I've got some oil coming from my turbo return lines, and am convinced that at the very least it's time to replace the PCV on my V70, with 123K. I've seen the kits that IPD sells (although FCP Groton doesn't appear to have one for my 99 turbo), and have read bits and pieces about the DIY procedure from brickboard, swede speed, and volvo speed, which apparently includes removal of the fuel rail and intake manifold. It looks to be an absolute pain. Unfortunately, because there's a lot of differences between 98 and 99, and then into the P2 years, I haven't been able to find a complete guide for my 99, and I'm afraid to proceed with only a few puzzle peices.
Does anyone have a good resource for PCV replacement on my 99? It is doable as a reasonably skilled DIY'er, or is it worth just paying a mechanic to blindly replace the system?
