Re: high fuel pressure 1999 v70r

Thanks everyone for the replies. I had thought that 55psi of pressure was not enough to see the damage to the fuel rail retention clip that I was seeing. It is bending the ears back and pushing the o ring out at seemingly random times. Your replies made me think of the secondary check valve that I ...

high fuel pressure 1999 v70r

Does anyone know the routing for the vacuum line that goes to the fuel pressure regulator on my 1999 v70r? I have been fighting a high fuel pressure problem on it for longer than I would like to admit. It runs fine but is pushing the feed line out of the fuel rail on occasion. I made a bracket to ...

Re: 1999 V70R 320k miles (bad trans, no reverse) $800 OBO

Ussokc, I sold the turbo a couple of years ago. Wish I would have kept since the one in the car needs a rebuild.

1999 v70r wiring harness interchange

I would like to replace the engine / underhood harness in my 1999 v70r and need to know what various models will interchange. Most of the current harness has the covering falling off and is a bit brittle from age and miles. I am assuming that anything from a 1999-2000 turbo s70, v70 or even a later ...

Re: 1999 v70r running rich

I know that it is a bit late on this one but I like to post the resolution for these threads.

The problem appears to have been the oxygen sensor - the used one that was swapped in had apparently not been sitting on the 'healing shelf' long enough to be a working unit. It has since been placed in a ...

Re: 1999 v70r running rich

Swapped out the coupler - could not see anything wrong with the original one but decided to change it and the clamps out anyway. Took it on a test drive that seemed promising initially but sometime between 20 - 30 miles in the car started running rich again. Planning to swap out the oxygen sensor ...

Re: 1999 v70r running rich

The last time this happened it was a leak in the elbow at the top of the intercooler (exit, I believe). The inner liner had split and it was leaking air through it. It was not obvious, just happened to notice that it was soft.

I have checked all of them except for the coupler at the turbo. Noticed ...

1999 v70r running rich

Have a 1999 v70r with very high mileage that has been intermittently running rich for the last month or so. Previously, disconnecting the battery for a few seconds would take care of the problem for a time but it seems to be a hard failure now. Not seeing any codes or a check engine light so far. I ...

hood latch grommet source

has anyone been able to source the little grommet that goes on the bottom of the hood latch to stop rattles and hood opening problems? I have a '98 s70 with this problem and have not been able to find the grommet without replacing the latches (~$80 each). The grommet slides into the slot in the ...

Re: 1999 V70R 320k miles (bad trans, no reverse) $800 OBO

it is still available, I have purchased a used transmission with 130K miles for it and am planning on fixing it. Let me know if you have any questions.
