Been lifting my 2000 XC gently from the center front of subframe for 10+ years, no issues. May not be the best, but it works for me and doesn't appear to have any negative effects. After I jack it up, I usually put the jack stands under where the subframe mounts are. Me too. Front center to raise o...

Front. I normally do one side at a time under the rear sub-frame mount. It is well supported. Not-sure I would lift at the middle of the front on the sub-frame. Neil. What is your concern about the middle of the front subframe? I have lifted from there and it seems to work ok. but seems is the key ...

If you take off the top timing cover (The one with the clips), I bet you have enough space to look down and see if there is a mechanical tensioner or not.
if yes, you have one.. if not.. hydraulic (in a different location).

Wow.. thanks for the notes on this. I have been so impressed with Volvo's rust protection that I wouldn't even bothered looking there. Just to be clear, jack up rear, remove wheel, remove plastic liner and inspect. Correct? The reason people don't notice this until it's too late is it's hidden by pl...

Is there a thread on this one yet? Where did you get it.?

Spray the O2 sensor with your favorite penetrating oil before hand. Every time I had to replace a O2 sensor (on 5 different brand of cars) the job is only made difficult because of access or awkward positioning. For me they have ranged from being shockingly loose to tough to remove. But in all cases...
