Volvo DIY Manuals?

I'm having a heck of a time finding a Chilton's or Haynes manual for my 2000 Volvo V70 - they seem to stop at '98/99 model year. There is a manual that appears for the european version but I am afraid it won't be US Specific enough.

Whiskey tango foxtrot?

Even their web sites don't list books of more recent volvos - am I missing something?

Bad day on the internet for me?

The first thing I do is buy Helms service manuals. They make R&R books for dealers.

they usually cover every single part on the car, electrical, tranny, etc


somewhat expensive to auto supply store books

You need to stop by and see :-)

I used to use manuals for my cars all the time. Now I just Google the problem or the part I'm interested in and Voila.

Usually I learn a whole lot more than is in the manual-
