99 S80 - is replacing ignition coils a DIY job

Post by KPO-CA »

My volvo mechanic (not a dealer) told me I had 3 bad ignition coils today. Is this something I can do myself. It looks easy enough.

It is totally doable!! I did it myself and I have very little mechanic experience. Any work on my volvo is astronomical expensive for me.

Yup, pretty easy. Look here

You can see how to get access, and remove the coils, then you just need to disconnect/reconnect them.

Good luck
