Only remove transmission torque mount to the subframe. Laying on your back with feet out to the front. Pan loosened, final 4 corner screws removed. Grab the pan, first tilt/lower the front and clear the subframe (the two mounting point for engine protective cover). Then lower and clear the flywheel ...

FWIW anecdotally, I've done this three times now on three separate V70/XC70 cars, each time with the $150ish FCP Euro kit (includes the rubber hose going into the top of the head, but not the larger hose assembly that apparently boosts the kit up over $400). I have never needed the larger, more comp...

When I cleaned that "vent chimney", I put a drill bit on a piece of rubber tubing so I could get the drill bit up far enough. I then would slowly hand twist the drill bit to collect the muck, bring it back down and clean it. I was amazed of how many times I had to put that drill bit up the...

Want to do a compression test tomorrow. Need to know which fuse or relay to remove so as to disable the fuel pump & ignition. This is on my 2004 S60 2.5T. Thanks. No need to pull fuses and relays. Even with the fuel pump cut off, the injectors will still spray fuel until the fuel pressure is pu...

depending on chassis number bolt part number 982757 covers to CH -92351 CH -170999 CH -47999, bolt part number 985022 covers from CH 92352- CH 48000- CH 171000- on for the bolt that secures the camshaft position sensor to the housing, and bolt part number 985133, and 996318 respectively cover the ho...

Volvo parts web store is the go to place for exploded diagrams and part numbers.

Skandix.de is an excellent site fir actual sizes of bolts, diameter and length. This is great for identifying “ leftovers”

Yeah, you swallowed a valve. Pull the harness off number 3 injector and you can still drive it for 3141.59 miles without problems , if you stay off the gas and drive at 45 mph

Save up the kroner for a head job, about $400-500 all in

... So, I've been driving with my coil pack harness disconnected... this perhaps means my injector is still spraying fluid, huh? I did it like this because when I removed the injector harness, the OBD reader gave me a very weird code insinuating I lost power to cylinder 2 as well. Couple this with ...

At 100 PSI maybe, but at 0 PSI #3 isn't doing anything. Especially given that the #3 coil was unplugged. It's hard ((for me!) to explain the behavior when unplugging #3 injector, but there's no residual power hiding in #3. People have driven P80 cars for months with a burnt valve and one injector un...
