I’ve got this exact same issue. Any follow up info would be great. Thanks! I should have come back and posted an update. There were a few unknowns that caused me to ask the dealer to install the replacement parts. There is a spring with a lot of tension that I was not certain I could disengage/re-e...

For a 98- P80, it has been a while, do you not just remove the headlight wiper arms, remove the rivets from the fender liner on the bumper side, and then undo the 2 large bolts (likely rusted) and then pull the whole bumper off? Like I say, it has been a while........... Neil. Hello. You are correc...

About five years ago, I tried to remove my front bumper cover while the bumper was on the car. I found 11 Torx screws along the bottom of the bumper support where tabs of the cover attached. I removed the 4 rivets in each wheel well that attach to the bumper cover, and pried the cover the best I cou...

I took the seat out today, to see if the job looks doable as well as see if I could find damage or confirm a loose joint. It isnt obvious how the mechanism works, but I was able to get about halfway through the R&R procedure before satisfying myself of both objectives. I found looseness at what ...

lrock - Thank you so much for this information! The parts guy at Volvo, who has been there forever, remembered that they did this job about a year ago. He said he had the 019 part on the shelf, but not the 018. He had the same issue with not knowing what "collapsable" and "extendable&...

Glad I could help a little. At the end of the day the part is designed to fail at a certain force. The seatback literally lies flat in the triggered state. I would (wildly) guess that the part on the loose side has worked its way into this failure posture (no pun intended). I got a more reasonable ...

I'd call the parts department of your dealer and ask which you need. This is a fairly obscure part. I've found just hanging out at the dealer and chit-chatting with Parts can lead to great info on fixes that comes straight from the horse's mouth. But yea, from what I can tell one is for a folding s...

Hi - My 2014 XC70 T6 came used with a defect in the powered driver's seat back I was unaware of. When accelerating, the left side of the seat back will move perhaps 1/8" backwards, due to looseness in what I assumed is a hinge. In searching, I find similar complaints,the WHIPS protection system...

I spent some time reviewing videos and forums, to find out how to replace the timing belt on my 1998 S70T. Mine has the same tensioner/pulley as the 850s did - this how-to is not for the late '98 through 2000 cars. One of the things I learned is, water pump and tensioner are suggested to replace eve...

Neil - I detect a slight pun in your reply - ha ha. Interesting. I would have never thought "hey, I might have a loose plug." On the other hand, logic might say any joint should be considered, and it would be an eligible source.
