Munsters Saffron S70R...from munter to MINTER!

You will have to use your own ecu for mapping the 70'r they are the only cars in the 70 range with one lambda all the others have 2.

eh? thought they had two - mine has so I would guess that the manual verson has a front and rear 02 sensor...?

Sorry mate what car do you have?

I meant my S70 T5 auto

Yours will have 2 the r's only have a pre cat lambda

oh cheers Jim, I didn't realise...more new knowledge gained, busy day today!

The 854 R saloon spolier has got to be one the best mods you could do to the looks on an s70 should of come from Volvo with one fitted as standard!! My R has 2 lambda sensors, when I changed to a larger downpipe which only came with one sensor hole I had the ECU sent away to have it deleted off, so the car now runs with one.

Very very nice car that you've got yourself, again as said in above post nice to see another saffy being loved!! I'll have to take the dust off mine and we'll all have arrange a photo shot at some point.

Thanks Jim, means a lot coming from you. I would jump at the chance to get together for a photo shoot, although I would feel very, very inferior as mine has a long way to go to get it anywhere near the standard of yours.

It was pointed out by big Petey that I only had one lambda sensor when we were under it on sunday

Like what the guys where saying earlier on it takes time to sort it all out to get as nice as you want it, you've certainly got yourself a good one as a starting platform so your already over half way there. I've spent 6 years on mine and I'm still not finished with it, it's got plenty of things left to do trust me.

Quick update on the munter, went out last night after leaving the car on the drive for about 2 hours. My nice new pink anti freeze had made a break for freedom and was legging it down my drive :-(
It was very dark but with the aid of a torch I saw the expansion tank was almost empty and the drip was somewhere in the vicinity of the middle of the undertray. Whipped undertray off and could see that it was coming from somewhere on the off side radiator end cap. Bloody car is so low I couldn't get my trolley jack under and as it was dark and I was getting scared I went in.
After work today I put the car onto axle stands and topped the expansion tank up. Ran the car for 15 mins until the car had cut the fan in a few times....no leaks at all??? Turned it off and put some cardboard under the car and within 5 mins a small drop was forming at the bottom of the radiator end cap. Thinking of putting some Rad seal through it or such like tomorrow as it only seems a slight leak. If that fails it will get a new rad fitted.
Welcome to S70R ownership, she's already spat the dummy out lol

Bad times but see it as only a minor set back!! To save any future problems might be worth going straight for a replacement rad.

I have a spare 4.4 for a single lamda if you want to keep your standard one, was going to flog it to Hamish but if you want let me know

That's weird???

Maybe they changed the design over the different year models perhaps, Early and late S70R's

My C70 only has one lambda.

Already ordered big boy, the path from munter to minter is getting longer lol

Pm me a price Jimbo, but be nice cos Ive just bought a radiator and will have to feed the big lad when we fit it...expensive times :-)
