WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Volvo S40, 2003 Volvo S40, 2002 Volvo S40, 2001 Volvo S40, and 2000 Volvo S40. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Install tool 9995753 at the rear of the intake camshaft.
Turn the crankshaft in the direction of engine rotation (clockwise) until the marking on the tool (In1/Ex3 ) is opposite the thin flange running straight over the entire top of the cylinder head.
Remove all plugs from the test holes.
NOTE:
If the crankshaft is turned to far, it is essential that it is turned back at least a quarter of a turn so that it can then be turned clockwise to the correct position.
