c70 Purchase advice needed C70

posted by  someone claiming to be jeffery47 on  Thu Oct 30 07:19 CST 2008 [RELATED]

I have a 98 C70 T5M Coupe and it has been a good car. I would check the power window operation - the regulators (made by Siemens I think) aren't very good. Had to have the driver's side replaced. Passenger works fine, though I don't use them much, just keep the AC on.

I also don't trust the 3disk CD changer - I hooked up Sirius using the Blitzsafe CD input jack, works great!! I have the Dolby stereo.

I would change the rad hoses, timing belt, water pump, serp belt, and check the plugs - I still have a coil and distributor cap, 2000 may have individual coils.

I also disconnected the headlight wipers - more trouble than their worth, but I left them on for appearance sake.

Otherwise I like it - you may want to look into ECU upgrades from IPD, etc.
