Dealer will tell me both are needed, for sure. Will just core give me more heat ?

Heater: Core or Blower ?

Have a 1998 V70 XC. Blower not working at all (it has been cold brothers and sisters) and smell a little coolant. So I see that I can replace the heater cores but how do I know if it is not the heater core but the blower engine itself ? Temp is accurate. Blower not on at all - i.e. if I turn it on, ...

Re: Heater issue diagnostics

Thx. It is the electroniuc version. Coolant is filled. I checked the fuse and it is fine. The cabin blower is not coming on at all. Today, it was raining and 52 FH. I had condensation so I shut off all vents and directed to the windshield. Barely functional. Any remedies to fix the blower ? Thx

Re: Heater issue diagnostics

Thx. Coolant a little low. Will fill. Will also check fuse. Yesterday in NY area did not get above 30. No heat no matter what combinations.

Heater issue diagnostics

Greetings. I have a 98 v70 XC. Heat stopped working most of the time recently but after researching, I am more confused. The heat will still work sometimes. I think when the temp outside is say > 30 FH. Yesterday with temps in the 20s, I drove 1.5 hours and was frozen when I got to work. I do smell ...

Re: 1998 XC70 revived

Wow great MPG. I just bought a used 98 XC70 but they say it needs an RMFG CV Drive Shaft and a New CV Drive Shaft. Do you know if these are necessary ? Also AWD light coming on. I don't think I need AWD but how to turn it off is a question.

Any insights highly appreciated.
