Re: 1999 awd driving characteristics
I've been driving this car less that 6 months and it had an alignment when it had it's safety inspection. Do these awd vehicles have the same alignment specs as fwd?
But yes it was on a computerized alignment machine.

Re: 1999 awd driving characteristics
Funny,, even at extremely slow parking lot maneuvers the front end gets pushed sideways when entering a parking space. I know the front drive is working because when i tap the accelerator it's the front tires that loose traction. But I guess it's the tires then.. because i figured with awd i wouldn'...

1999 awd driving characteristics
Hey all Just some thoughts here from a relative noobie to the Volvo not to mention my first AWD car. So to set the stage I've always been suspect of this 1999 s70 awd system and the other day we get snow here in southern Ontario and the road are a thick mix of melting snow and salt. I head out and a...

Re: awd failure symptoms
Hey there So tonight I jacked up the right front corner wheel and with tranny in neutral put a torque wrench on a wheel nut to see how much the viscous coupling would take...It seems angle gear passed the test with flying colors and viscous coupling slipped with a constant force of 40 plus ft lbs of...

Re: awd failure symptoms
Thanks Robert, Neil So I've never owned a awd car before so i'm not sure what performance to expect from one. As i expected the rear tires were not being driven, i found a snow covered slippery road surface asked my girlfriend to deliberately accelerate in an aggressive manner to induce wheel spin w...

awd failure symptoms
So i have this 1999 s70 awd that I've been wrenching on and when i bought it the previous owner told me he removed the driveshaft to the rear because the center support was worn and he was getting vibrations. My whole reason for buying this car was to have awd for the winter season..So i went ahead ...

p80 Headlight wipers internals
I know the headlight wipers are pretty much useless on these cars,,,or any car for that matter. And I know most of you have just deleted them and life is good. But I'd like mine to work as they should even if it's just for giggles. Now my left front wiper works fine. It's the right one that's giving...

Re: 2000 XC se V70 hard start long crank
Hey There So at position 2 the fuel pump will initially pressurize then shut down, correct? And at that point fuel pressure should be a stable 60 psi? I don't have a proper fuel testing rig but i've heard you can use a digital tire gauge? I say digital because that what I have ;-) Just want to be su...

Re: 2000 XC se V70 hard start long crank
Hey there
I'm experiencing similar issues with long cranking and initial stumble/stall with my 1999 s70 awd 2.4t.
But once the engine is running it runs flawless and rock solid idle.
there's no mil codes showing.
Was the check valve the answer?
cheers
