when is enough?

My 98 S70 has excess of 150k. Had it for 3 yrs. Odometer inop, Speedo sporadic inop. ABS light always on, MAF twice, front O2 once, Rack and Pinion leaks horribly, rear O2 now. Does this vehicle have worth beyond its repair?
Thx guys...

s70 Power steering leak

My 98 S70 has been dripping fluid for some time. Lucas seemed to slow it down. Reading here I will get Dex III. I was under the car today and it looks like the leak is from the boot near the wheel. Could this be possible?

Re: buying a standard wheel bolt for 1998 s70

What year's and model's will fit my 98 S70. I currently have 5 spoke alloy wheels. Got a nasty curb burn that makes the tire shop cringe!

Re: S70 Speedodometer failure

The link for Matty indicated the speedo is a symtom of the ABS mod failure, right?

S70 Speedodometer failure

My 99 S70 has unknown miles. ABS light always on. odometer is trip meter only. Speed-odometer just died. Is this a module or Fuse-able link?

Re: INTERMITTANT PROBLEM,LOSS OF POWER, STALLING

My 99 S70 MAF failed. I replaced it twice under parts warranty. Last time advice said disconnect battery before plug in. I allowed 15 min to pass. Has worked well ever since (fingers crossed) make sure you have radio code, anti-theft will disable it.

Re: 98 S70 Emissions / Radio lock out

Final chapter. The 2 MAF sensors were either bad or the battery disconnect worked. Passed emissions. The radio lock out was solved . Once again my 98 S70 is riding along :)

98 S70 Emissions / Radio lock out

So I replaced the MAF in Jan. Went for emissions in July. Gas cap, O2 and Maf codes. Replaces all but 172, rich condition. Shop said the MAF defective due to low voltage.

Re: emission issues.po172 left

As jblackburn suggested, I replaced the elbow coming off the vacuum mod. Replaced the 2" intake to exhaust tube. Whats next?

emission issues.po172 left

98 s70 100k+. Replaced the MAF twice, Front O2 sensor now the only one left is PO172. Sprayed ether gently around vacum lines, no increase in rpm's. Where do I go from here.
