The trunk switch is not working. Not the one on the driver's door nor the one just above the license plate. The trunk does open with a key. I believe this is an actuator problem. Any advice as to how to remove the actuator? It looks like the cover above the license plate that covers the latch needs ...

I've done some digging into why the trunk doesn't open. The plug on the wiring harness has 1 wire live at all times and 1 wire live when activating the latch. I'm suspecting it's the actuator that's gone. How do you get the actuator out? There are two nuts that come off inside the trunk lid, but it ...

My 99 S70 is a manual 5-speed, and the reverse lights only go on when I jam it in reverse, and hold it tightly against the bottom of the allowable range of the shifter.... Is this something that I can easily fix?

How can you tell if the ETM has been replaced already on a '99 S70 NA with 5 speed manual. It only have 70,000 kms on it (44,000 miles). If it hasn't been done, when should I expect to do it?

I have a 99 S70, and they get almost too warm, then seem to cool off a bit, like there's a thermostat inside. Absolutely love this luxury. First vehicle I have had that had heated seats.

What is there to do with a headlight wiper that stays up 3 inches, about at 2:00 on the face of the headlight? It doesn't always stop there. Sometimes it goes down the whole way like normal. It is only the passenger side that is affected.

My 99 S70's trunk latch doesn't seem to be working, not the button on the driver's door nor the latch on the trunk itself. The only way to open it is with the key. All the wiring in the trunk lid looks very clean and original. Is there a quick fix for this?

Congrats on your purchase, what a find. As mentioned above, if the timing belt has never been replaced, put that on top of your list. Is there a way to check the timing belt easily, or will I have to take it to my mechanic? By the way, I have an awesome mechanic who used to own a Volvo, so I have s...

I will replace all fluids, filters and common seals ASAP.
Focus on achieving Stage 0.
It can take you to places for another 200,000 miles.

What does Stage 0 mean?

That is at the upper end of the price range but then again the mileage is exceedingly low. Is this a turbo? As far as typical problems go the big one is the electronic throttle module but in your case the first thing I would do is to see if the timing belt has ever been changed. The car has not rea...
