turn the key to unlock it. Any i...

When I attempted to start my car this morning I put the key in the ignition and it turns 360 degrees but never "catches" so the car won't start. I was told it could possibly be the tumbler but they have to be special ordered from Volvo. Does this sound accurate? If so, has anybody replaced...

Drain and fill every other to every 3rd oil change Naturally the first time is a flush, depending on the condition and mileage. I do not flush an (unknown) trans with over 60-70K miles My S70 has 80k miles on it and I'm not sure if previous owner ever flushed the transmission fluid. Would you sugge...

I recently had my radiator replaced and I after a couple days I would smell coolant but there wasn't a leak. The next time I smelled it, I looked under the hood and noticed the reservoir was making a hissing noise and saw the coolant boiling. The smell was the vapors coming from the radiator cap on ...

Thanks for the help guys. I was able to fix the door by removing the T40 torx screw and putting some lock-tight on it. However, it appears that this was already done at some point because there was red residue on the torx screw and it looked to be pretty stripped. I did some Google searches and it d...

I got a pretty good deal on a 99 s70 GLT turbo with 78k miles. I know the original owner and they have several cars they drive so none of them get very many miles put on them. He said he always had it serviced at the Volvo dealer and only used Mobil-1 oil, and it seems like it was taken care of. I d...
