Re: Bad fuel filter?

No turbo base model, no lights on at all. No check engine or ETS light. The wagon does have 183XXX on it and I recently did a tune up & oil change but no fuel filter. Ive read other posts from here that people had similar probs and turned out to be a bad/dirty fuel filter. Either way Im gonna st...

Re: Bad fuel filter?

I thought it could be a vacuum leak as well. I did notice that the Air Intake Hose had a tear in the end that fits over the ETM. I know Im going to replace that as well.

Bad fuel filter?

Ok, so I went to crank up the 99 V70 this week and it fired up but the idle dropped down to 4-500 but then does back up and stabilizes. Then I drove it to town and came to a stop and the idle does the same thing, yet it wont stabilize until I’m at a complete stop. While driving I don’t get any loss ...

Re: Wet under floormat on Drivers side 99 V70

Wet under floormat on Drivers side 99 V70

Hello All. So today when I went to clean out the 1999 V70 Wagon I noticed that it was wet unter the floormat. I dont know if its water or coolant. Ive done a bit of research here on the forums and it looks like its pointing to the heater core needing to be replaced. Few questions: 1- Is this a hard ...

Re: Worth buying? I want your thoughts on this

Lol....Ive never really taken any of my car to a shop for repairs. My father was gracious enough to drag me out of my warm bed as a child to show me how to do the basic repairs yourself and how to maintain a car. Maybe we can meet up if this gets serious and me and the owner reach a price we can agr...

Re: Rebuild or buy used engine?

Well my goal was to restore it yet Ive found a couple of others that are already running in the $1000-1500 range with 3rd row seats in them already. Ill probably go and look at those since they are 1-2hrs away.

I really want a turbo wagon and let the wife have the V70.

Thanks everyone for the input.
