Thank you good sirs. They are both turbo models (99 a T5; 98 a GLT); forgot to mention that. That does look like it adds some complexity to realigning the cams properly.

I've got a timing belt job coming up on the 99 S70 soon. I did the 1998 before, so this will be my second time around. What happened to the write-up that used to be at the top of this forum? I can't remember what it was called, but I can't seem to find it. Also, is there anything different between t...

Yeah, the nut is tight.

My wipers died entirely on my old 740 in a torrential downpour.

Any other ideas? Salvage motor perhaps?

Hey all, I've noticed recently that when I leave my wipers on for a while, the right one will begin to "skip" a bit - sort of like old wiper blades do, but it's the arm. It kind of jerks as it's going down, and it's actually really annoying to me. The wiper blades are fine - the arm just j...

cn90, did your issue start out that way or did the MAF ever flat-out fail? I haven't had any of the other issues I had when it went bad on the 1999 - bucking, random stalling, etc. Just the hard start and occasional stumble until it gets going. Someone else thought this might be an issue too. How wo...

All of that is less than 1 year old. I wound up replacing all ignition stuff on this car when I first got it because it kept showing misfire codes. I later found out that it was from random unmatching injectors the kid that owned it before me had put into it. I've finally got the car more or less ba...

Argh! I just wrote this and the site crashed and it went away :( This reminds me of when I had an old beat-up 940 wagon. I was sitting in rush-hour traffic after work, and I met my wife that night when she rear-ended me on a busy highway in an '01 Subaru Outback. It wasn't a hard hit - 25 mph or so,...

Hmm...cleaned the idle control valve as suggested. I did notice that when I come to a quick stop, it doesn't almost stall out anymore like it used to. I looked at my vacuum lines and I didn't see any cracking or missing lines - I recently changed out a lot of them. But the "stumble" was st...

Hey there Matt,

I'd like to donate to the mod month - these guys have helped me out time and again, but I'm very hesitant to use PayPal after a bad experience with an Ebay seller. How can I send a check your way?

Thanks,
Jimmy

Thanks for the response Lee!

Where is this valve and how do I go about cleaning it?
