Top 20 2004 Volvo C70 Questions & Answers

You just blindly replaced these parts? Were there fault codes that prompted you to think these parts are a problem, bet not. Was the fuel pressure checked when the problem occurred?

the only thing i can think of is the vent for the fuel tank. this can sometimes give a code but if it fixes itself the code will remove its self but the engine light will stay on. it can also be an electrical fault if it does this when you turn on lights or heater blowers. this can sometime doe this aswell ecu reads a power drain, this can be down to 3 things battery alternator or a bad earth. hope this helps.

It has to b running in park to put fluid into it

try new battery

Has this happened before? Is the steering wheel locked? In which case, you will have to gently tug on the wheel towards the left as you turn the key the rest of the way. Or, is the key physically jammed? In this case, some WD-40 should free the key enough to pull it out. Also, the gear shift must be in park and the interlock fully disengaged (make sure the little button on the shifter is all the way out). As you can see, the key may be stuck for a myriad reasons. If none of these work, it still might be something else. Try these and report back.

As a general rule, you don't. However, if the inside handle is broken, sometimes you can reach up from under the front end of the vehicle and find the cable that leads to the release. IF you are lucky enough, you can pull on that cable and sometimes the hood (bonnet) will pop open.

go to autozone and get a free read on this so you can correct the problem and or sensor

HelloThe engine and automatic transmission in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM and TCM (Power Train Control Module, Transmission Control Module). When a problem like this or other drive-ability related problems occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM In addition have a fuel pump pressure leakdown test run.

Thats interesting.Did you fail to plug a connector back in somewhere ?Is the air filter cover sealed with no air leaks ?

That usually happens when the ignition switch goes bad. Will have to replace.

I would take it back to the dealer and have them jack it up and ck. the tires. You might have a defective tire separated or mounted improperly.

go to a torrent site or torrent cloud and look for a torrent called radio codes decrypter ,you will find the volvo decoder in this package

Though that information is correct, that the computer may not give sufficient info back to use, the problem would have be "captured" live. Some times we have to rely on experience to guide us in the proper direction. What you described though sounds like there may have been a glitch with the alarm/security system and doubt you have anything to worry about but can understand how this would worry you. Keep an eye on it and if it does it again, get it towed to the nearest Volvo dealer immediately so they can capture any faults that may have arrisen. Let me know if you need anything else.

When was last healthy tune up, including fuel filter replacement and a good fuel system cleaning? I would start there especially considering fluctuating temps and quality of fuels these days.

sounds like a broken wafer inside the ignition -- or it could be a bad spring(?) -- try and spray a SMALL amout of silicone/teflon based lubrication down into the lock ( along side the key ) and wiggle it back and forth and up and down -- this may release the key,,, if not - then the ignition will need to be replaced/rebuilt by a automotive locksmith.

I have had the same problem for about 18 months, the only way i have found to get it started is to go back to basics, disconnect the battery then reconnect, lock and unlock the door 2 or 3 times using the key. mine always start up after doing this. just like rebooting a computor, that's what runs your car is it not?. do'nt ask me why it works but it dose. by the way mine is a '55 reg should be the same kit as yours. good luck, let us all know if it works for you please.
Regards BLYO !

The car computer keeps track of the number of kms/miles that was done since the last service when this light and counter was reset: according to the car computer mileage log, the car is now due for its next 'regular' service: take it to a garaged for its overdue service and they will reset the warning.

Hope it helps.

between 60 and 80 thousand ,after that you taking a isk....
