Re: New to me 98 v70r

How much has your Volvo adventure cost so far? Try it without the 4WD. Is the black paint on the door frames from the factory or add on? I would like to paint mine too black. What kind of paint would be best for this application? From my previous projects I have taught myself not to add up all the ...

Re: New to me 98 v70r

As of today, I might be parting out this hunk of crap. As I keep fixing the things that break, get it through emissions and think all is well....... Now the angle gear or driveshaft is making a terrible racket. Clunking and pinging. I'm thinking it isn't the driveshaft because it was replaced not to...

My apologies sir. I should know better. Caps bothers me too. Just frantic trying to get my sunroof closed before it rains on me.

I Need Sunroof Parts, 98 V70 R. DC/MD/VA/PA Etc...

Hey everyone. I have a 98 v70r and I am looking for some sunroof parts. Ideally I would just need the pivoting arm on the front drivers side from the rail to the glass. I would also buy the whole frame and glass assembly if it is in good condition. Something else I just thought of was the fog light ...

Re: Key Stuck in ignition

What worked for me when I had all of the shifter problems was hitting down directly on top of the knob. Fixed all of the sticky shifter and override button.

The button had apparently been replaced but the shifter itself didn't stay forced all the way on.

Re: New to me 98 v70r

This past Tuesday I got some more things done on the car. I got my needed oil change and added a magnetic drain plug. I didn't buy my own oil this time so I let the shop use some BG. Oil that they recommended. My thermostat was replaced and the coolant service was done. I was going to change the the...

Re: New to me 98 v70r

Thanks for the heads up you guys. I should probably rename this thread to "the chronicles of my car luck" Anyways, I need to have the front suspension checked. After having the control arms put on, I now hear a creaky groaning coming from. One side over some bumps. Mainly when it's cold. M...

Re: New to me 98 v70r

I did give that a try for the sunroof. Sadly it seemed to have no effect... Today I had the front control arms replaced. Yay for one more thing to cross off the list. A weird thing has started happening randomly. I will just normally use the brakes and sometimes the abs just kicks in for no apparent...

Re: Parting out or selling whole 98 S70 in DC area

Does your car have fog lights? I only need one connector and pigtail but would take both harnesses to make it worth it for you.

Re: New to me 98 v70r

So for a bit of an update:::::: Everything has basically been going pretty good. Haven't had any super major problems. Remember how I was going to swap coolant expansion tanks from the totalled 850? Yeah, I didn't but should have. It started leaking a couple of weeks ago. Yesterday I replaced the ex...
