Engine is out!
Once I had everything disconnected I dropped the front as low as I could on stands. Realised I'd need to remove the bonnet, bit of a pain because I know it'll be a bugger to align later.
Nasty oilyness under the cover, plugs 3-5 look pretty wet.
Again it came out pretty easy, I think the XC90 has a few tighter areas than the S60 had – bit more bulkhead intrusion I think.
And again, the biggest pain was removing the downpipe. The heat shield is in the way from the top, despite my best efforts couldn't move it out the way. And those bolts are in tight. One of them sheared in the turbo housing :angry:
Anyway, on to the fun stuff, though not looking forward to lowering an engine back in – it's going to be a challenge!
