2003 XC70 Ignition Wire replacement and hardcopy manual for XC70 V70-XC70 2003

posted by  someone claiming to be Jerry on  Thu Jun 26 06:14 CST 2008 [RELATED]

On my first attempt to change the ignition wires on my 2003 XC70 5 cylinder, I took off the 8 Star/Torkx screws and plastic cover that was on top of the engine thinking that the ignition wires would be under the cover. What I found were rectangular black plastic parts with shielded wires, nothing like my 240 ignition wires. Am I in the correct section and how do I procede with replacement of the ignition wires?
Also, I cannot seem to find a Haynes-type manual for the XC70. All I can find is a CD that does not work and the Volvo "Charge by the minute" tech department. Is there a hard copy manual for the XC70?
Thanks

Your 2003 XC70 does not have the old traditional Ignition wires you are used to.

Each cylinder has it's own ignition coil on top of the spark plug and a bakelite tube going down to the spark plug. coils can be interchanged for test purpose.
good luck
