2006 XC70 Evap pump replacement process Topic is solved

[erikv11]

I replaced the evaporator pump today on our 07 XC70. The original pump made it to 221k miles. Neil's write-up was a stellar guide.

On this vehicle it was not necessary to remove any rivets to get the heat shield out. Lower the exhaust, then drop the rear-most exhaust hanger bracket and the heat shield slides right out.

Other than the rust on the fasteners for the pump, the job wasn't too bad. I had some Oetiker clmaps bought originally for engine work, Volvo 976561 from FCP Euro, that were perfect size for clamping the hoses onto the new pump.

Bells ring in my house every time an oetiker clamp is crimped….
