Volvo bumper cover off, headlight washer repair, mesh grill inserts and bumper clading replacement.

[@davidhollway]

Just came here to say that I followed your guide yesterday. The windshield washer pump on my 2013 XC70 had developed a hairline crack on one of the hose barbs, and Volvo wanted $200 for a new pump plus $200 labour to replace it. With the aid of your guide and $10 of plastic weld adhesive I was able to remove the bumper, access the pump, and fix the leak. Thank you! Notes: 1) on my car, there was an extra screw in each front wheel arch - about 10cm in from the outside, in front of the wheel. Same T25 head as the other wheelarch screws. Your video doesn't explicitly show this one, and although it's pretty obvious, I thought I'd mention it. 2) At 6:46 you show the body-color molding being unclipped. This is not too tricky, which surprised me :) but I couldn't remove the bumper cover after this because of the small black plastic clip inside the wheel arch at about the same height. That has to be freed (can be done with fingers) before the bumper cover will come off. 3) My car has adaptive cruise and parking sensors. Obviously the wires for these were also connected to the bumper. The parking sensor ones just unclip, same as the front foglamps (and are attached to the same plastic housing). I left the adaptive cruise wire connected; for my needs, it was enough to just drop the bumper cover slightly off the car. I didn't need to move it out of the way by any distance. 4) At about the 9:00 mark you discuss disconnecting the headlamp wash hoses from the reservoir. My left-hand hose actually pulled off from the headlamp washer nozzle when I pulled the front clip off. The hose itself has a grey plastic sliding clip that releases it; when it was pulled off accidentally, my hose was damaged. However, by manipulating the grey clip I was able to get the hose to make a good seal to the nozzle assembly again. Thank you for this really helpful guide!

Glad you did it yourself!

[@davidhollway]

@@volvoswedenHey, where did you get those awesome Prancing Moose badges on the front wings of your car? I've looked but can't find any. I heard rumours that a certain Italian car marque that rhymes with "werrari" blocked sales of them on copyright grounds.

Thanks for this video Yuri. I have just bought a new left section for my XC70. The workshop manual wasn't very clear about this procedure but your video leaves me in no doubt of how to do it. Thank you.

[@Tmrfe0962]

What an extremely helpful video. You explanation is perfect, hit a deer last night, and my cover is the only thing damaged. I’m buying a used one, and it looks like I can pull this job off with your help. Thank you very much. Saved me a huge amount of time and money.

Hello from Denmark. First of all: Thanks a lot for your videoes, they are extremely easy to follow. Next: I followed your instructions and installed the mesh grill inserts to protect my radiator on my 2016 Volvo XC60 and it worked just fine. I tried different drills and found out that the drill for metal went through the plactic as a warm knife through butter. So once more: thanks from Denmark John Sommer

[@stevehoulihan726]

Brilliantly explained. If only other people would explain in as detailed a way.

[@malcolmkeith4251]

awesome awesome awesome, so well presented. the additional part for the 4 catches is very much appreciated, well done!

[@TheDIDSBIAK]

You did it again with a little help from your friend Evgeny. It's always fun to watch your videos. I am already looking forward to the next one. Thanks for sharing .

[@pbierre]

Super vid. My radiator had so many stone dents, the airflow was poor. Getting the bumper off was huge. Depocking was slow and tiresome, but it reduced coolant temp from 97C to 88C. thx

[@williamdrijver4141]

Safety advice: put a wooden block (or similar) on top or to the side of the engine. This way the hood can never brake the bones in your hands if it accidentally comes down when you hold on to the car while working on it (many videos of such accidents online).

[@davidgold5961]

5:57 silicone spray helps a lot here, also a hairdryer on high or a heat gun on low to warm up the plastic.

[@Gregamz]

Evgeni is one heck of a good friend!

[@paulspark7287]

This was really helpful! I had to remove my bumper to fix a leaking hose on my washer bottle.. and of course there was no room to do it from inside the wheel arch. Thank you very much - I have no washer leaks now!

[@sobnerlouis940]

Do you have a link to buy the 3 bottom plastic clips that hold the bumper? from 3min30 onwards

[@pbierre]

A good opportunity to vacuum bugs off radiator, and reopen any flattened fins. I used an awl to pick open the fin, being careful not to poke in more than 1-2mm. Doesn't need to be perfect, just open to airflow.

[@davidgold5961]

5:52 silicone spray helps release those tabs, also if you have a hairdryer to warm up the plastic that helps a lot too.

[@1959BB]

Thanks, that's a very helpful video, I particularly liked showing how to release the clips rather than just saying 'release them' so we know how to do it. My problem is the washer tank leaks, so I need to remove my bumper to inspect. I think it is probably a split pipe.

[@mrandrewgooch]

Thanks for this. Gave me the confidence to have a go and was successful.

[@edgraham4268]

Thank you again. This will be very helpful when I remove the bumper to replace the windshield washer reservoir on my 2005 XC90. I could not find a video for this year/model for my task but other similar videos that will be helpful.

[@Simon--m]

Nice video as always!! Greetings from Sweden

[@youtubecomment3096]

8:50 the „mice“ are normally animals we call „marder“ in germany. In sweden they have animals called „Mink“ which came from russia once upon a time... they look pretty similar... and as you can see, there are extra plastic tubes around the wire which normally should protect the cable... so you had a „Marder“ with very strong teeth 😉

[@jinxed_jinxed_3443]

Very nicely done, top job.

[@rayalarcon115]

I really needed this video... thank you very much bro!

