Re: hood alignment adjustment

Yep we do, but i keep being 'corrected' by you guys as there are only a few Aussies and assorted others on the forum so I thought I would try to identify better. The 'hood' is a bonnet.

Re: hood alignment adjustment

Hi bigkev414, Is mudguard the bumper (UPDATE: I got it, Fenders) :D ? I loosened the four bolts to the hood and just slightly slide it around to even out the gap.

check engine light diagnosis

Hi From time to time the check engine light comes on in my S70, but everything runs OK. Took it to the Volvo dealer who put their diagnostic code reader on and told me that it was 'something to do with fuel' but didn't know what. Suspected low quality fuel. Wanted to investigate but it comes and goe...
