Re: 98 V70 GLT Noise While Braking, Not Pads

Thanks everyone for your input. It is definitely coming from the front. I recently replaced the rear pads, as well. I also, do not think it is the brakes. The noise is mainly while braking but, only at slow speeds. If braking from highway speeds, there is no noise. The noise only starts when the car ...

Re: 98 V70 GLT Noise While Braking, Not Pads

Thanks for the reply. It is more of a growl than a squeal. I did not replace the rotors when I replaced the pads. The rotors seemed fine but, I wonder if the rotors wore down over time and causing the brakes to make noise. The car has 200k on it but, the dealer serviced the car every 5k until 100k ...

98 V70 GLT Noise While Braking, Not Pads

My 98 V70 GLT is making noise while braking. At first, I figured the brake pads were worn but, they were only half worn. I replaced them anyways. Still makes noise that sounds like the brakes but, is not. I think maybe the CV axles or, something along those lines are bad. It does seem to make the ...

Re: 98 V70 GLT Transmission Rattling Noise

It does sound like a cover of some sort is rattling. I was even thinking a possibility of something with the catalytic converter. The only thing I can't put together is why it stops, when I put the transmission in gear. Maybe quiets a vibration? Where exactly is the heat shield? Thanks for the help ...

98 V70 GLT Transmission Rattling Noise

I have a 1998 V70 GLT FWD that has started to make a rattling noise. The noise appears regularly and sounds like a cover is rattling. You can only seem to hear the noise from inside the car. Whenever I get out to try and see where it is coming from, I can not seem to hear it. I believe it is related ...

Re: 1998 Volvo V70 AWD Hard Starting

Check your MAF. I just resolved my same problem by replacing the MAF. May not be the problem but, it is quick and easy to test. Undo the plug on it and see if it starts, if it does, MAF is bad. MAF is located on the air intake just north of the air filter. Thing with a plug on it. Good luck.

Re: 98 V70 GLT Fuel Problem - Stalling

Thank you everyone for your advice. I drove the car to work today, 35 miles one way and, it ran normal.....quick (can't beat the turbo model). I did not do any jack rabbit starts, never have, just smooth acceleration. Fuel milage seemed about the same, did not notice a difference from before. No ...

Re: 1994 850 wont start

Check your MAF (Mass Air Flow Sensor). My car would not start recently and it seemed like a fuel problem. It acted like it wanted to start but wouldn't and when it would, it would run a few seconds then shut off. It was not fuel related but, instead something simple but, initially overlooked. The ...

Re: 98 V70 GLT Fuel Problem - Stalling

Problem solved. It was the MAF. Disconnected and the car works like it should. From what I understand, the car might run rich with it disconnected but, no damage will be done to engine. Is this correct thinking? Thought I might drive to work tomorrow instead of truck. Ordering new Bosch MAF.

Re: 98 V70 GLT Fuel Problem - Stalling

Checked fuel relay. It is working fine. Investigated a little further, disconnected fuel line at rail and have plenty of fuel (turn key on, it starts pumping gas!). Can the rail be examined, clogged, cleaned? Or, is it most likely an injector? I pulled all the plugs off the injectors, inspected and ...
