XC70, 2002, remove lower radiator hose.

I can't see the lower radiator hose clamp at the radiator. Something must have to be removed to uncover the clamp. Can you tell me what and how to do it?

There's an air baffle that has to be removed under the radiator that runs the width of the car- one bolt (I believe it's 10mm) on each side...then after the plastic baffle is removed, you'll have access to the lower hose that's on the driver's side (passenger side if you're in the U.K.).

Hi MadeInJapan:

Thank you so much for your help. I noticed the bolts when I looked under my Volvo but I could't believe that only two bolts held the baffle in place.

Thanks again:
Zeek

Well, they also clip in the front so it's not really only those two bolts that hold it in place.
