Re: Headlight Adjustment Screw for S40

Hmmm... Mine looks different. I have a 2003 S40, and the headlight assembly looks like the one pictured here:

The white nut with the 3 splines broke. I accidently snapped it and it seems that the rest of the nut is brittle. Is ...

Re: What is the Best transmission fluid for Volvo's?

I have a 1999 S70 with the AW 50-42. On FCP Euro, the Volvo brand ATF, p/n 1161540 says this in the description:
"Genuine Volvo replacement transmission fluid

The only oil approved for the 5 and 6 speed automatic transmissions is JWS 3309. None of the other fluids available on the market have been ...

Re: 1999 S70 Radio SC-813 LED's flicker and are out

The instrument lighting and the radio lighting is all run in parallel off of the dimmer. The pink wire on pin 10 of the A connector to the radio is the lighting circuit.

...Lee


That is exactly where the problem was. The spade terminal in the connector was loose, so when I plugged the connector ...

Re: 1999 S70 Radio SC-813 LED's flicker and are out

After further investigation I have found:
The backlights do work when only connected to the original wire harness.
The backlights do NOT work when the adapter harness is installed.

I tried wiggling the wires around while the unit was on to see if there was a loose connection somewhere that would ...

1999 S70 Radio SC-813 LED's flicker and are out

I am in the process of adding an antenna down switch to my SC-813. I received the Volvo wiring harness today and installed it, but am still waiting for the switch to arrive. I noticed when the engine revved between 2700 - 3000 rpms, only the radio LEDs would dim and flicker. When the revs dropped ...

2003 S40 Doors and trunk are stuck during winter

My mom has a 2003 S40 in the northeast. When temperatures are above freezing, the doors and trunk work as they should. But once it starts getting close to freezing the doors start to resist opening, and the colder it gets the more stubborn the door becomes to stay closed despite being unlocked. The ...

Re: Car shifts out of park with no brake, shifter button app

Today the shift button seemed a little stickier, when I would depress it, it would not return to its normal position without pressing on the side of the button and pushing out.

I just got this car with only 91000 miles on it, so it doesn't look like it has been beat on much.

Re: Car shifts out of park with no brake, shifter button app

My 1999 S70 is doing the same thing. Once the center console is removed, what am I looking for and is there any available diagrams of this mechanism?
Thanks
