Trip computer giving wrong reading on miles left to empty S70

posted by  someone claiming to be veso on  Thu Apr 22 17:15 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Hi everyone, i have a 2000 s70. The other day i filled the tank all the way up, 17.5 gallons. When i started the car, the miles to empty display ready 370 miles. I know this cannot be correct b/c once i filled the tank a little past half way and got a reading of 410, and i did actually drive around 400 miles on that tank. Now, it is halfway full and the reading shows 235 miles, which also seams incorrect. Also if it matters any, my temreture display read 104F last night, when it was low 70's, it adjusted to about 79 in a fewminutes but was still off a little. If anyone knows if this is a common problem or if i can fix it plase let me know, or if i have to just take it to the dealer.
Thanks,V eso
