Turbo has cooling lines with rubber connector hoses. You also have the heater lines that run from bell housing down and behind to the firewall to go inside to heater core.

The rear bevel gear drain plug is harder to reach. The drain plug faces the rear of vehicle. Here's a photo of an extended swivel wrench attached to the 13mm drain plug. http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee376/jwholley68/20190220_162752_zpspeooxgfm.jpg?t=1550619896 This is the rear drain plug afte...

I couldn't find a thread discussing the rear final drive gear drain plug so I started this thread last week:

It faces the rear of the wagon. You'll need an extension and wobble joint attached to a 13mm socket.

I have replaced numerous s70 breather boxes and only one s60. So when I had to replace the breather box on my 2007 XC70 I dreaded it because of the banjo bolt design. Combed the internet looking for an easy way to do this. If you watch the fcp video on youtube he makes it look so easy. NOT, That's w...

I had something similar a few years back. My problem ended up being dirt and grim had accumulated on the climate control fan blades making it off balanced.

The Bosch ETA on that car is VERY sensitive to connections. Volvo techs do not unplug them when doing work on cars, they unbolt throttle and set it aside due to the incidence of comebacks for throttle codes and reduced engine performance message. There is a throttle pigtail sold by Volvo and they di...

Did you measure the gap between the clutch & the AC compressor pulley? I’ll include a video. I’ve seen varying specs, but seems clutches cease to work once the gap reaches .60ish mm and beyond. There’s an awful lot of documentation & discussion regarding shimming the clutches on these. If yo...

There's a guy on YouTube, TexasCoder I believe, that shows replacing a clutch on an XC90 without cracking open the refrigerant lines. I don't know if this is even possible on the XC70 though, I haven't attempted it the way he shows. Supporting the engine from above and lowering the front of the subf...
