I have a '99 S80 T6 with approx 140,000 miles. This morning the "Check
Engine" light went on and the message window started displaying the
"Emission System Service Required" message (it's not the gas cap). Here are
the current symptoms:

I have an '02 S60 AWD with 31K miles. About 8 months ago it started
to make a moaning sound (almost like what you hear in recordings of
whale calls) whenever I made a hard left turn over 15mph. I mentioned
it to my mechanic who said that it was the tire rubbing in against the

We've recently acquired a year 2000 C70 T5. It was running low on oil last
week so it's been in to the dealers to check for a leak. Nothing was
found and the report says the car can use a litre of oil per 1000 miles.
Is this true/normal as we've never experienced this with a car ...

is the power steering pulley on a 01 S60 removable? it appears to just
be pressed on, but it wont come off.

Just bought a 2001 V70, very happy with it and it runs beautifully but,
not being used to new or newish cars I don't know how urgent warning
lights are.  The emission system service light has come on and is on
all the time.  Do I need to get this sorted asap?  Also, will I have to

I have a 94 850 non-turbo.  I'm getting the following codes and need help
interpreting them:
A6    Ignition:                 1-1-1   1-2-2  and  2-3-1  (I thought 1-1-1
meant OK, but then the other 2 codes came up)

Hello again to all:
I posted here a few weeks back with questions on the Odometer and the Overdrive on
an 1989 249 DL.
Both suggestions were correct, the relay had a cracked solder joint on the

Out of nowhere, the blower motor on '92 240 has stopped working.
Neither speed switch nor AC toggle (usually automatically turns on to
low speed) will activate fan.  Fuses 3 and 12 appear intact.  ALLDATA
mentions a blower motor relay, but nothing as to location. Only related

My wife's 1993 240 has had some trouble with the overdrive light coming
on.  I took it out and resoldered the connections on the circuit board
that looked possibly cracked and for a few weeks it was fine.  It has
just resumed this behavior again today.

Sometimes engine won't rotate. Had this problem not long ago on my
Mercedes, and replacing the starter lock-out switch fixed it. Of
course its on the tranny, but where? And is it replaceable without
dropping the tranny? Like if I jack up one side or the other in the

Last week I had to replace the front struts on my 1992 240. Also, the left
ball joint was worn and replaced.
It rides so much better.
The car has 236,000 miles on it.

Considering buying a 2001 S40 (auto) with 70,000 km. I haven't had a
Volvo since 1977 so I am out of touch. Does anyone have a list of
problems or things to watch out for with these cars?
I looked through the group but didn't find anything major.

Have had to replace both front axles in the past four months, Boots were
torn open. Started to get clunking noise on the right one. 95 850 turbo
wagon with 115,000. Is this kind of early for this problem? Replaced them
with remanufactured. $165 vs $325.

If the car has been sitting for a couple of days, upon start-up it will
release a puff of white smoke.  Just a puff - the more days it was sitting
inactive, the bigger the puff.  This is 98 turbo . . . I've googled, seems
like some people think this is just an extra lean start by ...
