Amazing video!!!!! well done thank you so much. You just save my family a lot of money. God bless you and your family.
I would place a heater or something similar in the car and let it dry. But normally this should not make the vehcile rust. Ofcourse if its let sit there for a long time you may have problems with more then just rust, electrics etc.
great video, but cant seem to reattacht the two screws start that tighten the heater hose flange to the firewall–cant see down there–screws spin forever! any ideas?
2000 v70xc
Great video, Ken – saved me £1300 (!!) from my (UK) Volvo main dealer quote. Never tackled heater system before but this gave me the confidence to try and succeed first time. Well done.
Volvo V70 1998 2.5 Tdi.
Great Video!
ipd is the best straight to the point get fixed videos I have found Thank you ipd
S90 is it the same process
Great info. Thanks for the instruction. It helped me fix my Volvo coolant leaking issue. One thing I’d like to mention is: the heater core can also be pulled out and put in from driver side. The nuts on knee bolster of my car were very tough to dealt with. So I did all from driver side.
the inside of my 2000 s70 glt is flooded, will see if this is the problem.
My issue was mysterious coolant leak and wet carpets on the driver side. The T-25 screw securing the coolant pipes was loose, and water was leaking from this place when the temperature reached about -15 Celcius and the car was parked.
But new heater core and o-rings are now installed, there are no leaks, and the volvo is ready for higher milages. This video was of great help, thank you!
Extremely helpful!! Thanks for the video!
thank you very much for posting this. Do you know if the metal under the carpet will rust over time, because I cant get all of the coolant off the floor?
Brilliant, made a virtually impossible job possible. Good filming, good dialog. I had the job to do on a right hand drive car and it was still relevant. I am not sure how dry I will be able to get the carpet, the foam rubber underneath it absorbs the coolant like a sponge. Even after a couple of months in the hot Australian sun it was saturated.
the video was so helpfull.it made the dreaded less painfull:-)
THIS VIDEO HELPED ME VERY, VERY MUCH! I just want to thank you! Very easy to do just like in this video.

Thank you very much keep these videos up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
Hey ipd, any idea about a 940 heater core replacement? My 940 heater core is leaking all over the foot well carpets. I have disconnected the hose on the outside leaving the car with no heat. The process of replacing a 940 heater core seems to involve a lot more process compared to a 850/70?
I’m on the tools myself and have already done a couple of these abeit on a rhd model (UK) but have to say a very good video and well edited too.
i love this. learned a lot. will do it in my 97 850 t5. you can tell that you want everybody to take care of their volvo rather than than just getting the job done.
Just completed the mission! You’re THE MAN for uploading this and saving us all some money. Thank you very much!!!
i was told $500 to fix it..think i am going to give it a try myself….would never consider it till i seen the video…thanks man~!!!!
Just did this job, super easy with this video! I would recommend a large towel. I used an old bath towel, and the coolant that come out SOAKED it.
Thank you, that was very helpful.
‘wow thank you so much! I will be doing this in a hour or so and realized a couple things that I will need to do, great help!!!
Wow, thank you very much for uploading this! A daunting task has been de-mystified!
Great video. I followed it to the letter on my ’98 S70 and it took me less than an hour start to finish. It really is as easy as it looks and it sure is nice not to have that antifreeze smell in car any more. Thanks!
Thank you!!!!
You mean steel pipes. Aluminum is a metal
Very useful video. Had it next to me on my laptop when I did the replacing. The one thing I’d like to point out though that might worry some one how to do is the fact that you really don’t have to clamp off the heater hoses under the hood. I didn’t have any tools for that, so I just put a trash bag under the pipes that connect to the heater core, the amount of antifreeze that came out was about maybe 0,2 litres, which isn’t much at all. Other than that, really useful video.
thanks for the video, i did this not more than 1 year ago and i’m now loosing coolant, the smell is back and the window is sticky and fogs up…i’m fairly sure i changed the ‘O’ rings but dont remember checking it for leaks…im no mechanic 🙁
wery nice totorial, thanks a lot! 🙂
but do u know does it will fit to C70 2001 2.4 ?
I would like to know if the same instructions can be followed for a 2001 Volvo S80 T6? Thanks in advance. Great video, will recommend your channel
Wish I would have found this video about a week ago – I ended up busting the plastic bulkhead fitting (interface btwn inside and outside) and had to replace. Thanks for the excellent tutorial.
