In the past six weeks I've rebuilt the transmission,replaced the air pump (used), heater core/ hoses and a wheel bearing on my newly acquired '98 AWD V 70 (94K). Two things remain to keep me vexed; the check engine light comes on every fifty miles or so and the codes suggests a large vacume leak. Gas Cap O ring failure, maybe? And just today the two little orange lights on the a/c switch and the air recirculation switch began to flash in unison upon starting!!! Manual says failure in ECC unit bring to Volvo tech. No way. Question...does the apparent fault in the ECC unit really mean anything, I mean the heater still works and the fan , of course blows, will the a/c be adversly affected this summer? Manual control all year round is fine by me.
As to the Check Engine Light I suspect I'll keep looking for a cracked vacume line or something...
Good thing I got the car for peanuts cause I've dropped $4500 on it sorting things out since Thanksgiving.
