Seven problems related to fuel delivery have been reported for the 1999 Volvo V70. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I own a 1999 Volvo V70 xc. On October 27, 2005, while I was driving the vehicle it suddenly and without warning began to stall. I pressed the accelerator to the floor to no avail. I was able to coast out of traffic. I turned the engine off, waited a few minutes, started the vehicle and drove home. Although it appeared to drive a little better, it continued to jerk and sputter.
Engine idling improperly, read about electronic throttle failures throttle failed, replacement required.
On Aug. 13, 2005, my wife was driving on a public road in san francisco approx. 35 mph when her 1999 Volvo V70 (approx. 72,500 miles on the odometer) stalled. I called putnam Volvo in burlingame the following Tuesday, and made a service appointment for Thursday, Aug. 18. That Thursday morning, when I started the car, it began to idle roughly, surging from approx. 800 rpm to 1500 rpm repeatedly. I shut the car down, then restarted it; the car then ran fairly normally. Putnam Volvo diagnosed the problem as a faulty throttle control module, and charged me $1225. 00 for the repair. It seems that many of these throttle control modules are failing prematurely.

Recurring problem (3 times at least now) with leaking fuel tank, strong smell and noticeable leaks on the r. H. S. Fuel tank (rear side) underneath. A few loose clamps on the hoses on the top of the tank found and fixed. Problem disappeared, but comes back with every re-fueling. Dealer suggested repairing it at theirs' at my expense as a general case, no recalls exist.
