Re: can the voltage regulator be changed with the alternator still in the car?

I doubt there is enough room

Here is a thread that shows that you can do it in the car on a S60 ,maybe the same , maybe not.

Re: O2 sensor replaced, CEL still present...

There are certain driving conditions you have to meet to get all of the monitors to run. You may or may not meet all those even after driving 300 miles. I have seen the procedures listed before on different volvo sites , you will have to search.

Re: Split Loom Deterioration

Do you guys think this condition might be more likely to happen on a Turbo model due to the heat? I did notice that the portions under the electrical tape were actually in good shape. So the extra layer of plastic seem to keep the plastic safe. I wonder if anyone makes a foil heat shielded split ...

Re: Split Loom Deterioration

I used" Rescue tape" because that is what they had at the local ace hardware, but it was expensive there( worked very well and was easy to use) , about $11 a roll and it took 2 1/2 rolls.I only used continuous wraps where the factory did( wrapped it just like the factory did). I have seen prices ...

Re: Split Loom Deterioration

Mt 2007 xc70 was the same way. The worst loom was the one for the coil packs( has most heat, on top of the head under the plastic cover).Injector loom was bad also and any area that has high heat.I have worked on cars( all makes / models) for years and have never seen looms rotted like this. The ...

Re: Can I clean a Throttle Body properly without total removal?

I just cleaned mine when doing the PCV system, and with how baked on the residue was, and how much scrubbing/spraying/scrubbing/spraying there was to get it clean, I can not imagine doing it in the car and doing a good job.

Re: Start Prevented Try Again

That warning is part of the anti theft system, the antenna ring that communicates with the chipped key is right around the ignition ( the area that you worked on). Did you leave it unplugged or damage it? This problem came up on mine when my old starter battery's voltage was low and would not charge ...

Re: PCV Replacement - broken hose

Great info. I managed to get some vacuum hose at the autostore and replace that line. It was kind of a blessing in disguise, because coming into the banjo bolt it was so clogged I had to drill that grit out.
If you actually drilled out the bolt, not the fitting , you might need to get another one ...

I want to check it on our car if it has it obviously.
I dont think so , maybe someone else knows. I saw a video on changing the PCV system on a 90's 850 turbo and it did not have the banjo fitting on the manifold.
