I think he may have use the incorrect length in the hard line elbow. He can either find a shorter one or cut off a section.

Thanks, guys! I’m going to take a look at that video, and yeah, custom hoses has to be the plan. Does anyone have a measurement for the length of the aluminum pipe after the 90 degree bend? Like from the bottom of the pipe to the bottom of the crimped area? Don’t go to any trouble; like abscate says...

I know the bolt there is wrong, it’s just helping to keep the hose in place for the picture.

Folks, I’ve got a weird one. The AC suction hose blew out on the Volvo. I was unable to find a replacement hose, so I had my hose repaired by a local hydraulic shop. I go to install the hose on the back of the compressor, but it won’t go on. The way the hose block is clocked, the hose Hass to be at ...

Is it just me, or is the tie rod end not fully seated also? I just put one on, and I thought it seated more tightly than this one appears to?

Best,

Hey all, Thanks for bearing with me; I've had a lot of other things in the way of getting back to the Volvo. Okay, so I tried the "ground the positive" method and no change. Although instead of hooking the negative back up with the key off, I did it with the key at position 2, since that's...

Yup. Thanks, jimmy. It's worth a shot. The fuses were fine, though pulling the siren fuse did fix the sunroof, so that's one item out of the way. Bert the pos 2 connect battery is an airbag service injury prevention step. If you have an airbag system fault you might have made a bad repair and hookin...
