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

It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. 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. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.

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 pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.

Is it okay to 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.

Why did my C70 engine suddenly stop?

Reasons your C70 car engine may suddenly stop include engine overheating, electrical troubles, mechanical issues, ignition system problems, faulty sensors, and low fuel.
