Thanks Chris. I've done the PCV job myself before on another S60, nearly killed me. That one failed the glove test, the dipstick kept popping up, and it ran rough. My current vehicle passes the glove test, no dipstick issues, and runs pretty smooth.


Mine didn't have those issue neither, but it ...

No, its almost always a tiny PCV hose under the intake manifold that needs to be replaced. The PCV job is the most intense DIY so you'd want to look into that, and to do the whole system is about $400 for parts and another $450 for labor for an indie last I checked.

No, but it does look like there was some kind of flash fire in the tank since there is brown marks all around; brown stain on plug and the level sensor. I think I'm gonna have to replace the pump either way since it's pushing 20 now.

Date should be on the boot. It looks like a clock with a ring and arrow; arrow pointing to month and year is between the arrow.

Hey guys, I just changed the level sender because the gauge would get a bit erratic and then die off after about 20 min, and now after replacement it would die in about 5 min. I am wondering if its really the level sensor in the fuel pump and if I should just replace the pump as well.

Thanks!

You don't need to drive the car at all to refill the coolant. You can just run it parked, fill up the entire reservoir, and it'll naturally suck up the water so you'd be done in about 15 min depending on the outside temperature. Of course, if you want to hurry it up then just rev up the engine.

After a PCV repair I took the car to the highway and had a vacuum leak which caused me to pull over. After resolving the leak, I had to disconnect the battery because the throttle body was making very irregular idles and moving on its own.

After a drive cycle - all emissions test passed so now the ...

You need to buy the specific rubber grommet for the two sticks to the door actuators. You can only get them at the dealer, but that may have changed since the last time I dealt with it

The grommets will be destroyed over time and fall off the metal piece that holds the two sticks that connects the ...

Like any car you should read your owners manual. If you don't have one then you can find it online in the Volvo website.

Isn't that their job???

You can either go to a dealership and they'll tell you the part number, or just call FCPEuro and give them the VIN.
