Its been awhile since I've had that car in front of me. I got out of the volvo scene about 5 years ago after being very heavy into it. The best thing I can tell you is to join a volvo specific forum such as sweedespeed. I made good contacts for new parts (cheaper than ebay) on the forums. Also another thing you can do to learn is start going to the self service junkyards. Volvos unfortunately are disposed of too early due to expensive mechanics and parts. At the self service yards though, it doesn't matter if its a hyundai or a volvo, same price. It is good practice since if it breaks, you can walk away.
