Ok, just as an update. I got thru PA state inspection! However, none of the five monitors were set to "ready". PA's emission software allows these vehicles to pass regardless of the monitor status. Just wanted to let people know because this is a pain that you don't have to go thru. I hear there are ...

Yeah, my 98 V70XC has the regulator down near the steering rack on the passenger side. Odd location if you ask me.

Hi, I had yet another question about the drive cycle I'd like to ask everyone. I have a clean stretch of road where I can run the cycle but it takes about 6 minutes of stop-and-go driving to get to it. How can anyone do the cycle from a cold start? Most people can't just fly out of their driveways ...

I was thinking about the memory dump but with most cars, when I have the scanner hooked up, I see at least one of the monitors set on a simple 20 mile drive. Then, if there were a voltage problem, I'd lose the monitor or monitors I just set when I next started the car. In my case, I've never seen ...

Any luck with this as I am in the same boat. I re read over the EPA listing that somebody posted here and it appears to me that it says to treat the 96 through 98 Volvos as those with no problems or as normal vehicles. Therefore, it seems you wouldn't be able to get out of anything by bringing the ...

Thanks a bunch! I'll order them.

Lee, where can you get those Bougicords? I'll pick them up if they are only $75. Better than $155 at the dealer!

I just installed aftermarket ignition components two weeks ago and it seems to be running ok. Maybe a little sluggish. Is it just in my head or is it a real symptom. I'm reading on the forum that it's important to use at least Volvo wires. Can anybody tell me why this is? I'm not sure whether or not ...

I'm really sorry about your problem. I hope you've made it to where you are trying to go.
I had one Volvo at my shop that was acting like yours but it was a newer model turbo I think. It had loose motor mounts and every time you went to hit the gas, the motor would torque and pull one of the intake ...

Hi, I'm having the same problem. I'm experiencing full pressure an no coolant loss. No leak residue or wetness but still have the smell when heat is turned on. I was wondering about your repair. How was a leak in the engine compartment causing a smell in the cabin? Just wanted to know before I start ...
