I heard an ominous sound on our V70 AWD a couple months ago when mindlessly parking. I was pulling into a spot with a curb & the front of the car actually made contact. I hadn’t experienced that before, & am darn sure to never do it again. It scraped the underside of the front of the subfram...

They are blank no name coils. I will try and swap them around. And plugs I used bosch platinum. The ones with 4 prongs around the tips... With as many misfire codes as you’re getting I wouldn’t be surprised if you don’t have ANY known good coils to swap around. But before dumping a bunch of money o...

Someone might have some way of modifying Volvo's design to better suit you ...

Plain old single electrode/copper Volvo/Bosch plugs are time tested & proven, especially on turbo models. That being said, it’s most likely that your coils are the problem vs your 4-electrode plugs. Get know good coils in there and then proceed along to trouble shooting.

Rear FOG light button, not defog.

I’d get the entire car off the ground. If your bevel gear is good and collar sleeve/BG input splines are intact the driveshaft should not rotate freely. If you can rotate the driveshaft your front tires should also be spinning.

I’d try to install fresh spark plugs every 30-40k, this really seems to help reduce the tendency for ignition coils to go pop. If you did timing belt et.al around 100k I’d plan to do the next one around 170k-180k & also do a water pump & new coolant then as well. Since you’re 2004 you’ll pro...

Respectfully, I would resist the temptation & wait for a 2003-2007 with slightly less miles. The price isn’t bad. Those are the nice comfy front “sport” seats, which are very desirable, only bested by the R seats. But black interior is going to be very hot as far south as you are. Edit: not a ba...

I have a roller coaster/mogul field of a steep gravel driveway. Perhaps ECM jolted loose by bouncing up and down the driveway? Regardless, it is going to my local indie. I need the car, and fiscal year end demands at work will preclude me from getting to it. Evan, if you need an ECM removal tool th...

I agree with Abscate - there aren’t really any other obvious 2-conductor receptacles in that vicinity. Has to be PTC connector. Look at the hard plastic pipe that you took off of the turbo inlet (The one that goes from the MAF to the turbo). There should be 2 hose barbs of different sizes right on t...
