As with any vehicle modification project, the process will be easier, faster and safer for the engine, turbocharger and you if the engine compartment is thoroughly cleaned before you begin the project. Not only is a dirty engine compartment a mess to work in, but
a dirty engine compartment also offers the possibility that dirt and/or debris could be introduced into the intake tract of the engine.
A small stone or piece of debris falling into an open turbo inlet can cause serious and expensive damage to the turbo when the
engine is started. Even worse, the debris could cause a turbocharger compressor failure leading to pieces of compressor blades
feeding into the cylinder, possibly damaging valves, cylinders and pistons. An easily avoidable, but expensive proposition.
Wh
all tubes, hoses and the intercooler for any foreign objects or debris before installing.
1.1 Disconnect Battery
Before beginning any work on this installation disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. During the installation you will have
ba
your Volvo service manual for details and procedures on disconnecting the trunk mounted battery.
1.2 Jack Stands or Lift
Installation of this intercooler system requires placing the vehicle on a lift or jack stands. Please consult Volvo service manual
proper jack, jackstand and/or lift placement. Be sure vehicle is securely positioned before proceeding.

Removing Front Fascia (Nose Section)
Note: Before beginning any work on the vehicle the battery must be
disconnected and the AC system must be evacuated. See page 1 for
details.
The first step in the installation will involve removal of the front nose
section or fascia of the vehicle (Fig. 2.1). Attached to the front fascia
are the upper grill assembly, the front license plate and mounting
bracket, the driving light assemblies and driving light grills. All of
these pieces remain attached to the front fascia when it is removed
and only require that you disconnect one wiring connector for each
driving light assembly, one per side.
To reduce the chance of damaging the vehicle paint on the front
fascia and the surrounding bodywork, we recommend you have
someone available to help when you remove the fascia.
2.1 Remove Headlight Wipers
Before removing wipers make a note of the position of the wipers
(direction of arms) so you will reinstall them properly. Next fold the
wiper arm forward to access and remove the washer fluid tubing.
• Using small screwdriver, flip up cover at base of wiper arm (Fig.
2.2). Remove the 8 mm nut securing wiper arm. With the nut
removed, carefully grip the base of the wiper arm with locking
pliers as shown (Fig. 2.3). While gently rocking the wiper arm up
and down, pull the wiper arm off of the shaft being careful to not
damage the paint. You may want to wrap the locking pliers in a rag
to prevent paint damage.
• Repeat for opposite side wiper assembly.

2.6 Remove Front Fascia
Note: This process can be accomplished by a single person if you know
what to expect and proceed carefully. That said, it is much easier and
safer for the paint work if you have an assistant.
• Grasping the rear edge of the front fascia (at the wheel opening), gently
pull the fascia out, to the side, approximately .5”, to clear side clips, and
move fascia forward about two inches. Repeat for other side.
• With the front fascia pulled forward slightly you will need to disconnect
the two wiring connectors for the driving lights (one per side). These
are located on the inside of the front fascia, above the left and right side
driving light assemblies. Disconnect both harnesses.
• You may now completely remove the front fascia.
2.7 Remove Underbody Tray
Located underneath the radiator / AC condenser / intercooler assembly is
the underbody tray. It is secured by two bolts (one per side) and two tabs
(one per side). Locate the two tabs on the lower edge of the bumper cross
member, release the tabs and slide them out of their slots. Locate and
remove the two bolts, found at the outer rear corners of the underbody tray.

Removing Factory Intercoolers and Tubes
Note: For this step of the installation process it will be necessary to
drain the engine coolant. At this point you may wish to replace your
engine coolant, as well as radiator hoses. We recommend replacing
hoses if they have been in use for more than two years or 20,000
miles, as they can become less flexible and prone to cracking and
failure when handled.
The S60R utilizes two intercoolers, a large primary intercooler and a
small secondary intercooler, in the factory intercooler system. The primary intercooler is secured between the AC condenser and radiator
to form an assembly which is then attached to the radiator bulkhead.
To remove the primary intercooler you must detach the AC condenser and primary intercooler from the radiator. The radiator and AC
condenser will be lowered to extract the primary intercooler. The AC
system does NOT need to be evacuated form this process, though
care must be exercised when working with the various AC lines and
components to prevent damage.
4.1 Remove Secondary Intercooler
• Locate the secondary intercooler connection hoses on each end of
the secondary intercooler. Loosen all hose clamps (x4) for the left
and right connection hoses.
• Locate and remove the two mounting bolts securing the secondary
intercooler to the AC condenser (see Items A in Fig. 4.1).
• Remove secondary intercooler and intercooler connection hoses.

