Part #13 for the 2005 is the big rubber boot but the diagram doesn't indicate the small bearing located inside at the top of the boot, same for the sort of large C clip that secures the boot to the floor

Just careful as the upper liner clips at the fender are pretty annoying and may damage the paint if forced. The liner itself is quite stubborn to put back on those two small studs

I suggest also cleaning the IAT that's on the MAF sensor, you will find it has a thick crust on it (to clean the MAF you need a special MAF spray) www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bejldUOfVs But I think the problem may be at other place. It's an automatic? Maybe a vacuum leak ? I remember someone had a prob...

Try removing the alarm siren fuse - left side dash panel, may also lock unlock dr door with the fob 3 times

Hopefully the donor transmission is confirmed in good working condition. All those 01-02 had the same issues. If yours is still working decently, may try first swapping only the valve body - a much easier job.

OP mentions the spark plug replaced lately looked like it had impact on the electrode. Could you upload a close up with this ? It's is hard to think there w...

You could have got a used reservoir with hose off ebay, this is the newer model that has no longer that brass piece inside https://www.ebay.com/itm/99-07-OEM-Volvo-S60-V70-S80-S70-Power-Steering-Fluid-Reservoir-w-Suction-Hose/114473850732?epid=1328922710&hash=item1aa72c576c%3Ag%3AXgwAAOSwLsFfjw8...

Best is to get the new reservoir model off ebay, with the rubber hose attached - or from the junkyard May lift it, drain it, use a large towel to cover the engine. If you lift the coolant res, make sure to disconnect the sensor underneath The two are difficult to separate at the upper clip Takes onl...
