Thanks for the response, and confirming my thoughts. Also, yes, I'm the same way and cleaned it all up with carb cleaner and a toothbrush before reassembly.

The PCV wasn't completely blocked, but was pretty close to being so. There is a noticeable increase in the amount of vacuum when performing the glove test on the oil fill hole after the PCV...

A write up is not really required beyond the normal painful process of changing bulbs in the XC70. Both the LED bulbs and the resistors come with plugs that attach to the factory wiring harness....

I have a set of led bulbs in mine. They are definitely brighter than the halogen bulbs I've tried. They also are not blinding to oncoming traffic, as I checked that by having my wife drive toward me...

Thanks for the reply and info. Great looking install you've got there. I guess I'll go ahead and order a larger cooler and see how it affects the temps. I'll monitor temps as the weather gets...

I recently bought a popup camper with a dry weight of 1900lbs, loaded it is around 2400lbs. The tow vehicle is my 2006 XC70. So far we've been on two trips and I've been monitoring the transmission...

First off, thanks to everyone for the wealth of information provided by this site. I've found it very useful over the last few years since I purchased my Volvo.

Anyway, I have a 2006 XC70 with...
