It may be a while before I have a chance to install the new Pressure Sensor. The torque screw has the head stripped out so I will have to use an easy out to get it out. That requires that I remove the motor mount to gain access. The instructions are not quit up to what I need, as it shows using a engine holding mechanism while removing the motor mounts. Not sure how I do this as the mounting point I see is attached to the motor mount. So I will look at this in a couple of weeks when I return from vacation. I hate these torque screws as they seem to strip out too easy. Of course when I look at the official instructions, they show tools that I don't have. I need to add to my tool chest. I may have to use a cut off tool and remove the pressure sensor and then attempt to remove the screw. If I do this and don't succeed, I will have to take my other Volvo a 2003 V40 from my teenagers and use it to go to/from work. Sometimes I regret being a home mechanic - but then again - how much would I pay a professional mechanic to do the job? So, I will move forward and get my spare car running properly (1992 Buick Century) so that I can work on my car without worry about it being out of service.
