Re: Volvo 240 Terrible Gas Mileage!

Hi Dowst, This is an interesting topic. If you solved the problem, please reply. Being a novice, I throw parts in which of course is expensive and not terribly smart. You might look for a used known-working MAF and give it a try. There is a national network www.car-parts.com I have a spare used MAF ...

Re: 90 Volvo 240 MAF sensor brand?

Just had this come up as I cleaned the original MAF which subsequently killed it (rich fuel trim). I even used the right stuff-air mass sensor cleaner. Bought a ProgRama remanufactured unit. It stopped the rich trim problem but had surging, misfires, hiccups. I'm returning it now. Put in a used junk...

Re: Hideous vibration after renewing engine mounts

Marcobrick, I have also been thru the motor mount and vibration nonsense. I was insistent on figuring out why my wife's 2000 S70 nonturbo vibrated at idle. I had both the lower hydraulic mounts changed after I changed the one by the crank, top and torque strap. I bought non-Volvo mounts from IPD. Bi...

Re: 5 sp auto tranny drain and fill question....

My wife's Volvo is a 2000 S70, 5 speed Auto transmission. I do a drain & fill once per year and I get out the same as your 4 speed--about 3 1/4 quarts.

Re: Xemodex success with 2nd try; great service from Xemodex

Yes, the Xemodex ETM comes to you already downloaded with the software. My mistake was that I didn't tell Chris that I had another software "repair" in addition to the Campaign 155. So, once he knew that, he sent me a new unit downloaded with all the correct software and it worked.

Xemodex success with 2nd try; great service from Xemodex

I thought this deserved it's own posting since I wanted to make a couple of points about the Xemodex replacement ETM. Vehicle: 2000 S70 non-turbo, bought new, my wife's Mileage 103,500 miles The ETM I replaced was the original. It had not failed. My wife and I didn't like the idea of ever experienci...

Re: Which parts must be top quality? Which may not be?

Matthew, I thought Volvo oil filters were made by Mahle. Perhaps I'm mistaken.

Re: How to make s70 more comfortable? any ideas?

I have always thought the same of our S70--harsh over bumps and rough rodes. I found that lowering the tire pressure helps some, I use 32 front, 29 rear. This car will also need new tires soon--I'm wondering about Bridgestone 960s. They ride very well on my BMW, and very quiet and seem just a bit so...

Re: Happy Ending to Motor Mount Saga

Yes, this is the rear (in terms of vehicle orientation) hydraulic mount. And yes, it has the cable that goes around it. I still have the aftermarket front hydraulic mount. I'll take a look at it next and see if it has collapsed also. I only replaced the rear because it was the wrong part number.

Happy Ending to Motor Mount Saga

2000 Volvo S70 NA; 97,000 miles. I thought I would refresh the audience from an older post on this subject. My wife's car is a 2000 S70 NA, bought it new. I can't remember exactly when the idle noise/vibration started but it was when it was relatively new. We never inquired about this because it rea...
