Why does the check engine light in my C70 turn on when I start my car?

It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. It’s just your C70 firing up its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.

Why is my Volvo C70 making engine noise?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Volvo C70 engine. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

What could damage my Volvo C70 engine?

Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.

Can I put water in my Volvo C70 radiator?

An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your C70 when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.
