Does your engine cooling fan run at all? The relay can fail which prevents the engine fan running = overheating. Also the fan is controlled by the engine temperature sensor. If the sensor is bad the fan may not be getting the signal to run. The engine temp sensor is mounted in the thermostat housin...

My car has recently been running hot after driving for a prolonged period of time. I flushed my coolant system thinking it was the coolant, however it overheated a few days ago and my coolant was boiling. I'm thinking my thermostat has gone bad, however I'm still a novice when it comes to this car. ...

First gentleman, I should say that I do not know what brand the previous owner purchased for the replacement of the original radiator. It's been about 3 years since I originally bought my Volvo, so I figured it was time for a coolant flush. I bought coolant and the necessary tools, since it's pretty...

Is it possible to drive without the B+ cable connected? I have a replacement cable but am unable to remove the original. If possible I'd rather take it in than risk damaging it

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a bit of an issue. I went to replace my battery and a portion of my positive cable broke off. I am a novice when it comes to my Volvo so I would appreciate any advice on what I should do to replace it. I have not connected the battery yet in fear of something else ...

I thought maybe it turned to lock in place, but the male part would not turn properly. I examined the male part and it did not see...

I'm having an issue gentlemen. I replaced the vacuum hose from the intake manifold nipple to the flame trap housing and is running fine, but I cannot reseat the flame trap housing. It is still dislodged as it is in the first picture that was posted on the first page. It will not seat properly.

Thank you! This helped me so much! It looks like it would be a PITA to remove the intake manifold, so I will try to route the new vacuum hose above the intake manifold to the IM nipple. I do think the car needs a full PCV service. Is there a good source for performing a full service on the PCV system?

As per the comments about model year: if those photos are of an S70, then it is a 98. End of discussion! The codes in the first post suggest two problems overall: (1) The EVAP codes, the P0455 and P0440, are basically nuisance codes. They may interfere with smog inspections and keep the pesky engin...

Does anyone know if that dislocation could cause a problem in my EVAP system?
