Hard Starting 98 V70

I have a 1998 V70. I finally got the CEL off by replacing the two vacume lines off the charcoal canister. But the car still starts hard. It cranks for 4-6 seconds and then when it fires it stumbles a little bit and smells like it is burning very rich, the exhaust smells like spray paint. This happen...

AC Delete

My AC Clutch locked up tonight. Does anyone have a part number and source for a serpentine belt to bypass the AC? IPD lists one but has none in stock. I need one tomorrow, is there a p/n for a NAPA , Advanced Auto parts or Auto Zone part?
Any info would be a huge help.

Re: Lemforder sway bar end links

I used to machine products for Lemforder. I can attest that there Quality Control Dept. is top notch. They were a pain in the butt for me as a machinist, but that makes for a quality part for me as the end user. They used to have a facility in Brewer Maine.

Re: Who owns a Diesel and runs it on veggie oil?

Washing vegetable oil is part of the process of making Bio-Diesel. You can run straight Waste Vegetable Oil. I have successfully run WVO in multiple diesels (never a Volvo). You will need to filter it. I generally stretch a piece of cloth over a five gallon bucket and pour it in to pre-filter all of...

Try cleaning the MAF. Spray it down with Brake Cleaner and wipe it out with a rag.
