Re: Rough beginnings

No check engine light on? Yes. My o2 sensor I know is showing up on the codes. Check engine light has been on and I know I need to change the o2. The mpg is affected, yes. Now, since THIS issue has been going on (rough idle for first 4-5 minutes) the check engine light blinks. Then when it smooths o...

Re: Rough beginnings

RPMS run higher just a bit. 950 to 1000. Not bouncing up and down.
Bought it in June so I don't know when the plugs were done.

Thanks.

ps. Could a bad o2 sensor produce these symptoms?

Rough beginnings

Hello. 2000 V70 2.4 L 5-cylinder non-turbo. It started with the cold weather, but now even when warmer it's still doing it. When I start up in the morning it would run rough for about 10-20 seconds. Now, over time that's stretched out to about 4-5 minutes. After that, it smooths out and idles at nor...

Re: Coolant leak

If I jack in up and get underneath will I be able to see it from under the car?

Re: Coolant leak

I looked underneath. There is coolant leaking about where the tie rod and axle is about 15-20 inches away from passenger front tire toward the center but still on the passenger side I may have bumped the bottom of the car on a small sewer lid (terrible construction). Don't know if this caused anythi...

Coolant leak

Every few days now, my coolant level drops just the minimum and my light come on and I fill it back. Two questions.
1) I can't see where it's leaking. Is there a good way to find out?
2) Is there any place that is the usual or common place with this model?
2000 v70 non-turbo 5cyl. Base
Thanks,
Jim

Re: Trans cooler line baffle....

Thanks. I did see post about drain and fill, drive 50 miles or so and do it again 2 more times. What do you think about that?
Thanks,
Jim
