Recently my 1999 S70 GLT engine IDLE RPM starts to oscillate/hunt
between around 800 and 1300 and Check Engine light is on.  A local
technician said there is a faulty code with speed sensor and it costs
$95 parts + 3 hours of labor.  After spending $400, the RPM surge issue

The next step was to replace all the burned out bulbs. I had already
gone through the tail lights. Everything was working but there were
three bulbs that were blackened inside and were probably ready to go,
so those were replaced, and one pair were mismatched (one chrome and

Hi all;
One of the first things I was taught when I was a snot apprentice years
ago was that different metals do not like each other.
What does Volvo do - (I guess others too) is put these fancy mag wheel

if it is wet out, my mother's Volvo will not start. THe motor doesn't
turn over, the starter doesn't move, no click. Nothing.
She has put a new battery in and had someone grease all of the
connections to try and eliminate water  but it still has problems.

I am working on my 740, a sedan, 1990. I have the strut out, the spring
off, and want to get the old strut parts out to put in a new insert.
The so called "nut" on the top of the tube is simply not coming off for me.
I am following the directions on brickboard,com which have been

I noticed over the weekend that my car tends to pull left under acceleration
and veer to the right when I take my foot off the throttle.  There is no
movement of the steering wheel and the effect is very slight.  The car
doesn't change direction when braking.  I have come to the ...

Had a ECU B5 code 243 right belt, short to ground
checked all the wiring and harnasses, all ok, replaced
belt unit, reset ECU... still getting code.

Let's say that you have bought a used Volvo. And let's say that the
previous owner as well as the shop that serviced it have shown to be
not all that dependable or trustworthy. And now you want to top off
the differential but you don't know if it is limited slip or not. How

About 2 weeks ago in one of our S80's the "Emissions Service"light went
on an off intermittently. The car runs great, what could be the reason?

I'm still getting used to my (new to me) 1992 240 wagon.
Most of the time, it starts after a couple of seconds, without touching
the gas pedal.  Occasionally (either or hot or cold it seems), the
starter will crank for 3-4 seconds and the car still won't start.

During a check of the emissions system on this B23F Jetronic
II, I noticed that the connector for the AMM had been taken
apart and electrical taped back together. Oddly enough the
ground wire was very loose and the engine ran much better

Someone broke into my car last night and smashed the side glass on my
beautiful and previously near-mint '89 745.  The thief hit just the
smaller, fixed portion of the passenger-side rear window only.
Thankfully there was no damage to the padded window sill or seat

My girlfriend has an automatic '93 Volvo 850 GLT that shudders and
stalls when it's wet; both when it's actually raining and even if
it's just misty.  The car always starts fine, even in heavy rain, but
after driving a couple minutes it stalls.

Our beloved Volvo got squished, and the SO has been shopping for a new
ride while I recover from the bumper car incident.  I'm not terribly impressed
with the crash tests of the S60 and am curious about the Ford 500.  Some
where I think I read it is built on the same platform as the ...

1996 850 Sedan.
My ABS light has come on. It initially was not an issue with me.
I park my vehicle in the HEAT, start my vehicle in the heat,
Indicators and Speedomoter do not work.
