cleaning the engine of s70 t5 S70

posted by  someone claiming to be 1badt5 on  Tue May 9 06:29 CST 2006 [RELATED]

i heard that the engine with the t5 doesn't liked to be cleaned. anyone have suggestions on how to clean it? i thought i posted this before, but cannot locate it.

i used to always just cover the dist. and the air intake, warm the car up, spray degreaser then power wash off grime and such. but that was on normal american v8's before i got a volvo.

any suggestions and why would a volvo specialty shop tell me not to clean it? what could go wrong?

also, headlight connector on passenger side has deteriorated, cracked and broke, can i fashion one myself or do i need to get a volvo replacement.

have not decided yet to sell or not. i love this car...
