Re: 1998 S70 GLT 130,000 miles - A few Issues - HELP

If you have time, nerves and knowledge how to do it - it is definitely worth pulling off the dash and fixing the freakin squeak. Mine was driving me crazy but I solved it in a pretty barbaric way.

So, I got the expanding foam and poured it in till the squeak stopped. It was drivin me crazy and ...

How to make s70 more comfortable? any ideas?

So as the topic says, I am wondering if there is anything that can be done to make S70 more comfortable? The car seems the be kind of harsh when driven over the road bumps.


The struts seem ok (no noise) and tires are ok as well. Wondering what else can be done to address this issue if anything

Re: air pump question

I had a problem related to emitions for about a year, and several mechanics could not figure out what was the deal. It turned out that black hose was leaking (the one which goes from air pump to sas valve). If ur air pump is not working just replace it with used one, and i guess and u should be fine ...

I found this method on here but it doesnt work for me:
Turn key on pos 1 while holding the odometer reset button. Keep holding it in and turn key to pos 2. Wait for service light to flash. Its now reset

Is there any other way to reset this or I have to take it to the dealer

Re: Red warning on the Instrument Panel S70

Re: Red warning on the Instrument Panel S70

Check your "B" battery cable.
This is the cable that goes from the battery to the fuse box.
It's hard to tell but if you open the fulebox, look at the metal connector.
If it shows signs of heat and it's scorched that could be your problem.
If it hasn't been replaced from original by now, it's due ...
