Didn’t do anything except wash my car. When I look back at it, I’m grateful that my factory nivomats are still strong. Going to be sad when they go. Enjoy your factory nivomats while they last!!

Also, great news. I fixed my gas filling problem! Turns out it was indeed related to a previous repair related to that “over fill” line I think I mentioned earlier. From the factory This is a largish diameter steel line coming from the top of the drivers side rear of the tank. It goes from there fol...

My tensioner is not hydraulic. Did it half a year ago. Actually the PO sold me the car with a timing belt kit and I was disappointed to find that it was hydraulic and not compatible. The canister is square. Very easy to drop down up front. And I believe it also says “GM” on the top. As in General Mo...

I did stumble on another thread of someone with a 1998 R which also had evap canister up front and AWD of course. Are you sure you cant get that back axle down? It is a pain the first time, after that, with new hardware, its not bad at all. My fuel lines on top were a rusted mess of crap which all ...

I have used those pictures to help locate the various lines on my car which have sprung leaks. Because many of my repairs have been done via untraditional methods… I have been repairing my fuel system by abandoning the old lines and cutting holes in the floor to splice into whatever good sections we...

I have never heard of an xc70 with the charcoal canister up front. Look from the rear of the car underneath amd confirm you don’t see the canister back there. It’s real. And it is very easy to access the connections by removing the driver side blinker. If I need to remove it it’s one bolt and it dr...

Now that i'm thinking back to when this began, it was shortly after I had replaced the pressure line going from the fuel filter to the sender. My car is in rough shape so dropping the subframe to get to the fuel lines running above the tank was not an option, it would total the car (it is held toget...

There is a vent hose, around 1/2 inch diameter, that goes up and has a bend and has a round filter on end. If that has gotten a mud dawber nest, spider nest, etc. in it so that it doesn't flow freely, the vapors can't escape as fuel goes in and the vapor and fuel spit back and trigger fuel nozzle s...

Hey everyone. I have a 98 V70XC that i've been driving for about a year now. Going into this, my first AWD P80 and knowing this car was neglected when I got it, I knew I'd have fuel related issues at some point because of the complicated fuel system, and it finally happened. Currently I cannot fill ...
