My 98 S70 GLT has finally bled enough from my wallet. Currently it has ~184,000 miles, lots of suspension problems, some body damage, and the ignition tumbler assembly is broken leaving the steering wheel locked. The engine seems to be in ok condition. Drives good, still has lots of pep.

I have ...

Thank you for the links, saving $100 over what the local dealership has is a lot easier to work with. However, so I am clear, I am not able to grab a seatbelt from similar 98-00 Volvos and mount it? I am just curious as to why, since a lot of other parts are interchangeable between trim models. Also ...

I have tried the method described in this thread...

To pry upwards on the spool with no luck. So it looks like I am in the market for a new seat belt. I feel more uneasy driving unsecured than I did with the engine trouble I ...

It's me again, with misfire problems still. Today my car stalled five times in less than a 1/4 mile, and was pumping out some serious white smoke when stumbling along. I have pretty much had the same problem for months now, but the more I repair the worse it all seems to get with time. After new ...

I don't do my own oil changes, so I don't know if there is water in the oil. When I check the dip stick, it seems to be just oil there. Something that has been concerning me a bit about my oil levels though. After a long drive sometimes I will check my oil level and stick will be bone dry. If I add ...

I finally have my misfiring problem resolved. Finally. The culprit was my fuel pump after everything I replaced, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, coil, and MAF. The pump I bought was from this ebay seller . The pump fit and works fine, they did however provide me with the wrong wire harness, it was meant ...

My pump has arrived, and I have the access panel off. None of the tools I have seem to be doing the trick, and I fear I could damage something if I keep trying to remove it without something proper. Can anyone suggest something I could pick up at a auto store, harbor freight, lowes, home depot, or ...

I will be receiving a new fuel pump in a couple of days, however I do not know how to remove it. I know where to access it, but my tools are limited. What can I buy locally to help remove this easily? The replacement I am getting isn't OEM, so should I be prepared to make any changes to the assembly ...

Bump for some clarification.

Do I need a jumper wire with a fuse, or can I use just a paper clip like jblackburn suggests?

Also I noticed today it stalling out in the parking lot at work while trying to make a hard right turn. It did not do it turning left. After straightening the wheel it went ...

Just put back the old ignition coil back in since it runs ok.

I forgot to mention I also replaced the Mass Air Flow sensor. It was the first thing I replaced. When the problems began I would take my air box off and run it for a few seconds without a filter and that fixed it every time. Since ...
