Thanks. That helps me feel a lot less nervous about the driving ill be doing over the next few days.

I really appreciate it.

I've got a 99 V70glt that has gotten noticeably louder over the last few months.

It sounds almost like an exhaust leak, and when poking around, it sounds like it's emanating from under the "shroud" immediately behind the engine. Inside the passenger compartment I often hear more turbo sound than ...

And the old school Apple sticker!

Anyone?

The light keeps returning.

Is there an easy way to clean the thing, or am I probably going to need to get it replaced?

I have a 99glt wagon.

It's a princess.

I haven't had the nightmares that some people have, but I do have some annoying things going on (like my coolant sensor light that I need to smack with a shoe to make go away, and a Check Engine light that's been on for a year).

And I keep thinking about ...

Awesome.

Next question: how do I remove it with those weird hex-head (with post) screws? It doesn't look like I could get a driver in there.

I think I'm going to end up replacing this, but I just want to make sure that THIS is the Mass Air Flow Sensor.

I'm talking about the part with the plug plugs into.



Also, how would I remove it?

I just wanted to share with some like minded folks who'd appreciate my car's 100k achievement.

I've got pics. I'll post them up later if anyone's interested, I just wanted to say that I'm proud of my baby.

Here's the follow up:

Lee, you rock.

Before heading off to lunch, I popped the hood, and while I had an audience of coworkers, I shook and smacked (with my shoe) the coolant overflow tank.

I got in, turned the key and no more warning light.

Ahh the joys of Volvo ownership.

Thanks!
