Volvo V70R Intercooler System

/ Installation Manual

4.5 Disconnect Radiator Hoses
• Loosen hose clamps securing upper and lower radiator hoses to

radiator.

• Disconnect upper and lower radiator hoses from radiator. Remove

hoses completely if replacing with new hoses.

4.6 Remove Cooling Fan Assembly
• Locate and remove two (2) bolts securing cooling fan assembly to

radiator. These will be located at the upper corners of the cooling fan
assembly.

• Disconnect fan wiring harness.

• Lift fan assembly to disengage two (2) mounting tabs near bottom of

fan assembly.

• Carefully lift cooling fan assembly from behind radiator, being sure not to

damage radiator cooling ﬁns or core when extracting the fan assembly.

4.7 Remove Primary Intercooler
Note: The AC condenser, intercooler and radiator are lowered togeth-
er (see Fig. 4.3) before removing the intercooler. The AC condenser
is not completely removed from the vehicle and the AC lines are NOT
disconnected during this process. Care must be given to ensure the
AC lines and connections are not damaged during this process.

• Locate wiring connector on AC condenser, on passenger side,

attached to AC Dryer (silver canister). Disconnect connector.

• Locate and remove the two (2) bolts securing top of radiator to

radiator bulkhead.

• Locate the four bolts connecting the AC condenser, primary

intercooler and radiator (see Items A in Fig. 4.4). Remove the two
upper connecting bolts. Remove the two lower connecting bolts.

• Locate and remove the two (2) bolts securing the radiator to the

vehicle (see Items B in Fig. 4.4). Carefully lower radiator, AC con-
denser and intercooler into position shown in Fig. 4.3.

• Carefully separate AC condenser and radiator from intercooler and remove intercooler. It will be necessary to extract the

intercooler towards the top of the AC condenser and radiator due to the various AC lines. Exercise care to avoid damaging AC
condenser and radiator ﬁns during this process.

4.8 Reposition AC Dryer
Note: This step may or may not be required for your
particular vehicle. V70R model years 2004-2005 use a
larger AC dryer canister than the later 2006-2007 mod-
els (see Fig. 4.5 and 4.6). If your vehicle is equipped
with the smaller AC dryer canister you will not need to
perform this step and should skip to Step 4.9.

This step in the installation process requires reposi-
tioning the AC dryer (see Figure 4.7) by bending the
AC dryer bracket slightly. This procedure does not
require any special tools, equipment or techniques.
However, the bracket to be bent is attached to the
AC condenser and care must be taken not to dam-
age the AC condenser during the process. Do not
force AC lines during the removal process.
