Odd noise and steering wheel pulations

[Nulluser00]

I also placed this in my fuel pressure varies post...

I am sorry for the delay.
I found several issues with the S60.
1) Steering fluid low and ATF instead of silicon
Flushed and replaced fluid, no steering shimmy
2) The hose to the MAP had been removed at both ends and the engine port blocked with a cap.
I inspected another 2002 S60 and found this little hose, I followed it to a little module. Stopped by Adance Auto and picked up a foot of 1/8" hose. Removed the cap and installed the hose. There was no way I could get a normal hose clamp to fasten the engine port side, so I slid a larger piece of rubber hose and used a normal hose clamp. I reconnected the MAF sensor, and the car runs great.

Now to troubleshoot the windshield wiper.

I'm on forced 'stay at home' because I've tested positive for COVID-19, I live in a remote rural valley, no real internet, I'm using my phone as a WiFi hotspot, slow as can be. I do not have any symptoms. I have mile asthma but my flow rate is normal. No GI upset, no fever no nothing. I'll be released from home incarceration next Wednesday (April 16, 2020). Can't wait to get back to work!

I will remove the plastic shield above the wiper assembly this afternoon and see what I can decipher.
The fuse is good.

Take care everyone and sorry for the ultra long dealy. I work in the power distribution side of engineering and we were buried in work. 80 hour weeks, lots of travel. But we finished all our outstanding projects before our receptionist came down with COVID-19. She recovered. I work with 9 people and everone tested positive. One older guy is having trouble, he's on oxy but not a ventalator. COVID-19 is extremely contagious! I had no interaction with our receptionist and don't think I was within 30 feet of her but the virus probably got in the HVAC air stream. The boss, my aunt, had a UV sterilizer placed in the HVAC ait out put and a commercial cleaning crew come in and give the place a complete cleaning.

Again, thanks for the advice, sorry I didn't reply earlier but after recovering from the flu I had very little free time.

I've learned a lot about trouble shooting, look things over, verify everything is within spec, fluid levels, hoses, wiring etc and never ever assume anything!.

Great to know you are doing well and have been spared from the COVID-19 symptoms. Your immune system was probably in high gear after your flu so you might have been ahead of everyone else in terms of not being sick.

I just use for the first time the method in the video I suggested on flushing the power-steering for the 03 S80 T6. Going to do the same thing in the next couple of day on the 03 GS300. No mess and you control the flow.

I been using the HAVOLINE 226536481-12pk Full Synthetic Multi-Vehicle ATF for everything Trans and DEX. Great stuff.
