i have a 98 volvo s70 and i need a new speedometer,
i found one but its a 99 and im not sure if it'll work for my car.
I notice that where the fuses are for the 98 its these cirlce things on the 99.
Please help

 

is yours with a trip computer info? if is see if the other one has one if not everything else will work except that info

 

yeah it does have the trip computer, but my other question is will a light or warning come up if i change the speedometers because i know some cars do ?


thanks again

 

From what i know from 1998-2000 are interchangable. so is like plug and play, no lights should come on. Mine is a base v70 from 1998 and i purchased fog lights, switches for front fog lights and for the trip info from a 2000xc found at the junk yard and the relay for the fog lights from a 850 dont know the year found at the junk yard too. Everything was plug and play. The dash bord cluster with trip computer info i found some info to a store and asked them if it match my car and they told me cause it work except the trip info if i dont have the switch. so now i will go back to the junk yard and take that cluster and put it in. If you can wait few days i can be 100% sure about all this.

 

I have heard that 98 is different from 99-00. You can tell which ones are later production easily: The 99-00 say "MAX" on the fuel gauge instead of "18" on the 98's.

I saw this on another volvo forum as well "You'll have either 18 or MAX as the "full" indication depending on whether you have a Motronic 4.3 (pre-'99) or CAN ('99-'00) cluster."

That said, its possible that a 98 may fit in a 99 or a 99 may fit in a 98 but will everything work correctly, probably not.

 

are the miles going to stay the same if i change the speedo?
if they are im trying to stay as close to my real mileage as possible
