Re: Amplifier - How Volvo adds it

Hello! I have a Dolby Prologic system with SC900 in my 1998 V70. My rear door speakers have been getting pretty bad turning the last year. Before this they had quite a good punch, but now it's gone. I asked the dealer about replacing these speakers, but he told me that since the car is so old, he is...

Re: 1998 V70 Not enough heat in cabin when cold outside

I solved the problem. Took it out and saw that indeed, the heater core was narrower than the plastic casing. It was about 5mm of empty space on both sides. I added some soft foam like material to the sides and now it works perfectly. What a pleasure to drive in the warm car :)

Thank you Ozark Lee!

Re: 1998 V70 Not enough heat in cabin when cold outside

I have encountered heater cores that are slightly narrower than the originals and they leak air around the sides if additional weatherstrip material isn't added to them. It isn't that the core isn't "powerful enough" it is more of an issue of cold air leaking around it and mixing with the...

1998 V70 No heat MVSuccess! Heater core foam missing

Hello! I have I problem with my 1998 V70 2,5TD. The car has ECC. Since it is quite cold outside ( as low as -20C), I have noticed that I don´t get as much hot air in the cabin as I would like to. The air that blows from the vents is just lukewarm (although when the blower is not blowing so hard, it ...

Re: 98' V70 SC900 problem

The same problem occured today with a new original CD after playing it for 1-1,5 hours. My questions is that, does anybody know why it doesn't play even original good quality CD's after an hour or two hour drive?

Where can I order the new center speaker? From the local Volvo dealer?

Re: 98' V70 SC900 problem

Thank you for that, but can you explane me what these LHD and P/N mean? I took the center speaker apart and the speaker is physically okey. The tweeter plays nicely, but midrange makes only a quiet cracking noise. First I go and look maybe someone can repair it. Another question is that the unit get...

Re: 98' V70 SC900 problem

Okei, good news, my CD is now working. Bad news is that the center channel doesn't in dolby mode. How can I check the speaker, in other words how to remove the center speaker cover?

Re: 98' V70 SC900 problem

Isn't some Alpine CD-changer also with the correct connector since the SC900 is an Alpine product? The car is great. I love the light leather interior. Everything seem to work fine at the moment, also the mechanical side of the car seem to be in a good shape. I've had a 200 km trip on motorway/city,...

Re: 98' V70 SC900 problem

Is there anything I should specially look for except for the Volvo sign on the CD changer. They sell these with different names on ebay. Some are for newer V70 and some for different models like S80 etc. Are all of these suitable with the SC900 or is there a catch somewhere? PS. I think I won't call...
