C70 Fuel Line Replacement

Post by CutterComp »

Hello everyone, new to this forum, new to Volvos really, although not to working on cars. Trying to fix a 2001 C70 Convertible w/ the 2.4T for a friend. Car sat for a few years and among the many issues is that the main fuel line from the tank to the fuel filter was rodent damaged. It leaks in a few spots, all within 8 inches of the filter.

I've been unable to find a part number for this hose, but also unable to find parts diagrams for this car. RealOEM is my usual go-to, but they don't support Volvo it seems.

Looks like I have to drop the tank for this. Can't find anything C70 convertible or even C70 specific, but maybe for some of the other models in the forum. How close to identical are the 850/S70/C70/V70 underneath as it pertains to the fuel equipment/rear suspension?

Also, looks a larger rubber hose going to what I'm guessing is an evap purge valve is rotted. This rubber hose heads towards the rear of the car and slips over a hard plastic line above the rear suspension beams. Hoping to find a part number for this too.

Finally, this car will need a timing belt just looking at the condition of the old one. Any good DIY writeups for this job?

Thanks.
