Re: question about vag-com cable and software for v70 2000

I've been using an inexpensive Actron scanner for a while on my '98 S70's. Can the Volvo-fcr software do anything that my scanner can't? Also, if I get one of these vag-com cables (hilarious name, BTW) where can I download the software from? Or do I have to buy a disc?

Re: Replacing and Adjusting Front Window Regulator on S70

Without seeing your window, I can't really tell what's going on. If one of the joints in the regulator is loose & you can't fix it, I would imagine you need a new regulator. A new one is pretty expensive, but I just found a used one with little trouble from an online dealer for $50. Sorry I can'...

Re: Replacing and Adjusting Front Window Regulator on S70

It's been quite a while since I worked on these windows. But I seem to recall that there is a lower section of window channel inside the door which can break. That might be your problem. If I remember correctly, this short section is attached to the door itself by a torx-head screw that is visible j...

'93 940 Brake light switch

I'm trying to diagnose a no brake light problem on my neighbor's 1993 940 sedan. When I drop the kick panel, all I see touching the brake pedal arm is a switch with a vacuum hose & a pair of wires connected to it. (The wires connect to the switch with a small white double connector.) The switch ...

Replacing and Adjusting Front Window Regulator on S70

The driver's window of my '98 S70 GLT had not been closing properly for a while. When fully raised, it was usually cocked at a slight angle, with a small gap between the rubber channel and the glass at the top rear corner. I could force it to close properly by pulling the glass back between my hands...
