2006 S40 upper radiator hose replacement
 

I am in the process of replacing the upper rad hose on a 2006 S40.


This is for a friend who lives 100 miles away. I buy the hose and toss a couple screwdrivers and pair of channel lock pliers into my car to go help her out. Well I get there and it looks like the whole damn engine needs to come out to get the upper hose off:mad: Thought it was going to be a 10 min job. I had to leave her stranded.


This is def not your standard rad hose replacement and I'm shocked I can not find any info on this? I was told take out battery, airbox, main brain, and the left clavicle......:eek:


Heading back down there Saturday, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure where you were having to remove extra bits?

Wrong year.
 

My bad, got the year wrong, its a 2006. Sorry
