Do you have a manual that describes it? I've only done it on the 850. I'd say they should come out the top, but I've been fooled before. Intercooler hoses, coolant hoses, trans cooler hoses, A/C lines, brackets, and anything else in the way. Theres no way it can come out the top, intercooler hose f...

An Intake pressure loss richens the fuel air ratio, o2 sensor detects excess fuel passing through the system....it doesn't know w...

There was some in/out and lateral(?) play on the axle at the gearbox portion of the CV. I’m gonna pay my mechanic to test d...

you guys might like to try a fluid tester, similar to moisture meters used in boats to check for moisture in transoms. I just ordered this one. volvos aren't as susceptible to moisture as typical American cars , they use ni-cop line which doesn't rot out from the inside and resists external rust far...
