S70 (1998) Washer fluid warning light

In my S70 the wind-shield-washer-fluid-warning light stays continuously on despite the fact that the reservoir is filled with washer. I assume that this is the sensor going bad. How difficult is it to replace this sensor, and how expensive is it? Can I do this job on my own in my garage, or is this ...

Re: S70 (1998) Dashboard

Thank you guys for all your input. I will have to think about spending $2K. However, my wife's dashboard rattles horrible, and we might decide to go to a dealer to have this addressed.

Thank you so much.

S70 (1998) Dashboard

I am hoping that someone may enlighten me. In wife's S70 the piece of plastic that runs along the windshield and separates the windshield from the rest of the dashboard is seriously cracked. The crack is located where the alarm light is located. Hence, I am thinking either of having it replaced or r...

There is no doubt in my mind that Volvos are less refined than Mercedes. Despite what Americans might think Volvo is not a luxury car whereas Mercedes is. However, having totaled two Volvos I would never want to be caught in any other car but a Volvo when a truck or an suv is barreling at me. These ...

S70, 98, dashboard bulb

Part of my dashboard has gone dark, which, I assume, is burnt out light bulb. Can someone direct to the place where I can find instructions on how to change this bulb with as little hassle as possible?

Thank you.

I have always used the highest grade gas to power our Volvos. The difference between the price of the regular and the premium is so insignificant that I figure to stick with the premium.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the timing belt, water pump, and the tensioner have been changed on this car. I don't know how much the person is asking for his 960, but I have seen 960s and S90s with 45K miles on them for less than $6K. 960s and S90s are great Volvos, but they do require some attention t...

have you had your car since the beginning or purchased it used? was this just a recent problem or one you got when you got the car? Sometimes you have to suspect the previous ownership.. or the dealer. From the beginning the seat belts have been quite weak in terms of retraction, but they did work....

Thanks for your response. To answer your question: No, the car has never been in an accident. I think that it is a coincidence that both belts seem to be quite weak in terms of their retraction abilities.
