Thanks for the relay info. The relay checks out good. Last night I pulled the plugs, put a fan on the open head for an hour, put a half capful of motor oil in each cylinder and replaced the plugs with new. No luck. Tried starting with a few shots of ether into the air filter box. Nada. Going to try ...

On an '01 V70 T5, the Jhose and evap canister are directly above the rear suspension at the center of the car. It can be done without dropping the subframe with patience. The part is cheap, the job itself is a pain. Drop the hangers for the muffler, pull the exhaust heat shields out, drop the exhaus...

Here's what I built to replace an automatic transmission in my 2001 V70 T5.

Set your clock already! Ready to do a new adaptation on it yet? Magnefine filter(s) in place yet?

I think the VIN decoder may be wrong. Check this one: http://new.volvocars.com/ownersdocs/2001/2001_VIN-VIC/vin2001.html The 2001 would have had an AW55-50SN in it from the start. The $500 delivered cost seemed like about the right ballpark, saw a couple in that range and that was only about 8 month...

It seems possible to backflush the filter through that port, though I don't know of anyone here successfully doing so. That port, specifically the opening on the left as you are facing the valve body, does indeed go back to pump suction (through a pretty convoluted path) Transmission with Valve Body...

I think the person that posted just above (PDXSVT) asked a very important question if a swap is done. I get that another AW55-50SN transmission with Geartonic from a 2001 or 2002 V70 T5 would fit and I spent hours this week checking for who might have one. The couple I found were quite expensive (>...

FYI, here's the (much dirtier) nameplate from the original transmission in my 2001 (early in the 01 model year based on the VIN). It's possible the P/N was changed as they changed the Rev on the valve body casting. I know that this transmission had a no-letter valve body in it. I did not open the 20...
