Iphone OBD2 App Options?

Does anyone have any recommendations for an ios app for one of the wi-fi obd2 readers? I just bought a reader last week and wanted to see if anyone has had any luck with any of the apps. I've tried a few of the free ones (Carista and OBDCarDoctor), but they don't seem to have any Volvo specific info...

Re: 1998 S70 Broken Strut Mounting Bracket Bolt

The repairs went well. It was tough getting the bolt off of the strut (the one with the allen wrench), but after a few min of trying and a large pipe I broke it free. The bump stop and cover for the strut were both pretty beat up, I think I'll be redoing the struts next summer once I make more money...

Re: 1998 S70 Broken Strut Mounting Bracket Bolt

Why did you remove the strut to replace the axle? Didn't remove it completely. Just loosened the top a little and then removed the bottom two bolts. It was they way they did it in the fcp video (maybe it was the 1-A auto I can't remember). It defiantly gave me more room to work than just removing t...

Re: Metal tapping

Yea I welded the part near the rear tail end, its the last hanger. I proped it back up and welded it at the high it orginally was. I though about the cracks so I got it up on a lift to check out and I couldn't spot anything so I think the exhaust is fine. It is a non turbo, so I'll check the flex pi...

Re: Metal tapping

I checked it out again and listened to it on the way home, it is coming from the front passenger wheel. I assume it is the suspension. When the car is parked, if I shake it I can hear the noise. Any idea what the specific problem is? I know this is little information to go on. I'll probably have it ...

Re: Metal tapping

It is a high pitched sound. It sounds like someone is tapping the exhaust pipe with a screwdriver. I think its coming from the rear, but it's hard to tell while driving.

S70: Metal clicking or tapping coming from the underside

Hey A few weeks ago I had the hanger for the exaust rust through and finally give out. So I fashioned my own and welded it to the exhause. But ever since then, and for a short time before, there has been a metal clicking or tapping coming from the underside of my car. Major bumps dont bother it, jus...

Passenger door wont open from outside

The passenger door on my 2000 S70 won't open from the outside. The door can only be opened from the inside. Any ideas on what the problem is/ how hard to fix? All of the outside door handles on my car are pretty tough, they really have to be pulled on to get them to open. Any ideas on that too. Thanks

Oil change and Wheel squeal and PO172

So I've been planning to do a oil change on my 2000 s70 and I have noticed some irregularites with the oil filters listed on different web sites. Is the oil filter on the s70 a canister one piece screw on or is it just the filter material that is in a volvo case? Just from looking under my car I was...
