Well this is all very timely! Yesterday I borrowed my M-I-L’s uninsulated garage to take apart my door and replace those clips. I drove around running errands and cooked the interior until I couldn’t take it, to warm up the plastic. Pointed my wife’s old hair dryer at specific spots and clips. VERY ...

Interesting thread, I will have to do a permanent repair within the next year also. Please post photos and part numbers and suppliers of good flex pipes and the repairs you have done. I'm most nervous about the flange bolts snapping off when I try to remove them. o'reiley auto parts have the better...

Special bushing press.jpg I used the washer from the first bushing and turned it upside down and glued some top strut nuts on it to make an installation tool and a bushing bolt to fully seat the bushing. This was necessary so that the force is distributed on the plastic frame of the bushing, not th...

Hey folks! Took me a while to dig the internet for some of the wiring diagrams for P2 platform. Maybe these will help you guys and girls also. If I find more, I'll edit the post. Also feel free to share your collection! Here I have also uploaded P3 wiring diagrams: https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/...

Did just update post #1. Added 2002 V70 and 2003 V70 XC70 X90 diagrams.

The one in the 04 at PnP Barlow trail is toast. I took it out when removing the side panels and it does not retract. Can't recall if the P2's are pull and release to make the spring retract or like the P80's and can only stay out when they are broken or held in place in their notches on the back of ...

they should make the rear hardware out of the same material because the front nuts didn't corrode at all. The 3 nuts come off with no problem. I used this hardware kit, https://www.fcpeuro.com/Volvo-parts/V70/?year=2004&m=1280&e=2105&t=5&b=6&d=586&v=97&keywords=8642449KT ...

. Friend told me I'm a bull in a china shop when it comes to any type of repairs as I tend to break things. Wanted to see if I could remove the DIM without breaking any tabs or other plastics so took a little more time. Instead of paying the $150 to send it out he will be doing the soldering per las...

. Since I have a 2002 V70 XC I was curious. Per FCP regardless of DSTC it's 2 wire 05 vs 3 wire 03. 2005 is first year with 2 wire as 04 still has 3 wire from FCP photos, part numbers & Fitment Guide. . 2003 https://www.fcpeuro.com/Volvo-parts/XC70/?year=2003&m=218&e=2105&t=5&b=6...

Looking at the pictures, the main difference I can see is that the later 2 plug version actually has a third plug connector on the clockspring. So I guess that the 'third' connection is a plug in and not a lead with a connector on the end. Both also have the 2 plug ins on the rear. I'm thinking that...
