Important / Helpful Information - How To "DIY" Repairs
In an attempt to clean up the sticky situation in the S70 section I have decided to start this thread which will be similar to the 850 DIY sticky thread.
The first thing that every S70 owner should know is that their car is simply an improved version of the '94+ 850. Therefore, you can use a lot of the 850 instructions to take care of most things on your car. This goes for '98 - '00 V70's.
If you are a new owner and/or want to know how to care for your car, READ THIS THREAD ASAP: https://volvoforums.com/forum/volvo-...s-s-v70s-9266/
