This is my write-up about how to replace the CVVT Solenoid for any of you that get the CEL with code P1332 ("Camshaft Reset Valve") and have narrowed it down to the solenoid. I did this on my 2000 V70XC and your results may differ, so don't blame me if you break something. The CVVT solenoi...

It matters - that's how the ECU knows which rotation the crankshaft is on. I haven't worked on that exact year, but I think you'll find if you look closely, it will only go back properly in one orientation. Looking at the back of the camshaft, there is a groove that is offset from center. I think th...

Yes it matters. There are likely 3 notches on the back of cam on that year and with the corresponding 3 in the sintered iron profile wheel it can only go on one way. If not then look and you will see that two notches are perfectly inline because they were made by one cutter tool but they are not cen...

Oil pressure switch.

The here you go......

Would it fit if you moved (7) over to the right bolt hole?
