each time i want to play the car sterio of 1997 VOLVO S70 GLT It will ask of code. It will ask of a code.How do i put this code. the serial number is VO8170 V9179463B. You need to go to your Volvo dealership and they will do it for free. If you call them they will give you a code and tell you to keep your radio on for two hours than put that code in there but that does not work it is better to just go to the dealership they will do it for free and than they will give you the code in case it happens again.
You did not specify year, so we'll have to be general. Volvo S-70 headlight bulb replacement: Purchase the correct replacement bulb(s) first, before disassembling the vehicle. See sources and related links below for replacement bulb information. Then consult your owner's manual for the replacement procedure. As simple as it sounds, the owner's manual is the best place to start for bulb replacement instructions and illustrations. You may want to consider replacing both left and right at the same time in order to keep brightness and color equal (optional).
" Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1)
symptoms
Hard starts
poor idle
stalling
cause
wrong camshaft timing
Wiring issues (harness/wiring) in intake timing control valve control solenoid system
Steady oil flow to VCT piston chamber
Faulty timing valve control solenoid (stuck open)
The fix
Replace the VCT unit or one of its components
If you don't want to have a Volvo shop scan the code then resetting it by disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes to clear it probably won't help.
Volvo brake control modules have a common problem caused by heat which weakens the solder connections on the circuit board. You have a few options.
Remove the module and have it rebuilt.
Replace it with a new module.
Rebuild it yourself. If you know how to use a soldering iron, Google the repair for 1998 s70 brake ecm repair and you should be able to find it fairly easy.
The brake ecm can cause problems with the instruments, traction control, transmission shifting, your speedometer may stop while you are moving, you may have to manually shift down an automatic transmission to be able to take off and so forth.
I have a S70 TDI.
Take off the engine hood. This the large black hood that hides the engine bits. It's held on by 4 bolts at each corner.
On your left hand side follow the black thick hose pipe from the radiator to the engine. At the point where it goes into the engine there will be a sensor just above.

To reset your service light here are the steps.
1. Get in your car and shut the door.
2. Put your key in the ignition
3. Turn your ignition key to position 1
4. Push in your Odometer reset button and hold it in while holding it move the ignition key to position 2 while holding down the odometer reset button.
5. After couple of seconds of holding the button down and the key in position 2 your service light will start to blink once that happens let go of the reset button and start the car.
This should reset your service light and a service light on your Volvo C/S/V70 cars from 1999 onwards.
It means that one or more of your tail lights (daytime running lights) has failed or is near failure. There should be two of these bulbs on each side of the car, stacked one on top of the other. Consult your owner's manual on the correct type of bulb to use. They usually come in 2-packs and do not vary widely in quality.
To replace the bulbs, open your trunk and ensure the car has been turned off for at least 5 minutes (some of the electronic components will continue running after you stop the engine). Inside the trunk, on the left and right sides, you should notice two round plastic parts that can be turned. Turn one of them, and pull that part of the trunk wall down to the floor.
At this point, you should be looking into the compartment behind the tail light assembly. Notice there are 2 sets of bulb sockets (upper and lower) being held into place by a clip. Pinch the clip on the lower set, and gently pull out the entire set of bulb sockets. Be careful not to stretch or tear the wires or break the connecter. The bulbs you need to replace are in the middle (the only ones stacked vertically, close together). See which bulbs are burnt or have broken filaments. Replace that bulb AND the matching bulb on the opposite side of the car.
If you don't replace the matching bulb on the opposite side, the car may continue to detect a voltage difference between the bulbs and continue to give you the "Bulb Failure-Position Light" message.
Please note: Since all four running-lights get used equally, the other set may also need replacement soon.
If "driver side" refers to inside the passenger compartment it is the heater core (assuming water means coolant)
check your wether stripping on it make sure you windows are up all the way as well 2places to start
The IAC on the S70 is located underneath the plastic throttle body cover. One T25 torx screw hold the cover in place. Simply remove that and you can see the Idle Air Control Valve

The rear half(rear ashtray) of the console has to be removed first. Then take the 4 Phillips screw holding the shifter cover out. Lift the cover towards the shift knob, you don't have to takeit all the way off. The bulb is in the small tray next to the shifter shaft. daner@copper.net
Things were slightly different in my 2000 S70 which has a center armrest with cup holders. First pry loose the cover for the handbrake and then pull the cover off the handbrake handle. The entire center housing is held in place by two 8mm bolts. These bolts are hidden under a removable panel located inside the storage box under the center armrest. When you open the armrest box you will see a small tab at the bottom toward the front. The access panel can be removed by placing a screwdriver in the tab and prying gently. The two bolts are under this panel. Once the bolts are removed the entire center console can be lifted up. It is not necessary to completely remove it. The bulb is located on the driver's side of the shift lever in a white plastic housing. science@Joyner.ws
Well you are in luck - Does not use Transmission Filter.
This is a tough one as it could be a number of things related to either fuel delivery, (ie bad pump) or ignition related issues. In my case, my '98 S70 started to intermittenly stall while driving. Sometimes it would restart, other times it would not. After weeks of trying to diagnose, I had my mechanic make a 'road call' the last time it stalled & would not restart. Turned out to be the ignition module which he replaced & car is running great now
IT IS AN ANTI THEFT RADIO ! YOU MUST RESET THE CODE (usually 4 numbers ) IF IT NOT IN YOUR OWNER MANUAL YOU WILL HAVE TO CALL DEALER W/ VIN # TO GET IT !! KM Any time power is taken from radio it must be reset >>>>

If the lamp glows continuously when the engine is running, there is only about 1/2 - 1 US qt. remaining in the washer fluid reservoir.
5 Low fuel level
When the lamp glows, only about 1.8 US gals. (8 liters) of fuel remain. If the ignition is switched on while refueling, the gauge may read inaccurately for up to 45 minutes.

If you're just having the timing belt replaced, it'll cost you about $700. The exact amount depends on your mechanic, of course. However, you should also investigate having other parts associated with the timing belt replaced. This is because Volvo engines (after 1995, I think) use what is called an "interference design." That is, if the timing belt stops (either by breaking or other event) the cam shaft will stop and the valves will be struck by the pistons (this is what they mean by "interference"). The engine is then pretty much gone. You'll need to (1) get a new engine, (2) get your old engine rebuilt, or (3) sell your car. What other parts should be investigated you ask. Well, the pulleys and tensioners (with their bearings) for the timing belt, as a starter, and anything else that runs off the timing belt. Some dealers go so far as to replace the water pump, too. The bill for a major service of this type can run as much as $2000. I've never had a belt go bad, but I have had pulley bearings go. Once I heard the noise and had it checked in time. Once I didn't. The latter cost me a new engine, to the tune of about $5000. (Makes a $2000 investment look pretty good!)
On top of the radiator under a black plastic shield.
I had the same problem on my s70 and the shop wanted $1000.00 dollars I did not have. follow the link below and there will be photos and explanation on doing the change yourself. Get a good nights sleep, Start early in the morning, make sure you have all the tools readily available and keep all christians and minor children away from the immediate area. http://volvospeed.com/Repair/Radiator850turbo.php
Usually because the car is burning too much fuel, or running rich. It can be caused by o2 sensors, throttle module problems, as well as other things. What i would do is to disconnect the battery for 5 minutes to clear the driving parameters. Then see if the problem goes away. I had a bad battery cause my parameters to get fudged up and after i replaced the battery the problem persisted.
The dealer told me bad o2 sensors but after i took it home and reset the batter for 5 minutes it was fine and never had the problem again.
