This is the one I use. The only issue is under some very bright sunlight conditions the display is a little washed out. If you don't need to adjust the frequency it is not an issue. It usually just syncs up as soon as I sit in the car with my phone and the HU is tuned to the matched frequency. Enjoy ...

For all 3 of my 98 & 99 volvos with 2 x 816, and 1 x 900 Head units I just use a Bluetooth to FM converter plugged into the cigarette lighter. Works great. Tune to an unused frequency on the FM band. Match on the adapter device. Pair your phone to the adapter. I like mine because it as a physical ...

Recently I put my 1998 S70 in the carport to do some maintenance. When I started the engine to warm up the transmission fluid I heard a strange rattle coming from the timing belt (TB) area. I shut down and removed the TB cover. Starting up again the noise was louder. I shut down and began a careful ...

You mentioned failing foam around wiring bundles. I ran into the same problem when rebuilding my dashboard in a S70. I tried to remove it but that was unsuccessful. A simple solution I used was to take thin sheets of foam packing material and cut it into long strips. I then wrapped the packing foam ...

Sorry if I missed it but did you change the coil? My 98s have a coil mounted on the strut tower drivers side. This supplies the high voltage to the cap center lead. Good luck.

Latest update:

I removed and reversed the direction of rotation of the TB. I also adjusted the tensioner again, after the belt was installed. There was some improvement. The belt now rides at the edge of all the pulleys and gears (cam gears, water pump gear, tensioner, idler and crankshaft gear-C.S ...

Just a quick update. Taking a hiatus for a few days due to the heat and other obligations. Some of the things I will try are:
1) Turn the Continental TB around so that it is running opposite to how I have been installing it. The Continental label is currently oriented to be readable when looking ...

Thanks for your replies. I am going to measure the pumps as you suggested. I am probably going to reinstall the old pump to see if it corrects the issue. That would bring me back to OEM pump, tensioner and idler. YouTube videos have suggested shimming the tensioner. I may try that on the both the ...

HEPU through FCP

Background: Purchased 1999 S70-GLT with 60K miles about 3 years ago. At that time I refreshed the timing belt, tension pulley and idler pulley.
I did not change the water pump.
After the job was completed the belt ran at the edge of all of the pulleys. But it was OK.

Due to other repairs I ...
