Re: 1999 S70 Turn Signal and Steering Wheel Lock moves.

Thanks, I'll check it out. The column and steering wheel are solid side to side, up and down, etc. When I had the cover off and rotated the switch housing nothing solidly bolted seemed to move. The turn signal a WW wands move up and down about 10mm.

1999 S70 Turn Signal and Steering Wheel Lock moves.

Recently I noticed that the unit that mounts the turn signal, wiper control and wheel lock rotates a bit. I can move it back and forth a small amount. Took the plastic covers off and do not see any screws of bolts that might be loose. There is a steel tube that contains the steering shaft that the s...

Re: 98 V70R Sudden Loss of Power & Now Barely Runs

I had a similar problem with a S70 GLT. The ABS plastic pipe that connected to the bottom of the throttle body had come off. It is held on with a hose clamp and I did not have it tight enough after doing a top end overhaul. It happened during a full-power test drive under maximum boost. It is hard t...

Re: Code P0422 (I know, not new but I'm stuck.

Did the laquer thinner trick today then took a 70 mile round trip. The exhaust smells better and the CEL stayed off. On earlier resets it came on after just a few miles. Filled the tank with new 87 octane at the end of the trip. We have only ever run regular gas. We once heard that premium would giv...

Re: Code P0422 (I know, not new but I'm stuck.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'll take the multi-prong approach with vacuum leaks, oil leaks and try the catalytic converter cleaning using laquer thinner. If all else fails it's time for a trip to my local mechanic.

Code P0422 (I know, not new but I'm stuck.

CEL came on about 30 days ago. Finally got around to getting a reader. Showed bad front O2 sensor so I changed it out. Now I am getting the P0422. One thing both my wife and I immediatly noticed was the exhaust now smells very "gassy" like an old car. That is a new symptom in the past few ...
