Thanks putting together a list. Already have the Haldex fluid. Seems to be a bit of different opinions on the actual oil for the bevel gear. Most used a 75-90 synthetic. Will add some more stuff to the list. Didn't think of the copper washers. Will pick up one of those long handle ratchets too. With...

Thanks all for the info and insights. I watched several videos. Looks pretty straight forward. Of course on a near 20 year old car Murphy's Law always comes into play. On one video the guy didn't totally remove the drive shaft. Just at the angle gear. I was planning on getting the Volvo collar kit. ...

Thanks, I checked out Robert's video a while back. Even posted a question about the xc turbo coolant hoses. He responded and said they were difficult on p2 cars.

Will have to remove some stuff from the top and see if I can find the top one. Crazy design. All auto manufacturers should requ...

Hi new to site. Have a 2004 xc70. Need advice on how to replace turbo coolant hoses. Watched several videos on YouTube, but none really address p2. After looking from both top and bottom, hoses look almost impossible to access.
Thanks Brad

Found it. Wasn't gray

Hi all New to MVS. I removed the intake tube that goes from the air mass and air box to the turbo. It has a set of smaller hoses and an electrical connection towards the bottom of the tube. Some how I have lost where the end of the smallest vacuum line connects at the other end. I have it all back t...
