Volvo forum ???

Does anyone know of a good Volvo forum similar to this one ?

I have to troubleshoot my older daughters 1997 960 with a CEL issue .
The CEL came on after I topped her gas tank off but did not get the cap on correctly.... I guess I finally have to buy an OBD11 code reader, erase the code and see what happens next.

I know a lot about older Volvo's. But it seems that the censor on your Volvo should reset itself, try it again in the morning. If not you may have to get the air out of the injection system.

The CEL light was triggered because the gas cap was not screwed on properly.

Happened to my ex's 2004 Honda Accord, very same thing. She took it to a dealer in Miami just to find that out.

But to answer, the best one is the 960 RWD section of www.brickboard.com and also Swedespeed.

I love Volvos, and actually a brand new dark red 960 was back on my 1996 shopping list for my "special" car, but in the end I bought a 1991 560SEC instead.


We had a horrible fwd new 2001 Volvo C70 that was a lemon (Volvo finally bought it back) but great luck with one of these (a 1991), great little car, had it for years.

A formerly Volvo driving friend of mine claims brickboard is actually a 12-step program. He also claims there's no such thing as a Volvo driver, only driver/mechanics... Funny guy.
