I got half way through the job and had trouble getting a couple of the new hoses back on plus it was getting pretty cold working in the driveway so I had the car taken to a local Volvo shop for the reinstall. They re-used the injectors and everything works ok.

I did get the "oil smell" for a few ...

OK I'm ready to install the new oil trap and hoses and start putting everything back together this morning (notwithstanding my injector problem). How do those little hose clamps that Volvo uses work?
