For Sale: 1998 Black S70 GLT $600 276k

I am parting ways with this black beast. She's not in the best condition but she still runs and drives. She has a loud knock and is probably on 3-4 cylinders. She doesn't like anything above 2500RPM but once the transmission gets to shifting she can cruise around town. Interior is ok but she needs t...

Re: 1998 S70 Cooling Fan Hard-wire; bypass relay

This car will not have a future owner, believe me. Not really what I asked for but thanks for the opinions anyways.

1998 S70 Cooling Fan Hard-wire; bypass relay

I have a high mileage s70 I am just trying to keep alive. My cooling fan relay is shot and it looks like the wires were also cut by the fan or some outside force. My question is if there is anyway to hardwire the fan to run only when the motor is on. I do not want to replace the relay, I want to byp...

Re: 98 S70 Help steam and coolant light

So I found the culprit. It indeed was the hose from the block to the heater core. I already performed the heater hose firewall coupling delete so I just used some 5/8 fuel vapor line, real stiff, and used a barbed 3/4 brass fitting I found at the big box hardware store and everything is back running...

Re: 98 S70 Help steam and coolant light

So it was not the turbo inlet hose but it was close to failing and needed replacement. It is the hose running from the motor to what is I assume the heater core. I need to replace this hose and was wondering the dimensions on it. I was also wondering if anyone else has tackled this and how you went ...

Re: 98 S70 Help steam and coolant light

The hose behind the turbo coolant hose I am thinking is a heater core hose that runs through the firewall, am I correct? I had a leak that was coming from this location, I assume it was due to a fattened turbo inlet.

Re: 98 S70 Help steam and coolant light

Got the car home. Up on the jacks, filled with water and cranked. Obvious leak at the turbo inlet hose but I could not find any breaks, holes or tears once the hose was removed. So I observed that the inlet hose basically connects the banjo bolt and stem to another hard pipe next to motor. On my S70...

Re: 98 S70 Help steam and coolant light

So do we think it is a turbo or radiator hose? Most of them have been replaced less than a year ago, not at the same time but collectively. I haven't had time to research it today or have much time tonight as it is my only mode of transportation. Thanks guys and gals.

98 S70 Help steam and coolant light

On my way to work the low coolant light illuminated and I could hear and see steam coming from the back (drivers side) of the motor. At quick glance in the work parking lot it appeared it was underneath or around the distributor. What should I look for after work? Isn't there a hard coolant line aro...

OP explains it was replaced on Sunday, thanks though.
