Wow, that worked suprisingly well. Thanks. Sometimes the best solution is not the most complex one.

Hello. I've got a 1998 v70 xc - Automatic transmission. The button on the gear shifter tends to stick in warm weather so when I put the car in Park, I find myself prying it out with my fingers. It always comes out but it's an annoyance. I imagine something needs to get lubricated and/or cleaned. I ...

5W-40 is not one of the recommended oils for that car (as far as I'm aware). Usually 5W-30 or 10W-30 are the ones used. It really depends on where you live and operate the car regularly.

If you live somewhere really cold, use 5W-30, if not 10W-30 works for nearly anything. Do you have an oil leak ...

Hi all. I have a question about the type of oil I can use in my car. I apologize if this topic gets beat to death but I did a quick search and didn't find the answer I was looking for.

I've got a 1998 XC with 128K. I've been taking it to a reputable service station near my house for several years ...

I have a few burned out light bulbs on the rocker switches (fog lights, defrost, tracs, erc) on my dashboard. I know how to get the switches out. What type of light bulb goes in those switches? Is it the same ones that go in the radio?

Thanks for the replies everyone. I looked for the white lithium grease at one automotive store and they only had it in a tube looks like it goes into some sort of gun, sort of like a caulking gun.

I'm going to look at another store and try to find a spray can of it.

Thanks again!

I am wondering what people use to lubricate the doors and the sunroof on their Volvo's.

For the sunroof, I imagine you would need to lubricate:
1. The hinges that raises the sunroof when you are "venting"
2. The tracks
Is there anything else, like the outside edge of the sunroof?

For the front and ...

Hey all - I wanted to let everyone know that replacing the relay seemed to have fixed my problem as well. It's been warm here in VA and I won't feel 100% confident until the temps go down to 30 degrees but I'm at 99% now. I took the easy way out and bought a new one; I didn't feel like messing with ...

Yeah, that was it. Thanks!

All,

I've got a 98 XC and I am trying to find the fuel pump relay. I need to examine it, and maybe the board it is attached to, to hopefully solve this problem: https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9287.

I've read here that the 98 XC is similar to the mid 90's 850. So, I've ...
