Re: 1998 V70 T5 fob programming

Sorry I wasn't notified of the discrepancy in the thread; the car is a 98 V70. I made the mistake because I was used to entering 97 for the 850 I own (off the road, now). Sorry for the confusion and belated response.

Re: PCV System Repair on a Volvo 5-cylinder

A bit of an update should someone replicate this in the future.
I replaced the plastic accordian section with a piece of stainless pipe (thin wall) but you could use 1.25 or 1.5 copper, one inch long. You will have to flare or crimp the pipe, for the 1.25 or 1.5 size, respectively. I used the pipe I ...

Re: PCV System Repair on a Volvo 5-cylinder

Below are the pics and I inserted the original text to make it easier for anyone else...been driving around for several hundred miles, and woks fine. The key is to get the accordian hose inside the original cap, otherwise the oil will leak out. Hope this helps. One more thing, I know I'm not the ...

Re: PCV System Repair on a Volvo 5-cylinder

Very nice. is it possible to post a pic here at MVS, or do I have to link it to another site? My "fix" is simpler that those other "fixes" and the whole thing is assembled on the cap itself. Thanks for the info.

Re: PCV System Repair on a Volvo 5-cylinder

This is a hack I made to reduce pressure until I can get around to replacing the PVC system ( I don't know how to post the pictures, but I got them): I got an oil filler cap at the boneyard, disassembled the interior metal from the plastic outer cover of the cap, drilled out the plastic outer cover ...

1998 V70 T5 fob programming

If this question has been asked and answered, forgive the duplication and feel free to erase this query.

I recently bought a 1997 V-70 T5; it came with one key, but no fob. I'd like to get a keyless entry remote if not too expensive. I read in another thread that the 1999-2000's require dealer ...

98 v-70 Interchangeability of parts with 850 wagon

If this question is improper, forgive me.

I recently acquired a 98 v-70 T5 to replace a 97 850 wagon. Before I send off the 850 to the boneyard, I was considering removing some of the parts that I may be able to use on the v-70, in the future. For example are these parts interchangeable:

Throttle ...

1997 850 GLT wagon Throttle body & general question

I am considering buying another volvo wagon to replace the one I have which is leaking fluids from every orfice.

1. I would consider buying a 1998 V70 if the throttle body is similar to the 1997, and not the style mounted on the engine itself

2. What are the least troublesome years and models for ...
