I know this topic has been covered on this site, but I need some more insight. I have the adhesive to reglue the Glass to the fabric and the canvas portion of the glass to the fabric as well. Volvo was kind enough to make this a difficult repair with the two types of attachment to the cloth top ...

Thanks for the reply cn90. I got the job finished (went ccw, 11 to 6, back to 7. Post went right, past goalpost then left back to center). we're driving about 80 mi r/t to see the new XC-90 this evening. I expect the drive to be completely uneventful.

jimmy57 and oragex, thanks for your replies. I was careful to pass the indicator post past the right goalpost, then move it back into position (center, cold engine, temp 68). I have noted that the post will move to the right no matter which direction the eccentric is moved (cw or ccw), and the post ...

Jimmy57 and cn90, thanks for your replies. Volvo seems to make this more confusing than it needs to be. Perhaps that is how those engineers justify their existence. There always seems to be exceptions to the rule, and I submit this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=IK ...

BTW, Sardine, I'm going to go out and do the 11 to 7 counterclockwise procedure, just to be safe. (I'm beginning to hate Volvo) Also, I have had the similar experience on a 2000 S-80. They are not fun to work on. Way too complicated.

hi Sardine, thanks for your reply. to go to the end first, the vvt pulley position seems to change from engine to engine, and from model to model. My 2004 C-70 has the vvt pulley on the exhaust cam (rear), but the 2003 S-60 (same basic motor?) has it on the intake cam. The S-60 is NA, my engine is ...

Hello:
Just finished a t-belt, water pump, idler and TENSIONER replacement on my honey's 2004 C-70, and I fear that I may have not adjusted the TENSIONER correctly. (I'll stop with the all-caps on tensioner...just wanted to highlight that this is the point of this post.)

I have seen several posts ...

I need to remove the rear seat bench in my 04 C70. There is one post (for a '99 C70) that says "pull straight up on the seat base and it will disconnect from the plastic clips". Pull as mightily as I can, and the thing remains stubbornly attached. Is there a difference in the attachment method from ...

JRL and Rocky, thanks for your replies.
JRL, actually, one does have to do with the other. There are a bunch of pieces that have to come off to get to the timing covers, and those same pieces would be removed to gain access to the oil trap, etc. No sense in duplicating my effort. My question was ...