[@4chankrozb]

Hey man. I really hope so you will answer me. That reservoir for water for windshield on 5:00, can I remove it without removing bumper? Thanks.

[@davidgold5961]

17:12 use a hairdryer to heat up the double-sided tape, it comes off quite easily.

[@geebopbaluba1591]

Can you explain how to change out the radiator on a 08 S80 T6? Mine started leaking on the passenger side tank that is crimped at the top.

[@barrybritcher]

what are the triangle things either side of the radiator, like covers?

I've owned "Bricks" as Volvos use to be called since 1990. In fact I just passed on my 1990 240 GLE Wagon 327,876 miles. That leaves me with a 1993 240 Classic #950 (runs, No Rust) and a 2004 XC70. I'm gonna sell the '93, just have to find the right Home for it. But what I was going to say was that from 1999 on Volvos have gotten harder and harder to work on. They didn't want you to repair anything the car...Buy New and Install

[@maciek4152]

Hello, do you think red (or orange) clips that keep plastic cover together with the fender are available separately? I need to disassemble two of my fender covers just to improve the glue connection and then put them back. I don't want to buy new ones because they are ok, just the glue connection failed over a length of several centimeters. And by the way, do you have any idea what kind of glue to use to join covers back with the fender?

My volvo xc70 2013 headlight washer was hit by ????? Lost the cap and nozzle head broken . The pump works and the nozzle comes out normaly. Would like to know if I can repair without taking out the bumper, if I take out the weel and the inside guard of the fender can reach the pump and the nozzle ??? Gerald from Montreal QC. Thank you for the good videos.

[@volvosweden]

To properly repair bumper needs to come off. It’s not hard. For how I would pull the headlights washer fuse so you don’t waste washer fluid

[@geraldmenard4134]

I saw your video and I hoped there would be an other way .Thank you. I will have to wait spring to fix it meanwile is there a simple solution , like disconnecting the right washer by unpluging the related swicht ??? @@volvosweden

Can I install the same mesh behind the grills if my car has adaptive cruise control radar ?

[@NikoKTM0420]

Hi Volvosweden. I saw your car is prewired for front parking assistance. If you want easily you can add front sensors. I bought second hand(sensors and wiring) from volvo xc 60, but volvo fit same sensors and wiring to s80, v70, xc60. When you install everything, you just need to visit your dealer for soft update.

[@gazdkw82]

What do you use on the black trim around the wheel arches? Also, have you had to fit the black trims closer to the body of the car? The trims around my wheel arches seem to be slightly away from the car

[@MarkBaker-f4c]

Can the black plastic section housing the fog light be removed/replaced without removing the entire bumper?

[@volvosweden]

Nope. The tabs have such a design that bumper needs to be removed. Otherwise damage can occur.

[@51exequiel]

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO! IS IT THE SAME OR SIMILAR TO REPLACE THE WASHER FLUID RESERVOIR OF VOLVO2007 S80? I HAVE ALSO BULB FAILURE POSITION LAMP INDICATING ON THE DASH BOARD ALTHOUGH ALL THE LAMPS ARE OPERATING PROPERLY. I TRIED TO RESET IT BUT IT KEEPS INDICATING. ANY HELP? FROM JUNIOR

A question about the washer fluid reservoir: mine leaks if I fill it all the way to the filler hose at the top. It then stops leaking when it sinks to a certain level. Any thoughts about that? Good video.

[@Alexander_l322]

Yes just don’t fill it up ;)

[@GymChess]

@@Alexander_l322 A late reply to a silly reply: well, there's obviously a leak if you can't fill it up all the way to the neck but I take it that you don't even own a car to know better.

[@Alexander_l322]

@@GymChess you obviously can’t read! I said just don’t fill it up, like stop when it starts to leak out and you won’t have an issue. What the fuck did you think I meant? I never said you don’t have a leak I just meant you should stop pouring when it starts to leak out so then it won’t leak. Idiot 🤣 and you’ve probably got a crack in the bottle or a leaky rubber gasket around one of the washer jet pumps. Yes I do own a car and I’m a trained mechanic 👨‍🔧. You’re such a twat🤣

Not sure. But you can always try.

Hi VolvoSweden will you sell the mess for protecting the grill also ? or could you give more info the one you used in your car? Nice job you did with Evgeniy!!!

It's from Russia. Shipping would be a headache.

[@robert91642]

Is it possible to install the black trim piece that's around the fog light without removing the bumper? My xc70 was in an accident and I've got all the other parts ready to install but the shipping of this trim takes more time than expected and I need my car to commute. So I was thinking maybe I can let my body work guy to install the bumper with the old, broken part and when the new one arrives, I can just switch it from outside. I don't care about the old part so I thought maybe I can remove it by breaking it apart. Is it possible or am I stuck waiting? By the way, great channel, loving every video! Keep up the good work!

[@MarkBaker-f4c]

Did you manage to replace the fog light section without fully removing the bumper? Appreciate you posed this question 5yrs ago!

[@janis6428]

Can U buy in Canada bumper cover all around in separate pieces? Cuz here at my closest Volvo dealer they sell only all set for 700+ euros

I was told by a body shop that Volvo replacement front bumpers come pre-painted. There's not a generic unpainted part you can order, as is the case with most car brands.

Price approx of the black cladding? I too have scratches from the previous owner... if not too expensive I may change it too. Was there no way repairing the damage using a wet sanding technique? You deserve 18+” rims one day...

Pro tip for when your going to change light bulbs or so: The headlight harness is long enough that you can just fold the headlight over. As the plug may be a bitch. I think you would cry is you saw me remove those bumpers 😈
