Hello there Volvo fans! I just purchased an older (1998) V70R wagon that has been taken pretty good care of. my check engine error is from the evap emissions. I am going to buy a new volvo gas cap and maybe the rubber flange at the base of the gas cap. A crack or gap in either of these may be causing the check engine light. Do any of you guys have experience with this? I would like some pointers before i just start swapping parts. I look forward to hearing from you ..read more

Looking for a brake booster check valve and possibly a whole booster. Most of the time the brakes work just fine, but a couple of times each trip when I apply the brakes the pedal is very high and very hard, with no apparent braking effect. I then must pump and/or press harder to get the brakes to resume normal operation. I'm guessing the problem must be one of 3 possible components - the check valve, the position sensor, or the booster itself. I don't want to replace all 3 and...
