On Fcpeuro this seems to be your kit for the belt https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo- ... em#fitment I think the Fcp have a glitch in their system, sometimes they don't show the 2.4 (or base) engine after 2005

As above, really don't see the idea with Zerex. Stay away from Prestone, I had it and it caused deposits. Volvo coolant concentrate sells for $25, mixed with 1 gallon of distilled water from Walmart ($2), it's under $30. Prestone you have to buy the 50/50 it gets even more expensive. Zerex concentra...

You cannot use a standard torx on a ratchet, it won't fit in there. I use the 14mm socket and ratchet but see what I mention in this video, I use a very thin head ratchet, a 3/8" Husky one that is only 12mm thick with a socket that is not too long either. I wonder if a 1/4" ratchet would b...

Perhaps see this discussion for OE replacement parts https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=86230 Look first for small holes in the cat itself, where the bracket is welded to the cat I bought a $250 downflex and cat for my 2003 NA off Ebay. These came prewelded but as I expected, t...

Just my 0.00002c but I really don't like those worm clamps on the PCV. When I did my PCV, I put a worm clamp - and it was actually the Volvo kind which is less prone to loosen by itself, and when I drove the car the worm clamp got slack and the PCV hose popped off. Lots of fun trying to push that ho...

The B appears to be the fuel line connection, may find a detail here - be careful when releasing the pressure especially if the engine is still warm (not recommended) wear eye protection and some black rubber gloves www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cv7O8xHUiFc The A looks like the pressure power steering lin...

I see what you mean. The end link actually keeps the strut from being aligned - or easy to align, it forces it to rotate like in the picture So it helps to detach the link, however with the link detached the strut will not move upwards - rather it may even move lower than it's now, because when the ...

Very good post, but I would be afraid to share this on Internet, it will give ideas to some dishonest people about how to falsify the mileage.

Are you sure there's no small 'manual' tab at the actuator ? (may look with a flash light) Fcpeuro lists the same part from 2001 on https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo-fuel-door-lock-solenoid-s60-v70-xc70-s80-xc90-genuine-volvo-30612856#fitment Junkyard ones are perfectly OK to try, however this ...

Just careful not to let the spindle hung free and pull on the CV joint - the outer CV joint may dismantle inside and be tricky to be put back in place
