I'm trying to replace one of the heater coolant hoses that's right above the accelerator pedal in my '79 242. The upper hose (the short one that goes to the heater control valve) has a crack in it and has been spewing coolant at my feet.

Man, what a pain in the ass. I've been trying to take the damn thing off for almost an hour, and I've made little progress (aside from having scrapped my knuckles pretty bad.)

For as well thought out of a car as the 240 is, Volvo really didn't think about the HVAC unit.

My '66 122 sure is a lot nicer in comparison. 6 screws and you've got easy access to the Heater fan and core.

I wonder why Volvo went from that simple of a system to one that's as complex as the one in the 240s.

That's the end of my rant. Thanks for reading.
