The earlier design just has the tread pattern going from the centre of the tyre to the outer edge.

Just had 4 of the new Goodyear F1 Eagle tyres fitted (assymetric 2), 225x45x17, superb, loads of grip and so quiet, had Toyos on previous, not to impressed with those.
Had the older Goodyear F1...

I have the HLM 304 remap on mine, so not sure if that had any effect, but the slight difference in the way the car performed in my opinion was not worth the drop in mpg.

My recent experience with the Turbo Control Valve on my S70R.

Have read a lot about these and always felt my beast lacked a little in the low revs area, so while on holiday in Florida had IPD...

Used a wire wheel after hacking off as much as possible with a hacksaw!

After some research, roll bar should have no preload when vehicle on its wheels, fitted replacement roll bar bush kit today from PFS, took about 2 hours in the workshop.
The car is now a different...

Probably Wobbly would know this, should there be any pre-load on the front anti rollbar 1998 S70R, had to lever it down to get drop links to line up.
So should that be there? and do you check this...

Going to have a think on this one, it is a rediculous amount of money for a single speaker, but like things to work if they are fitted.

Appears to be the only option so far, FRF quoting around £150, ouch, does it make that much of a difference?

Hi,
Anyone know if the speaker in the centre of the dash on my S70R is a Volvo only part? number on it is 9472028, or has anyone fitted an aftermarket item without modifying the dash/brackets.

Well at least I will know how quick it will be, should not have just kept the ECU of the old T5, should have kept the car, px it for a BMW 330i Sport Touring, cost me over 7K, cannot get on with it,...

So the 304 remap I had on the S70 T5 auto is the same map for the S70R Auto?

Just bought S70R Auto, 67000 mile, Saffron Gold, had an S70 T5 before this and had Hamish do the 304 Rica remap, most impressed with that, thinking of doing the same with the S70R.
Has anyone on...

Had mine done 5 years ago, no other mods other than air filter, have never had any problems, car goes like the wind and the upgrade improved fuel economy by around 10%, they did a couple of other...

Hi Steve,

Have replaced both front door switches, as read that somewhere as well, still the same, thanks anyway.

Regards John.

Hi Guys,

Anyone help with this, car is 1997 S70.

The internal locking from both front door switches has stopped working, the fuel flap opening and boot release opening has also stopped working...

The unit cost £104, mine had no airbags so made job easy to do, Haynes manual has picture where all screws are! simmmmple!

My S70 has always been poor on the remote central locking, you have to be almost touching the car for it to work. Replaced the remote key fob, made no difference.
The cause of the problem was the...

My S70 T5 auto used to return around 22mpg, with the Rica 304 averages 24-25mpg including having lots of fun!

I had exactly that same problem a few months ago, my service guy removed the wiring plugs and leads on the top of the engine, if you can see it, unplug it, gave them all a squirt with cleaner, put...

I have Goodyear F1 Eagles on my S70 and cannot believe there is anything better, exellent in the dry but they come into there own in the wet. Only thing I have noticed is that on some road surfaces,...

It is, removed mine when I first got my S70, I think its the same as yours, common fault on these, plenty of people do repairs now as well, the car will run fine without it, but obviously you will...

Mines due for a check in Jan 07, having read comments on here, it appears very expensive to have them serviced, so everyone seems to ignore it. Any one who works for Volvo on here could possibly give...

Had a similar experience down south when on vapours and BP was the only option. Have run the S70 on the Tesco 99 octane for some time now after running it only on Optimax after the Rica upgrade. On...

Its usually the ecu, Wobbly Dave can repair these or contact Volvo Tuning, I think he may do the repairs through them now, cost is around £100 mark I think.
