Hi everyone,

I have a 2007 Volvo C70 that seems to have some problems. Back in May, I was driving on the highway when suddenly, smoke or steam (I can't remember) started coming from the hood and no matter how hard I stepped on the gas pedal, the vehicle would not accelerate. As a result, it ended up stopping and I had to put it in neutral and move it off to the side with the help of a police officer. Afterwards, I popped the hood open and saw that all the coolant I added in the night before was gone and when I tried to add more, all of it would disappear in a matter of minutes. What is also important is that the car's fan (I don't know which one) would continue to run even after I turned off the engine so I am guessing that the car overheated more than once. I was wondering if there was a fix to this problem or is the car completely gone? If someone can give me a response or general guidance in the following week, I would greatly appreciate it as I am going back to college in about 2 weeks and really need this car to be running again so I can continue to work at my job while juggling schoolwork. Thanks in advance!

 

It overheated. You have to find out where the coolant is going. If you have a blown head gasket or cracked head, it will be costly. Could also be a leak elsewhere.

Also, no need to post 4 times.

 

Could be oil cooler or expansion tank/cap
