Oil Trap / Oil Separator R&r (1999 S80 T6)

[AlexFWD]

Hi,

My mechanic said he noticed the black box known as the oil separator is leaking. He suggests that he remove it and replace it. I'm a do it yourselfer so I got the parts at the dealer's. I asked him for the printed procedure but he said it doesnt exist. A volvo mechanic told me I had to remove the intake manifold to access the black box. Is there any way around that? Any tricks of the trade someone can share with me?

Thanks in advance
