I’ve owned Volvos all my adult life and always will. They are wonderful solidly built cars with many virtues. When you look at one closely it’s hard to miss the look of quality and arguably the best paint in the business. Extremely safe and very dependable. My first Volvo was hit in the drivers door by a Nissan going an estimated 40mph. The Volvo was totaled but my son, who was driving, walked away and called us to come and pick him up while, sadly, the Nissan driver went to the hospital. That’s what’s most important to me. Not what’s trendy or gets the best gas mileage. Some might think I’m odd for loving Volvos but I’ll take that as a compliment.

Top Tip - remove the ECU cover & the next stage of the box ( easy to do , just a couple of clips to press) - This will give easier access to the belt tensioner & power steering pump. This method will give you enough room to remove the alternator without having to drain the coolant.

Here, in the UK , I bought this diesel model xc70 , new, back in 2005 ; I still have it, 17 years later. Having the battery in the back keeps it spotlessly clean, and easy to access . There is no measurable drop in the charging voltage from the alternator. So far , the alternator and electrics have worked just fine. Over the years, I have owned 2 740s and a 945 sports model. This xc70 has been far the best for towing . Yes Scotty was praising such a model in an earlier video.

Great Scotty ..! All OEMs MUST employ Scotty to implement "Fresh Eye Review " or "Serviceability " review. Great Scotty !!

I had a Volvo V70 estate of that shape which had the battery in the front. Just got an old 740 back on the road for the second time after another person crashed into it 6 years ago and broke the wing mirror. I couldn't be arsed to fix the mirror at the time so abandoned it. It fired up no problem. Amazing cars.

There's nothing wrong with regular bolts, Scotty. Car manufacturers started to use these interestingly shaped bolt designs, to force the owners taking their cars into the dealerships for repairs. But since they've lost that battle as all kinds of tool kits started to appear. Now they are making the cars all computer controlled. So in the end you do have to take your car into the dealership, because you can't work on them in your backyard anymore. That's why I still own a relatively simple car, to avoid that trap.

Messing with Pewdiepie’s fan base is like driving a Chrysler with 50,000 miles Scotty. It’s risky.

I own an 06 S60 and I can confirm it’s quite a pain to do anything in the engine bay. It always just seems one thing or another always gets in my way. Pretty smooth ride though.

The battery in my Volvo was original when I bought it, and I didn't need to replace it until last year. That's from 2006 to 2019, pretty good I'd say.

Scotty, you got both a negative pole and a positive pole under the hood if you check it more carefully. Those points are also used to get jumpstart help from other cars.

Third owner of a 1998 Volvo 70 XC with 240K miles and earlier this year it was the only car out of my three other much much newer cars (a Toyota Prius, 2019 Honda Odyssey, and a Honday Pilot that wasn't in the shop or needing to go.

I have owned two Volvo XC70s and on the old one (decidedly a lemon) I had to replace both the alternator and power steering pump... Can confirm that neither is fun! Scotty, I share your feelings whenever I have to play engine bay Tetris on my wagon... *↓ Potentially Helpful Info ↓* It's also worth mentioning that on the '01-'07 Volvo models with the P2 chassis (S60, S60R, V70, V70XC, XC70, V70R, etc.) the voltage regulator is *not* built into/inside of the alternator. This means that *you can replace the voltage regulator without having to replace the entire alternator!* It's a pain to finagle the regulator out if you don't remove the alternator assembly to get to it, but it could potentially save you a bucket of money... Replacement alternators cost an arm and a leg, but the voltage regulators can be had for about $45. No guarantees it'll work for you, but it did for me... The first time I had extremely low output from the alternator on my '02, I thought the whole alternator failed, but lucky for me, after replacing the voltage regulator, the alternator worked perfectly fine all the way until someone hit me head-on and totaled my car. Just thought I would share this in case any Volvo owners with a potentially bad alternator stumble across my comment... Best of luck if you need it, lol!

Scotty you need to host meme review!!!! Mechanics edition

Hi Scotty , was hoping you will some day do a video on electronic parking brakes.

For the battery normally there are jumper points under the bonet The general idea behind having the battery in the back is safety, when you want to attach to a 2nd car for a jump you don't want sparks near the battery due to risk of explosion because of gasses
