Re: 200 Volvo S70 overheating

The water is not bubbling, the temp gauge immediately goes into the red as soon as your start the car. I think that the ECT sensor was replaced with the thermostat and the radiator fan seems to be coming on more than necessary. The person who looked at it said the fan is running too much and it will...

2000 Volvo S70 overheating

Hi Everyone, I have a 2000 Volvo S70 that is overheating. I have had the sensor, water pump, and thermostat replaced but it still says it is overheating. The mechanic thinks it is an electrical problem and said it could be anywhere. Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations? This is my primar...

Re: A/C major breakdown

That is pretty much the quote we got was for $1200 to repair the entire system. I am going to let the car sit for a week or so and wait for a friend of the family to see what he can do. It will be a lot less and then I am going to be forced to sell it. I can't keep putting money into it. Ironically,...

Re: A/C major breakdown

Thank you. The car will be back from the mechanic tomorrow and I will be able to figure out exactly what it needs.

Re: A/C major breakdown

Thanks Lee, This sounds like a big fat mess! Can I replace the compressor and condenser coil and then take the car somewhere to have the A/C system flushed and refilled? That sounds a lot cheaper. Also, what is a pick n pull? 30 bucks sounds a lot better than the upwards of $250 I have been finding....

Now on to the issue... I have a 2000 S70. Last year the A/C went warm, I recharged and everything was great. Same problem ...

Squeaky caliper

Is there anything I can do (besides the obvious) to help ease a squeaky caliper?

Thanks,

Cruise control and check engine light, two separate ?'s

Hello, My cruise on my 00 S70 is not working. I bought two cruise relays (I think that is what they are) but I am not sure where they go. Everything else seems to be working in this dept. In addition, my check engine light came on and I am getting the following codes: P1614 P1671 P1610 I tried to lo...

Volvo exhaust

Hi Everyone, One of the exhaust hangers broke off on my 2000 S70. I know that that I can buy a new one at the auto parts store but I am hoping someone has a link to a diagram or photo of where they are located. It's clearly right in the back because the exhaust pipe dropped a couple of inches out of...

Re: Boosting antenna strength

Can anyone give me tips on how to boost the antenna strength in my 2000 Volvo S70? What kind of problem are you having? It only seems to be getting two channels, when you scan sometimes it finds other stations and other times it doesn't find anything. Is this a stock radio? It is the stock radio If...
