    Volvo L70 Exhaust Leak

    It's looking like the head gasket has blown at the back. It's not emulsified the oil and the water isn't contaminated either. Does anyone if this is likely, ie. the just the exhaust gas blowing out with no other problems. It's not missing or anything, running fine apart from the exhaust blow...

    Volvo L70 Exhaust Leak

    Hi all, I previously posted about thread sizes for the exhaust manifold as I was missing a couple of bolts and thought that was where my exhaust leak was coming from. I've since discovered its not the manifold leaking but some where else around the back of the head (it's hard to see). I think...

    Volvo Michigan L70 Exhaust Manifold Thread Size

    Hi all I’m missing a couple of exhaust manifold bolts. An M10 starts by hand and but it doesn’t feel right. I think they’re a 3/8 UNF, can anyone confirm? Thanks

    Volvo L70 Starter

    Next job to brave fitting a front crank seal. Hopefully it’ll pop out and I won’t have to take the casing off.

    Volvo L70 Starter

    Many thanks FunWithDiesel. I’ve swapped plugs on ECU and bypassed the R2 relay. Wired starter directly to ignition. I will look at insulation on relay housing and see if that’s where the fault lies. But at least now it’s running.

    Early volvo L70 tranny issue

    Many thanks FunWithDiesel and VolvoMad. I’ve swapped plugs on ECU and bypassed the R2 relay. Wired starter directly to ignition. I will look at insulation on relay housing Monday. But at least now it’s running. Only downside is potentially it can be started if gear shuttle on F or R. Would...

    Early volvo L70 tranny issue

    Hi guys, did this get sorted? I have an early L70 and it won’t start. No signal to starter solenoid although live leaving the ignition barrel. Shorted starter and got running but no gears. Not sure what’s happened but the ecu glass fuse has blown and keeps blowing. I guess the gearbox / ecu...

    Volvo L70 Starter

    I'm lost. I've got an ignition live so my weigh loader works. I can directly wire the starter solenoid so I can start her. Does anyone know if I can put a direct live to the gearbox to get the gears working?

    Volvo L70 Starter

    OK, so I've gone through all wiring, the battery terminals, master switch, ground to chasis and the chasis to engine (the ground is on the starter motor). These all are OK. Starter motor is defiantely OK, I've bridged it out and got it running, but still have no power to gear shuttle so it...

    Volvo L70 Starter

    Have gone through this and all relays seem ok. Hoping the ground cable is damaged, but that still wouldn’t explain the lack of voltage at the solenoid when cranking. I have found another solenoid on the left hand side near the engine but it has wiring to inlet manifold so I think it’s to do with...

    Volvo L70 Starter

    Hi guys, thanks for your replies. Manufacturer number 7324, serial 33111. I tried starting it earlier to lift arms by shorting to solenoid but it wouldn’t go, it’s just clicking. It wasn’t doing that earlier. I’m going to bench test again tomorrow but might have to send starter away to have it...

    Volvo L70 Starter

    Thanks Delmer. Yes it has power at the key switch, and power goes to the starting wire but it does not go to the solenoid so somewhere inbetweeen theres a problem. I'm not sure if these have another solenoid somewhere. I'll try and find a wiring diagram somewhere...

    Volvo L70 Starter

    Hi all My old L70 (Volvo / Michigan) won't start. It was fine yesterday when I parked her up, but this morning, it wouldn't turn over. Both batteries OK so I tried jumping from the power lead on the starter to the solenoid but still nothing. Assumed starter motor failed. Took the starter...

    1990 Volvo L70 rear axle creaking.

    Thanks very much everyone. I'm intending on keeping this machine as a spare as there's lots of little bits that need doing. Tomorrow I'm going to try (fingers crossed) and get an angle drill through the nipple hole and go through the bush to make a new channel through. That might work for now...
