Hello , On my recently acquired Volvo XC70 2005 (225k kms) I find the steering is much tougher to turn when going to low speed. Going to mid speed and up the steering feels great. I dont hear any noise and I have not noticed any leaks. Is this actually normal ? If not what can I verify on my wagon t...

Thanks for all the advice guys

I know the hose being broken is very likely a symptom of likely bigger problems.

Im new to mechanic stuff so I see this as a warmup for bigger jobs. It went alright in the end the hose is changed and I did it myself.

It really pays to remove parts to get good access to things. On the P2, we get fantastic sight lines and high fuel economy due to the engineering of the engine in an incredibly compact package, but going to work on things means disassembly. there are tricks sometimes, but on a job that should last ...

I ended up managing to cut the clamp with some pliers who were too short for the job , had not much leverage I hurt my hand so many times on the starter and on the manifold haha.

Been trying to remove the lower part of the hose at the box : my hands are a bloody mess and I just cant seem to find a way to remove this damn clamp , the face where I should pry is facing the exact opposite of me. Any tips on how to remove it or is there a safe way to destroy it without breaking t...

I tried to make a quick fix but its damn hard to have my hand out there and tighten a clamp. I will buy the hose wich goes there and try to install it. Removi...

Do i simply pull on the lower hose to remove it ?

Yeah the car is running great and I have no lights on

How could I change this hose without removing the intake manifold ?

Thanks so much guys

I have an appointment at my garage in 2 weeks , is it dangerous to break something in the engine if I keep driving until then ?

I really apreciate the support from this community I feel its going to be quite useful as I really want to keep this car for a long time.

I looked at it again and I really think it is the same hose. From watching a video it seems to be the hose wich goes to the pcv box. Its the same size of hose , dont know if its suppose to come in one piece or they just overlap each other in normal conditions.

Here is the picture hope its better
