S60 Turbo PCV (breather) system replacement S60 2004

After several unfruitful days of combing the web for any instructions on replacing the PCV system on my S60R, I decided to give it a go with the scraps of information I've pulled together from notes on this particular job on 850's and earlier models of the S60 (NA). The new S60 Haynes manual provides little to no help on this topic so I'm throwing this up to help anyone who decides to tackle this job. I have not completed the replacement yet so input from veterans of this job is appreciated.

I bought the following parts from FCPeuro.com for this job:

9458534OE 1 x OE Intake Gasket $13.18
30650578 1 x Breather Tube $164.95
MH10 4 x MH10 Hose Clamp $4.00
8692217 1 x Crankcase Vent Hose $24.99
8692211 1 x PCV Oil Trap $35.95
8653339OE 1 x OE Crankcase Vent Hose $5.96
30677388 1 x Crankcase Vent Hose $33.50

I also bought a few more hose clamps from the local auto parts store (20-32mm x 9mm, 12-22mm x 9mm, 30-45mm x 9mm, 6-19mm x 9mm) just in case.

The breather tube wraps around the engine underneath the intake manifold so you MUST remove the intake manifold to access it. So far, I've had to remove the following just to access the intake:

- strut brace
- OTE/charge air pipe
- Air box/AMM

Intake removal seems tedious but rather straightforward. Remove top mounting bolts; LOOSEN lower mounting bolts; disconnect dipstick, power steering fluid line from intake manifold.

I began pulling the apart the connections of the old breather tube when I learned something about it......the breather line is cooled by an adjacent line connected to the cooling system. When I pulled the upper hose of the breather tube (connecting intake manifold to head), coolant began flowing. So I reconnected the hose until I get something to plug the nipple.

The other end of the breather tube assembly connects on the other side of the engine (underneath top motor mount); to access this end I had to move the wiring harness [remove top engine cover, disconnect ignition coils, etc.].

Now I need to go back to the store to get zip ties for the wires. Updates to come!
