Hello! I was wondering if someone can help me with a part number. I have a 2000 Volvo C70 HT Coupe. I'm looking for the part number for the cable assemble that allows the seat to unlatch and rotate forward. This is the dual cable assemble that is located in the back of the front seat (passenger seat) that when you lift up the side lever or pull the strap under the seat it unlatches the seat allowing it to rotate forward (so people can get into the back seat). One side of this cable assemble had the wire cable break.

Thanks in advance!

 

OK, I went to the dealership parts department today and according to their computer the part number for the 2000 Volvo C70 coupe for the passenger side is 8613526. They had to order the part which is unfortunate but the part only cost $14.50 (first time for me finding a cheap part from the dealership!). I hope this helps people. It is a pretty straightfoward fix. My guess is that the S-hook that attaches the cable to the sheetmetal pivot bound up and didn't rotate through the motion. Each movement bent the cable at the attachment point eventually breaking the cable.

 

Update - if one side breaks do yourself a favor and order 2 cables. The are non-handed so just order 2 of the same. My other cable broke days after the first cable did. Oh, I actually borrowed hog ring pliers and bought some hog rings to re-attached the seat leather. Near impossible so I used zip ties instead. At first when I read about people using zip ties I said I "wanted to do it right". Well, after trying to do it for a few minutes I happily pulled out the zip ties and never looked back.

 

i don't know exactly the number
