My friend purchased a PCV kit about a year ago and did NOT specify Volvo hoses. Last week we found this hose near the flame trap. Falling apart.

Look at FCPGroton.com or IPDUSA.com.

Shoot them an email and say that you want the kit with only OEM parts, and then ask them to get the prices together for you.

I'm not sure about shipping out of country, though. Another question for the email!

1+ to what jblackburn said, Volvo OEM only!

There is another thread on PCV, you may want to read it and decide what to replace and what you can keep.
Again Volvo OEM only. I bought the parts from dealer and the price is the same as online vendors.

Keep in mind the 1999 system is slightly different. Coolant runs along with that hose.

Thanks for doing this. I found this most helpful. Took me 25 hours or so, but It's been so long since I worked on a car I went VERY slow with the laptop on the roof of the car.

Seafoam or something of the sort will work. Change the oil afterwards.

Hello!

First post here at MVS, and I just wanted to say a major THANK YOU to Justin for this writeup. I performed the PCV job over the weekend in about 5 hours using OEM parts. Was able to get to the 12mm bolts from up above, did not remove coolant hoses, fan shroud, and i found that this service had been performed in a half-assed manner in the past, using URO hoses. The oil ports were clogged, the original box was still on the car, and the PTC was completely clogged. Also, I was fortunate enough not to drop manifold bolts during re-installation.

When I finally got the car back together, I was very happy that everything fired up, ran perfectly fine, and I no longer have a smoking dipstick. No check engine lights, blown off hoses, and no reason to go back in and re-do any of my work so far after 100 miles post-service. I would also like to thank CN90 for the 5/8 ID PTC hose (for lack of the actual part name) idea, I implemented it as well!

I used to be a huge advocate over on the brickboard when I owned an '86 245DL wagon (with a 302 swap!) Now that I'm the proud owner of a V70 ten years later, I feel that MVS is THE BEST site dedicated to repair and information of our beloved bricks.

Thanks everyone.
