Thanks rmmagow! I'll add it to the list!

So, this may be a dumb question but gonna ask anyways, if the spring seat in the engine bay is loose can you just tighten it up or does it need to be replaced?

Thanks!

Unrelated to the vacuum leak, but just glad to see the ETM moved to a location that is easily accessible in mikealder's pics! On the 2000 S70 it is tucked up under the the manifold (I believe) and you are going totally by feel. Not cool given the failure rate of those units. Not to derail anything j...

While I haven't done it myself, the process is in the Chilton's manual (72302). It only lists like 6 steps: basically disconnect any wires and tube, unbolt the hood from the hinges, then remove the hinges. The book points out the bolts you need to deal with.

I tried to start the car with it connected. The car cranked but wouldn't catch. I removed the reader and it till wou...

Don't take this the wrong way, but I think I love you! LOL That would be awesome, I totally want to get into an AWD wagon.

It is funny you mention this. I recently saw the BadSwede lift kit and had a similar thought: the 2.5" would be an absolute must if I ever get an XC70 wagon. The IPD project car is pretty bada$$ too. Have you seen that? If you do it, please post pics and video!
