'05 S80 trunk release issue

Hello all. I am puzzled. The trunk latch above the license plate does not work. I hit the trunk release button on the FOB twice and the trunk releases...so that works. Now the puzzling part. When I open my driver's door, the trunk releases. I would then have to close the trunk. Also, occassionally t...

Hissing sound driver's side under hood

I have a 2005 S80 with 84K highway miles. Recently I noticed a hissing sound coming from under the hood, driver’s side, when I step on the gas pedal. Let off the gas, hissing sound stops. Only hisses when about to shift into the next gear. When cruising with no gear shifting, hissing sound is gone. ...

'98 S70 SAS valve needed also?

1998 S70 GLT with 156K miles. Had air pump replaced in Feb '07 with 138K miles. SAS valve was not replaced, only air pump. Noticed today that the air pump was whinning loudly again. If I replace the SAS valve, will I save the air pump? No CEL on yet. Thanks.

I have a '98 S70 GLT and have the same issue. Once the grinding stops, the ABS and Tracs lights come on. Codes say it is the front and back right sensors. Could it also be my ABS module? The Volvo dealership says yes. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply MIJ. Please let me know what you think. 1. I noticed that my neg battery cable was coming apart near the battery terminal. The mechanic did not replace, but instead, put it back together and heavily taped it. Would that be the bad grounding issue? 2. Car starts fine. Just ...

'98 S70 Faulty headlight switch?

I have a '98 S70 with 139K miles. At start up, all the dashboard lights and headlights flicker for about 30 seconds, then everything returns to normal. I've been reading about the faulty headlight switch. Could that be my problem? If so, would the recall still be in effect after so long? I'm the 2nd...

Thanks everyone. This looks like a weekend project for my buddy and I. I'm pretty handy, so hopefully it will only take one Saturday. Does anyone have the instructions to install a new pump, SAS valve, and relay for a S70 GLT? Any special tools required? Regarding drilling 2 holes at the bottom...ho...

Hi JRL. Thanks for the tip. I do have that whinning noise at start-up. I know I have to fix, but I want to buy some time before I fix. I drive 100 miles per day. I will get my car inspected on a Sat morn. in Feb. I'll do a test this week to see how long the CEL stays off.
