2006 S60 2.5T No Heat At All And It's Freezing outside

I try to catch the coolant as well in a bin and reuse it, as it's quite recent. The first time I did it, I think I only slowly removed the hose from the thermostat and there was some coolant flow (the reservoir cap was closed), perhaps half a liter. The second time I went with unscrewing the bleeder under the radiator, because this way it's less messy, however going by the bleeder will make most of the coolant drain.

I was a little confused after watching your video towards the end, you said that you replaced only the thermostat. I then realized that your Volvo is a non turbo. But, in your video, you clearly showed that even though it is a non turbo, there is a housing for the thermostat. And you also showed the brand new housing unit towards the end? Can you explained what you did there? Thank you.

Ok, I read your explanations at the bottom of the Youtube video. I guess I didn't noticed the option "show more" button. I understand now. It makes sense to do it your way rather than struggling to get the whole thing out! I will see what I am dealing with once the outside temperature allows me to work on this. It is too cold right now. thanks again.
