CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON 98 V70 AWD R V70-XC70 1998

Hi gbpd103,

Something to try. My check engine light came on
about 3 weeks ago. A hunch told me to get a new gas cap
as I have a gut feeling that the seals on these caps
do not last forever causing a bad gas tank pressure.
I popped on the new gas cap
last thursday, went and got gas today and WahLah
the CEL went out when I started the car at the gas
station.

New gas cap at your local dealer is around $26.
From Brentwood Volvo [ St. Louis ] mail order $16. [ 800-844-9502 ]

Worth a try.

So, if anyone is getting a solid CEL you may want to try a new
gas cap.