from front to rear). Remove intercooler inlet hose.
• Locate vacuum/boost port on intercooler outlet tube (see Fig. 4.1). Remove hose from port.
• Locate and loosen hose clamp securing intercooler outlet tube to intercooler.
• Locate hose clamp securing intercooler outlet tube to underside of engine intake manifold. Loosen hose clamp and remove tube.
4.3 Remove IAT Sensor Harness
• Locate the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor, located on intercooler outlet (see Fig. 4.1). Disconnect wiring harness from IAT sensor. Locate and
remove bolt securing IAT sensor to intercooler (T15 Torx bit). Carefully
remove IAT sensor being sure not to damage O-ring seal.
4.4 Drain Engine Coolant
Note: You may wish to replace your engine coolant and radiator hoses as
part of routine maintenance.
• Locate the plastic radiator drain plug/nozzle at the lower right (driver side)
corner of the radiator (see Fig. 4.2).
• Remove cap from coolant reservoir in engine compartment.
• Position drain pan and loosen, but do not remove drain plug. Coolant will

4.8 Reposition AC Dryer
Note: This step may or may not be required for your
particular vehicle. V70R model years 2004-2005 use a
larger AC dryer canister than the later 2006-2007 models (see Fig. 4.5 and 4.6). If your vehicle is equipped
with the smaller AC dryer canister you will not need to
perform this step and should skip to Step 4.9.
This step in the installation process requires repositioning the AC dryer (see Figure 4.7) by bending the
AC dryer bracket slightly. This procedure does not
require any special tools, equipment or techniques.
However, the bracket to be bent is attached to the
AC condenser and care must be taken not to damage the AC condenser during the process. Do not
force AC lines during the removal process.

The AC dryer is attached to the AC condenser with an
aluminum bracket. This bracket is fairly easy to bend
into the new position by rotating the AC dryer as shown
in Figure 4.7. The AC dryer will be moved approximately
1” when rotated from it’s original position. The before
and after positions of the AC dryer can be seen in Figures 4.8a and 4.8b.
• Grip the AC dryer canister firmly with both hands or
with a large pair of channel lock pliers. Carefully rotate AC dryer canister, bending the bracket as shown
Rotate
in Figure 4.7. Only the aluminum bracket should bend
within the bracket bend area indicated in Figure 4.7.
When the AC dryer is properly positioned Section A of
the bracket will be in line with the face of the AC condenser (see Figures 4.7, 4.8a and 4.8b).
4.9 Reassemble AC Condenser and Radiator
• Reassemble radiator / AC condenser assembly.
At each of the four connecting points position
supplied Radiator/AC Condenser Spacer between
the radiator and AC condenser and insert supplied
bolt and washer assembly into each corner of the
radiator /AC condenser assembly (see Figure 4.9,
Note: Spacer, normally black, is shown here in
silver for photographic clarity).
• On vehicles with larger AC dryer canister check
clearance of AC dryer to radiator. There should be
no contact between AC dryer and radiator, if there is contact, carefully
rotate AC dryer to provide additional clearance (see Step 4.7). There
should be at least 1/8” between AC dryer canister and any part of the
radiator.
• Tighten four (4) bolts to secure AC condenser to radiator.
• Return AC condenser / radiator assembly to original position and reinstall two (2) bolts securing radiator to vehicle (see Items B in Fig. 4.4).
Do not tighten these bolts until after step 6.2. Do not reinstall two (2)
bolts securing top of radiator to radiator bulkhead.

• Remove horns and original brackets. Locate and remove bolts
securing the twin horns in the upper grill opening. Note orientation
of horns. The horns are secured with one bolt per horn. Disconnect wiring connector from each horn. Remove horns and label as
“Right” and “Left.”
• Remove factory brackets from each horn. Secured with a single bolt
which will be used to attach the new horn brackets.
• The factory horns have a trumpet style shape and the opening of
that shape is in close proximity to the top of the new intercooler. This
proximity can reduce the effective volume level of the horns and we
recommend that you trim the horn trumpet slightly to allow for proper
horn volume.
Referring to Figure 5.3, trim each horn using a hacksaw.
• Identify new left and right brackets and attach to horns as shown in
Figure 5.2 (Left side horn and bracket shown, reverse for right side).
Tighten bolts. Note: Left refers to passenger side, right to driver side.
• Place horns into grill opening, behind power steering cooler and install using the supplied nuts, bolts and washers. Note that the horns
are now rotated 90º from their original position. Figure 5.1 shows
the horns in their new positions (power steering cooler not shown)
with mounting bolts for brackets facing up, rather than forward. Note
position of wiring connectors, these should face forward. Align horns
and tighten.
• Attach wiring connectors to each horn.

