My doctor squirms every time I work on the car, I have a low platelet count and no longer clot. Ripping gloves is common with my size 15 hands, and you are correct about lack of room to do anything. But, compared to the newer Volvos, the 1998 has gobbs of work room!

When replacing the PCV, clean out the PTC nipple. It gets carbonized with dino oil vapors. The PTC is that electrical plug in the air intake that goes to the turbo. Be careful removing it, the rubber is soft, and just as careful putting it back on the air hose. I just used a small screwdriver to ream it out. The inside edge is copper, so try not to scratch the heated element too much.

There is a lot of good advice regarding PCV and PTC on Matthews Volvo site.

It is probably time to start a new post, this one is getting rather long.
