1999 Volvo S70 - Page 6 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Many things... When was last "healthy" tune up? Plugs, wires, ALL filters especially fuel filter??? I would start there. Also might want to run a good fuel system cleaner like SeaFoan, STP etc through with next tankful of fuel

You may have to pull the glove box out or look under the dash.

Don't know how to lock in the front axle (Rt) side the passenger side?

do a compression test first, that will give you an idea if the engine is still good. it should be between 185 to 213 psi with a maximum difference of 28.4 psi under or over. this sounds like the compression is in the pan and not in the cylinders.

yes the drive will clear the water by the fact that the engine gets hot ,some garages love to play with their toys this is nothing just a bit of condensation caused by short runs .

the heater in the O2 sensor isnt working ,sensor 2 is one after the cat

if you spilled some on the engine you will smell it until it is evaporated.

may be a faulty spark plug / lead or similar electrical fault.

HOPE THIS HELPS

inlet air temp for the engine is located inside the MAF
the "air temp", like the one for the outside temp that is displayed on the dash is located in front of the condenser

Seat belts cannot be fixed for safety reasons. If there's nothing obvious blocking the action of the belt then the only fix is to replace it entirely. If you get a replacement from the scrapyard then do not take it from one which has suffered impact damage.

depending on year and model your best source is the dealer

however, you can buy the dealer service manuals at helm.com

sounds like you have a leak concern if they are adding freon

however, it also sounds like a restriction in the system and/or a defective TXV

do you have pressure gauges... this is the only way to diagnose an a/c system without just throwing parts at the concern

TAKE IT INTO AUTO ZONE PARTS STORE, THEY WILL SCAN IT FOR FREE AND GIVE YOU A PRINT OUT OF THE COMPONENTS THAT ARE BAD AND ALSO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW MUCH THE PARTS COST AND THE PARTS AVAILABILITY....SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS.

Check battery voltage, battery connector cleanliness, and correct any problems such as dirty connections.

Check the amperage draw of the starter. 75 to 110 A should be plenty for a rapidly spinning starter. If it doesn't spin rapidly with this amount of draw on the thick cables coming off of the battery, then there is something wrong with the starter.

If there is no or little amperage draw, and the starter doesn't turn the engine over, then there is still something wrong with the starter, more specifically the solenoid which sits on the starter.

Good luck on this repair.

My car had the same problem. Turns out the gear shift was not correctly going into Park. My mechanic adjusted the gear shift and now it's fine.

Whats is with this question tonight ... ... the simple answer to the water pump replacement is you repoace it when it starts leaking ... the pump itself is nearly bullet proof. It is the seal that is the weak part ... when it starts leaking ... replace the pump.

The simple answer is when it starts leaking ...
