The voltage regulator in a Volvo alternator has been built into the alternator since the 70's. To replace it, you would have to remove the alternator and disassemble it. Then the regulator can be accessed. It is probably soldered in, so you will need a good soldering gun and the ability to de-solder and solder. It would be quicker and easier to replace the alternator assembly with a remanufactured unit. massvolvoman

well with a plastic spatula remove speaker cover then remove door handle plastic then remove one screw then pull gently it have 6 or more clips if broke you have to buy them ....

The brake pads in a Volvo s40 can be changed by safely raising and propping the vehicle up. Removing the wheels and caliper. Slide the brake pads from the caliper. Before installing new pads spray brake cleaner. Install new pads.

Pull the wheels off, take off the six small bolts on the hub assembly, remove the large bolt holding the hub assembly on, remove the caliper, pull the hub assembly off and the rotor will then be free.

you don't volvo 850 transaxles do not have a filter for the transmissions they are AW50-42le trans axles the best you can do is a fluid flush

Remove the alternator wiring harness. Loosen the tensioner pulley. Remove the alternator belt. Remove the alternator retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install the new alternator.

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.

You will first need to go into your settings. From there you can choose the language that you would like your display to be in.

Usually the only way to reset the airbag light on a Volvo vehicle is to take the vehicle to a dealership and have them reset. It might cost some money but it shouldn't be too expensive.

i have a answer as this happened to me after changing the alternator on my volvo v70 after trying two different code readers and other ways .I endup buying a laptop with windows xp pro with service pack 3 and with 3gig ram also internet explorer 8

and then sending for a vida dice loaded the disc conneted it to the laptop and the car via the obd connecter and bobs your uncle no fault with air bag so a simple reset or go to the dealer thats the only way to get the srs light off

Check which bulb needs replacing then turn the lights off.

Open the rear hatch and remove the upholstered trim panel from behind the light cluster.

On a UK car looking into the luggage compartment the left hand side trim panel gives access to the rear lights and to a fuse box. The right hand side is smaller and provides access to the rear lights only. These panels give access to the lower three lights in the cluster.

To change either of the upper two lights

remove the speaker grille

remove the speaker by pulling out the red tab then by presssing on the black pin above this tab twist out the speaker.

To change the lower lights remove the cover panel as described above. You will see a sound deadening panel. Note how it fits and pull it out.

Get a replcement bulb ready. Counting from the top the bulbs are as follows:

1: Direction indicator 21W BAU15s (yellow)

2: Brake light 21W BA15s

3: Parking lamp 5W BA15s

4: Parking & rear fog 21/4W BA5s

5: Reversing lamp 21W BA15s

Remove shoes and climb into the boot.

If you are doing this for the first time look first at the left hand side to see how the bulbs are fitted.

The bulbs are held in long holders and the tabs on the holders protrude through holes in the metalwork. They point to 2 o clock. Take hold of the holder tab and turn it to 12 o clock. Careful it will spring out - dont drop it!

Keeping it the same way up look to see which way up it goes back.

Take the old bulb out of the holder and insert the new one. Its a bayonet fitting.

Reinsert the holder in the 12 o clock position and twist it to 2 o clock (it will stop turning)

Check its firmly in place, and test the light. If ok you can put your shoes back on!

Replace all trim panels etc.

JOB DONE

i recommend if you repl.the timing belt to repl. the idler & tension pully including the thermostat housing & bleeder hose, plus the front & rear cam seals.

in case of the thermostat housing, if there is a bleeder hose coming from the Thermostat housing to the expansion tank by removing this hose the plastic nipple

on the housing will brake & the housing need replaced.

to the question of special tools the answer is yes.

you need camshaft locking tools to hold the camshafts in place to remove the sprocket

& cvvt unit.

don't try it whit out this tools.

knock the back of the wheel rim, sometimes they can bond to the hub if the has not been removed for a while

Check the Bosch instructions online for their P3857 filter. The post 2001 V70 cabin air filter (sometimes called a "pollen air filter") is accessed by removing a trim piece below the glove box.

The answer for this question can be found here: http://www.2carpros.com/forum/1998-volvo-v70--center-console-vt162248.html

You must change the oil and filter. ASAP.

low oil pressure caused by sludge, mine was found in the Oil Filter, else

oil filter is clogged. Oil may be dirty , even at 3000 miles since last change.

I changed mine and the warnings have been off for a week.

Did not understand the warning, so towed the car home.

change the oil and filter , its much cheaper than a tow home.

so far so good.

I just disconnect the battery terminal for a few minutes and then connect it again and the Lambda light goes off.

1 Turn signal, left

2 Turn signal , right

3 (Not in use)

4 Low washer fluid level

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.

6 Rear fog light

7 High beams

8 Trunk/tailgate open

13 Generator not charging

14 Low engine oil pressure

15 Brake warning light

16 Parking brake applied

17 ABS-system

18 Transmission mode "W", or gear positions 3 or L engaged (automatic transmissions)

19 Low coolant level

20 Traction Control System (option)

21 Malfunction indicator lamp

22 Service reminder indicator Also see Below: There is a picture of the dash that is labeled with these numbers. http://apps.volvocars.us/ownersdocs/1998/1998_SV70/98sv70_019.htm

Trouble code P0722 means: Transmission Speed Signal Missing Trouble code P1550 means: ABS Wheel Speed Sensor Malfunction (Left Or Right Front)

That's the OD warning light,

Check wiring, relay, Solenoid, and switch

My shop manual indicates a special scan tool is used to read the fault codes. If the light is on it is indicating a fault somewhere in the system. This or these faults will need to be corrected for the lamp to go out. The same holds true at start up. If you have no light at start up for a few seconds, this also indicates a fault in the system. Try a Mitsubishi dealer if you have no luck with Chrysler. Summit wagons are re-badged Expo LRV's.
