Why do you have an extraECM in that car? It looks sad.

Finished timing belt and water pump before the house woke up. Then ran the boss to emergency dental

Ouch.

Did manage to contribute to Bloopers, too.

On my 98 V70GLT I replaced 2 of the vacuum hoses to the turbo, the ones on top, how do I get to the one on the bottom?? It comes from the solenoid (?) beside the air box.

Yeah , that’s fun isn’t it?

Try lying on top of the engine to get both hands free.

Replaced clutch switch on Elizabeth the T5, swapped summer tires , adjusted parking brake. Tire swap is a perfect time to do this. Crank adjusters down tight, then two clicks back.

Try removing the air box and intake elbow, you should be able to get to it fairly easily. Definitely not a great location, though!
