Dear volvofever,

Good p.m. and may this find you well. To Mike's good advice, I venture to add that you can use cotton tipped swabs, so long as you flush out any cotton fibers, that may cling to the inner surfaces. You can also used pipe cleaners, to get to areas, that the swabs cannot. The solvent will not damage the electrical connections, even if it were to get on them, as the motor is sealed. The electrical contacts are at the other end of the motor, from where you'll be working.

You remove the motor - which is mounted on a bracket beside the intake manifold (on the driver's side of the engine bay [US/Canada] models) - by removing two 10mm hex bolts, the electrical connector (press to release), and two hoses (loosen clamps completely and pull-off the hoses).

Hope this helps.

Best Wishes for a Good, Healthy New Year!!

Yours faithfully,

spook
