My fuel pump relay in my XC70 was in the panel to the left of the steering wheel. Read the diagram on the rear of the panel, your fuses could be configured different from my car. If it's not there it's gonna be under your hood, you'll find it with swiftness. I doubt a fuel pump relay will be buried...

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...

There's a 24.56% difference between 160 and 125. If those readings were correctly taken, that indicates something wrong.
How does the car run?

This could be a silly inference, but perhaps you just haven't found the leak yet? Seems like a fair amount of oil to "burn" when your engine is puttering with gusto. Also, have you run an OBD scanner just for fun? Probably won't help diagnosing your oil consumption but could maybe throw a ...

My 2001 V70 2.4T uses about a quart every 1,200 miles or so. Plugs looked oil free after 50,000 miles and zero oil leaks and no smoke. My PCV was done about 4+ years ago and that didn't improve oil consumption. I just keep track of my mileage and add oil when necessary. Yours is worse than mine, but...

Stuff rags down the spark plug wells and spin the engine to push out the liquid before installing the spark plugs. Prevents Hydrolock.

Well I finally got that compression test done. I only did a dry test. The numbers were: #1=155 #2=135 #3=160 #4=135 #5=125. Number 5 seems a bit low. Plugs looked OK but they were NGK & I had the Volvo plugs on hand. Any thoughts on those numbers? Thanks. I'd be sure to focus on technique here ...

You can estimate the amount for each cylinder by pouring the whole bottle of Seafosm into two And a half cups, then using half of each for each cylinder.

Ok, that was quirky Swede sarcasm

You can estimate the amount for each cylinder by pouring the whole bottle of Seafosm into two And a half cups, then using half of each for each cylinder. You can swipe the Measuring cup from the kitchen or the Graduated Baster. The Graduated Baster works better because it long and you can get the t...
