Temperature acting weird S70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be JR on  Wed Jan 7 12:34 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I had the same problem recently. Changed the thermostat and ECT sensor. You can get the parts for $12 and roughly $60 online, or add 20-30% from the dealer.
If you don't need to replace the coolant just clamp off the upper hose, screw off the housing and careful not to drop the screws down there. (If not doing yourself, caution your mechanic). Lift it straight up with screws in then remove. Ect sensor unscrews and plugs right in. Took me 10-15 min. Also make sure the thermo goes in bleeder valve facing fwd!!
I followed the descriptin on volvospeed.

Cheers
