Thanks - good tip !

Gang - Does the standard Volvo coolant show up with UV light or will I have to add dye to it? Since there is no radiator cap, will it take a long time for the dye to circulate throughout the system from the reservoir? I'm hoping that it is my 22 year old reservoir that is leaking as opposed to somet...

I wanted to document how to remove the bolts covers from the rear of the front seats . It's not rocket science but getting those covers off is normally the first thing one does when removing the seat and starting off by breaking them is a difficult way to begin. The rear plastic covers are a press f...

Patience is a virtue - thanks!

Thanks, David - good to know. That's quite a P2 fleet you've got!

I sure don't want my air bag light to come on when removing the driver seat from my '04 V70. After disconnecting the battery, how long should I wait before daring to unplug the seat electrical connections? Thanks!

SUCCESS - well, so far. I started with left cover of driver's seat. I pushed down on the carpet at the front of the cover which provided a little room. I put a medium sized flat blade screwdriver in under the cover from the front (left of center) and pried & prayed and it popped off. When I do t...

Thanks, cn90 ! I actually did search eBay for the part # earlier but no luck. Not sure what I was doing wrong. That sure looks like the part and prying from the front should do it. I may wait for a warmer day just so the plasic isn't quite so brittle.

IPD suggested that the correct part # is 39975895 I think they are correct from the image I found: https://www.getoemparts.com/oem-parts/volvo-front-cover-39975895?c=Zz1ib2R5JnM9dHJhY2tzLWFuZC1jb21wb25lbnRzJmw9OSZuPUFzc2VtYmxpZXMgUGFnZSZhPXZvbHZvJm89djcwJnk9MjAwMiZ0PWF3ZCZlPTItNGwtbDUtZ2Fz I will ta...

Gang - One of these days I'll try to fix the driver's seat heating issue. The first obstacle is removing the plastic covers that cover the front bolts that attach the seat to the tracks. Breaking them would be a bad way to start. The tips I've seen all seem to relate to a cover that looks different ...
