alldatadiy opinions needed S70 1998

I have an '98 S70 non-turbo that I need to pull the motor from, rebuild, and replace.
I have been looking for a manual that is better than the Haynes manual.
I posted a message before asking if anyone knew where I could get genuine Volvo shop manuals that will cover these procedures. Someone replied and suggested that I try www.alldatadiy.com. I have looked at the site and there is no way to know how complete the information is on the vehicle. The only way to find out seems to be to go ahead and pay the $25. Then if it doesn't have what I need I will be screwed.

Does anyone subscribe to alldatadiy for this Volvo or a very similar one and can you please post your opinion on the completness of the information.

I don't have a problem with paying but I would like a better idea of what I will get for my money.

I would really much rather have a genuine Volvo manual(s) and would be willing to pay if I just knew where to get them.

Thanks,

-Kenric

    You could try:

    http://www.volvotechinfo.com/

    http://www.volvovira.com/

    I looked at the set of hard copy manuls for my 98 (the last
    year they had hard copy) and it was over $2000 (two thousand)
    for a complete set from Volvo. As I recall, my oners manual
    listed an 800 number to call to get the catalog of manuals
    (there is a manual for motronic, one for tranny, one for AC, one
    for electrical, etc.).

    I think you could do the work using alldata. It has as much in it
    as some Haynes manuals I've seen for other cars.

    I have used AllDatadiy for the last 2 years for both my volvos. From what I understand they are based on the factory manuals and based on the pictures and some of the text, I'd believe it. They are pretty good, though sometimes things are a little difficult to find. I have found them very helpful, especially in combination with information here and Bay 13. I have definitely gotten my $24 out of the subscription. I would recommend using it for anyone who does a lot of DIY.

    I don't think volvo makes printed manuals any more. The tech's on
    the board will know, but I think they've mentioned that now
    everything is electronic.
