Thanks! New 98 V70 owner
 

Hello all,

I just bought a 98 V 70 about 6 hours ago. I am glad to have found this forum since I did a couple hours of searching last night and had some better ideas of what the issues were going to involve to fix. Thanks guys!

I have not owned a Volvo before, but they have been on my list. I have had some great cars in the past, BMW's, Mercedes, MGB's, DIESEL Ford trucks, etc. I have found that the best cars tend to have the best owners forums and am glad to see that Volvo is no exception.

FWIW, I have pulled wrenches on my own cars since I learned to drive (well before I guess). Every car has it's issues and it is always GREAT to have help from those who have gone before. I hope I can contribute as I get some more experience with the car.

OBTW, can anyone here tell me anything about my car by VIN? My dealer thought it was AWD, but a quick look under the rear cleared that up. I have no owners manual or service history so any help there would be great too!

I will put the rest of my post in the tech forum... I got a great price, but have some work to do!
