Thats the owner manual

HI. This is not an electrical issue. This is mechanical. The actual power steering gear is malfunctioning, the necessary actions are to have the entire power steering assembly replaced, asap. NOTE_ Kindly inspect for leakages within the hose assembly. Normally, when this occurs, it will indicate seal issues within the pump, or hose connections. I don't understand why your local mechanic is assuming electronic failure at this time. This is certainty a mechanical issue here. Check the fluid level, as well. Low fluid levels can produce the symptoms you are experiencing.

Turn off your radio. If not responding, unplug one terminal on your battery, put it back, try turning on yor radio and eject cd.

You have problem somewhere which needs to be fixed. Could be mice eating your wiring or some other short-circuiting fault.

Better to take it to the service and let a couple of professionals to look at it.

We had the same problem on ur 2004 v50. dealer said we need to replace the SCU (ignition switch) $600!!
Any thoughts on how we can get volvo to pony up?

2006?? sorry most likely this is the same software as europeon models and if it is then its encrypted to make work for dealers only.Keep the key away from mobile phones and computer /tv screens ,this will affect the readability of the chipped key

Yes, When you run an engine low on oil enough to cause the light to come on then damage is being done. It sounds like you caught it just in time. I would change the oil and filter for shure as soon as possible. Then I would Change them again In a week or two. Then you should be OK.

Dear Katherine,

I'm in the belief that you don't have the Owner's Manual. That being said, the link below is for the S70, which has the same clock as you have, yet I'm giving you this link for it's the entire Owner's Manual and that way you'll have an Owner's Manual at your fingertips. http://apps.volvocars.us/ownersdocs/1998/1998_SV70/98sv70_000.htm

you probly cracked your heater core with the jolt

it should take about 3 hrs to replace the bell intercooler

you can download the owners manual for your volvo at google through adobe reader or at fixya

You don't say how old your car is so I can't comment on warranty, but is sounsd like either the acsess 'gromet' for the rear suspension has popped out, thats an easy fix, just buy a new one and pop it it, or the floor 'gromet' is loose. Can I make a stupid suggestion, get someone to sit tn the rear passenger seat and take it trough a car wash to see if there is any water coming in! It sounds like a quick fix though. Best wishes Dave

Should be a sticker somewhere under the hood.

remove gas cap to release pressure. Then buy the cheap plastic removal tool that slips on the line and inside the filter to remove it from the fuel lines.

hold trip button in then turn key to on pos til light flashes
