Cure for S/V70 (98-00) extreme dash noise?

Dec 22, 2003 1 Replies

A couple of months ago there was a thread on the awful 'bang' that comes from the passenger's side part of the dash (near the windshield and "A" pillar). Apparently it's been a problem with more than a few of the 1998 - 2000 70 series cars.



The weather is colder, and the 'Pop' or 'Bang' is almost a safety hazard (sounds like a firecracker going off).



Has anybody found a cure?



My dealer said "we can take the dash apart and look around' -- not my cup of tea at $70 per hour!


Thanks

Start by looking at the 4 screws that hold the upper dash to the firewall. The heads are located under the plastic cowl where the cabin filter lives. Obviously, you'll only need to check out the ones on the passenger side.
