Not sure if all xc70s have this but there is a small capacitor hidden underneath the engine fuse box...anyone know why? Item 10 in the diagram

My old pickup trucks all have one that look like that - for noise interference on the radio due to ignition RF bleed through. No idea if that’s what it does on a Volvo though

yes looking like its something to clean the voltage. If your radio is making engine noises.

I think that’s the warp core on an R, so that the owners think they are fast.
