Saturday morning, after two weeks below freezing my daughter's 98 C70 did not start. Fired but no start. Sometimes it would idle poorly but stall if the accelerator pedal is pressed. Checked fuel pressure. Good. Swapped MAF sensor. No change. Checked diagnostics and found a Failed ECT code. Previous...

Now has a lower mileage transmission installed from the stock of spares!

The existing cooler is listed as "Extra Oil Cooler" PN 8618347, and there is a kit that includes the cooler, hoses, clamps etc. Looks like a Volvo dealer only part as I don't see it on other sites. Fits S70, V70 1997 - 2000, C70 Coupe 1998 - 2002 and C70 Conv 1998 - 2005. Was able to blow ...

I will pull the cooler and find out the cause for the clog. Meanwhile, what is the recommended cooler to use? I can see generic tube-fin units that look like refrigerator condensers, and some plate units that look pretty dense, but not sure how efficient. Recommendations? (Will also tear the old tra...

Drove my C70 to Hershey last month and noticed slipping when I backed out of the motel parking space 250 miles into the trip.

Case closed. Thanks!

I had a bearing do the whining/whirring sound that I would expect. I haven't heard a bearing do the whap whap whap but if you have, that could be something I am missing. I have not bled the brakes recently (maybe 2 years). Fluid had been changed by serendipity...swapped calipers a couple of years ag...

On my 98 C70 coupe, I have a noise that shows up going downhill when you let off the gas, and can trigger also if I turn to the left. As in the description above, it is a 'thunk thunk thunk' that varies with speed. Guessing inner CV joint on the left. I have new Zimmerman 302mm rotors and new pads o...

Location is Wilbraham, MA (01095).
