98 Volvo S70 - Looking at possibly buying

See attached pictures. I am going to message him tomorrow morning to see if it's still available. Too good to be true? I have an 850 and I know the mileage can be an inaccurate as it's common for the odometer to stop working. Any issues I should be aware of with the s70? For context, I have a 96 850...

Re: Sound when accelerating / Loud Engine (Video Links Included)

I can't thank you enough for stopping by and helping me diagnose! It was so kind of you to offer your knowledge and time. I will keep you guys posted once I finally get the work done to confirm whether it was power steering pump or not. You could definitely hear the noise increase with the cap off t...

Re: Sound when accelerating / Loud Engine (Video Links Included)

It is definitely an rpm dependent noise, constant but clearly increases with the RPMs. I wouldn't want to put you out of your way (I live about 45 minutes outside of Boston) but that's so kind of you to offer! I think I'm just going to bring it to the mechanic next week. Once he identifies the probl...

Re: Sound when accelerating / Loud Engine (Video Links Included)

I only had time to check the power steering fluid and try turning the wheel / high beams while idling. The power steering fluid level was fine, maybe a little over full. The color was good - a fairly bright red as it should be. In the video below, you can hear a slight difference in the noise when t...

Re: Sound when accelerating / Loud Engine (Video Links Included)

@ polskamafia mjl: I honestly did not even think about the power steering pump but that could be a possibility. Would the noise increase with acceleration though? It seems to be coming from the passenger side more. @abscate : I will try to get a hose and pinpoint where the noise is coming from. I di...

Sound when accelerating / Loud Engine (Video Links Included)

Hi everyone! My 96 850 has started making a noise when accelerating. It is particularly loud when accelerating from a complete stop, but it is constantly there when accelerating. The engine also seems to be louder when I opened the hood to check my oil and transmission fluids. I have included one vi...

Re: Gas tank problems

Did you ever figure this out? I am in the EXACT same boat. Gas tank plate is all corroded away and looks the same but there is NO place for straps. I've been searching for part numbers for the gas tank and am having difficulty finding anything. Did find one strap but there is no location to put them...