every six inches.
• Carefully insert exposed wiring harness into poly wire loom (provided with system). Secure ends of wire loom with tie wraps.
• Reposition fully wrapped wiring harness forward towards radiator. Harness will be held away from accessory drive belt and pulley by intercooler inlet tube.
7.2 Install Intercooler Inlet Tube
• Mark both ends of intercooler inlet tube with line 1” from bead (see Fig. 7.2).
• Position silicone reducer hose (2.25” - 2.5” dia.) and 2.25” hose clamp on
over-engine-pipe (tube running forward across top of engine). Position
hose clamp so it will not contact any surrounding components during
engine movement (approx. .25” gap). Tighten clamp.
• Position second hose clamp (2.5”) on opposite end of silicone reducer hose.
• Install bellows (hump) silicone hose (2.5” dia.) and 2.5” hose clamp on
Intercooler inlet (see Figs. 7.3a and 7.3b). Position properly behind bead
and tighten hose clamp (see Fig. 7.2).
• Position a second hose clamp (2.5”) on opposite end of silicone bellows
hose at Intercooler inlet.
• Install intercooler inlet tube. Both ends of tube will be inserted into the
respective hoses at the same time.
• Position tube so it will not contact any surrounding components, a .25”
gap should be sufficient to account for engine movement.
• When tube is properly positioned, tighten hose clamps.
Note: There is a small plastic tab located on the back of the radiator assembly,
for positioning a wiring harness, which may rub on tube. If it does rub, carefully
remove the tab with a hacksaw and file rough edges.
7.3 Install Intercooler Outlet Tube
Note: Tube is equipped with a port to allow for installation of Aquamist water
injection system. Remove port plug for use.
• Mark both ends of intercooler outlet tube with line 1” from bead (see Fig. 7.2).
• Install bellows (hump) silicone hose (2.5” dia.) and 2.5” hose clamp on
Intercooler outlet (see Figs. 7.4a, 7.4b and 7.4c). Position hose and clamp
properly behind retaining bead and tighten hose clamp (see Fig. 7.2).
• Position a second hose clamp (2.5”) on opposite end of silicone hose. Note
position of clamp (see Fig. 7.4c).
• Install intercooler outlet tube. Do not tighten clamps.

7.5 Install Hoses and IAT Sensor
• Reinstall vacuum/boost hose, attaching to hose boss on throttle inlet
tube (see Fig. 7.5).
• Using supplied bolt and washer, reinstall IAT sensor attaching to
mounting boss on intercooler outlet tube as shown (see Fig. 7.5).
• Reconnect IAT sensor wiring harness.
7.6 Recheck Clearances and Hose Clamps
Before proceeding, recheck all tube clearances. Also recheck all hoses
and hose clamps to ensure they are properly positioned to the bead
reference lines and are properly tightened. Be sure to check both hose
clamps at the throttle inlet.
At this time also check for any wiring harnesses or other components
that may have come loose during the installation. This is especially
important in the area surrounding the engine drive belts as any loose
wiring or component that comes into contact with this belt could be
severely damaged.
15 minutes spent looking for potential problems now can prevent expensive and/or dangerous damage later.

components of the front fascia and underbody tray. All trimming can be
easily accomplished with a hacksaw or cutting wheel and cleaned up
with a file and sand paper.
10.1 Trim Lower Grill Opening
To provide adequate room for the new intercooler it is necessary to trim
the back of the lower grill opening (see Fig. 10.1). Volvo has provided a
convenient trimming line in the form of the edge of the painted surface
in this area (see Fig. 10.2a). You will be applying a strip of masking tape
along this paint line to protect the paint and provide a cutting guide.
Overlap tape onto unpainted surface by approximately 1/8”. This will
prevent you from cutting through the painted surface and will prevent
paint from chipping during the cutting process.
• Identify paint line on lower grill area (see Fig. 10.2a).
• Apply masking tape to the painted side of this line, covering painted
surface (see Fig. 10.2b).
• Using hacksaw or cutting wheel, carefully cut along line.
• Clean up cut edge with file and sandpaper. The finished cut can be seen in Figure 10.2c.
