Re: 1998 Volvo S70 rough idling and CEL with no stored codes

I forgot to mention the coder reader i have can read codes from Table A: P0001up to P0999 and also Table B: 1000 up to 1899 so I'm not sure why it won't display the codes. It also states applicable to all models since 1996 with a 16-pin diagnostic socket for generic OBD-II protocols (SAE JI850 PWM, ...

Re: Volvo S70 has weird humming/buzzing noise when idling!

I told you on the other forum you probably didn't read it yet that picture is NOT my car. I just used it because it showed the exact area of the noise but again it's NOT my car in the picture mine doesn't have oil like that my engine is pretty clean. Thanks for the advice though.

Re: Volvo S70 has weird humming/buzzing noise when idling!

The Search Is Finally Over! Found the problem it is a vacuum leak. Right under the thermostat housing a little bit in the back there is a black hose it runs behind the manifold the hose itself split a little a tiny bit and it's causing the noise. I was fishing around the engine with the car running...

Re: Volvo S70 has weird humming/buzzing noise when idling!

I did the screwdriver trick exactly how you mentioned and i did it in different spots on each component as well. Kinda of hard to pinpoint it. I'm going to post on another Volvo forum to see if anyone on there had a similar problem.

Re: Volvo S70 has weird humming/buzzing noise when idling!

I ended up starti...

I added some ATF to the cold line and the noise didn't change still appears after warm up. It was not foaming or had any air bubbles and it was still red. I was thinking about doing ...
