service interval light S70 1998

a big thankyou again to KlausC for troubleshooting my idle stumble...replaced the fuel filter(did it in the AM so minimal fuel pressure/loss), and that has cured the problem..the stupid service interval light is on again(every 5k miles?), code reader won't clear it..don't wish to dismantle the dash just for a stupid light, but I'm loathe to have the dealer do it...anyway for a driveway mechanic to address this...

Until you start replacing bulbs in the instrument pod and pull the servic4e bulb, do like MIJ and myself. It is a warning to not engage the turbo when the engine is still cold :)
Or, get a piece of black electrical tape and cover it up :)

Please answer your responses. We need to know if the advice is good or bad. The 164 has a new home, all I am left with are 2 turbos :)

96-98 850 and 70 series car require either the Volvo scan tool,$$$$ or the dedicated service light reset tool. I think IPD sells one. Or next time you're in the dash for gague lighting you could pop out the bulb.

Maybe this will help? It's supposed to be for a 1999-2000, but take a look anyway S70 1998

I saved these instructions, just in case I ever own this model. The guy says it's for a 1999-2000, which is a year off from your '98, but maybe it applies anyway (maybe he was wrong).


Volvo 1999-2000 - S / V / C70 Models:

* Press and Hold odometer reset button
* Turn ignition switch to "run" position
* After SRL flashes, release odometer reset button
* Turn ignition off
* Turn ignition back on to confirm reset


Hope this worked.

thanks for tryin' Ken, this is a no go on a '98. pressed the button, turned the key, but no flash...maybe volvo made a change in '99 because so many '98 owners complained about that idiotic light...
