VVT stands for Variable Valve Timing. Here is a good link to some more information on it with pictures included. http://www.justanswer.com/volvo/2qlk8-need-know-retime-cams-gears-2000.html As volvodoc said, I also think that the timing may be a tad off, just because the teeth line up with the gears,...

The only time you buy oil from a parts store is when its on the oil change special. I got 5 quarts of Mobil 1 synth oil and a Mobil 1 filter ($14 by itself) for $33.99, now that's a deal. And you could upgrade to the extended performance for another 2 dollars

Bah, apparently the only AWD model in that year that has the same wheelbase is the v70R, which I probably will not find one of those to be a donor LOL.

s70 AWD - 104.5 in.
c70 HPT coupe - 104.9 in.
v70 XC - 104.3 in.
v70-R AWD - 104.9 in.

I just ran into this manual transmission on ebay for the c70 and it lists towards the bottom all the cars it fits into, and the v70 AWD is included in that list....hmmm, interesting. Of course, I'm not sure how accurate that is, but still. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&...

That's a lot to consider jimmy, thanks for all the info. I'll probably find a donor car at some point...I have no idea about the wheelbase, but I do know of a custom driveshaft place in town here, but this project is probably not going to happen for a goooood while from now. At the moment I'm just p...

Oh yeah, its a 2000.

This guy did it with his 850 and I know they are very similar inside, but I just thought it'd be awesome to have an AWD, but I'm not sure if it will work out so well with the manual transmission...

Does anyone have a picture of the drivetrain on one of the AWD models? I'm trying to see how it is set up. What I'm trying to do is turn my c70 manual into an AWD, what are your thoughts on this? Seem possible?

Timing belt tensioner count as "timing belt"? That's what went out on my gf's c70, I didn't know anything about cars back then, we bent her valves =(

I noticed this is on a convertable and that the speakers are behind the seats instead of on the rear dash like how they are on the coupe, do you think the strut mount is still behind the seat on the coupes?
