hey there cmax.. 'ppreciate all the pertinent data. I went down and pulled rm120 and rm 121.. I could hear the relay clicking so yeah ..actuator. I was considering going to the junkyard and gets couple... ps.. I have both S60R and V70R.. the 2002 V70.. went bye bye.. that guys still driving that thi...

well apparently, the sensor and the thermostat were weak, and the converter were plugged... runs way better and cooler... I flushed it 2ce with beck/Arnley..

MDK here.. well brother, it's the wrong part. If it was me i would arrange for a return and give them the vin# and have them exchange it. It happens sometimes

5 mounting points? Yes, motor mounts with hydraulic fluid yep.. they're dead center of the firewall and radiator.. I call them acorns.. that's what they resemble

There's a guide in your owners manual. What oil you use depending on climate.. 0-40? No way.. 5w30 all year round here in Ohio I know that Canadian models have oil heaters for cold start ups..

I'd say you need a new PNP switch Mr Galt.. I just replaced mine on my 2004 V70 R.. showed the same message and acted like it was in winter mode. I'd get one from Volvo if it was me... That's what I did..MDK

You'll need a swivel/ 13 mm, extension and probably another swivel to get up in there... watching peppermint videos is probably your best resource sometimes I'd like to apply Thor's hammer to these Volvo's.. 100's of times.. now it's fixed!

So, what useful difference is there between having the engine type (early -late) VIN... versus engine # . What can be gained by knowing that number?
