IPD's Ken Pruett takes a moment to show you under the hood of a late model Volvo.  Sometimes maintaining your car isn't as hard as it might seem.  Watch Ken as he covers Volvo ignition coils, what fluids to keep in check, and some simple tips to keep your car properly maintained.

In the way of a basic Volvo tune-up, a lot of people are intimidated by newer cars. Most people think or feel that what's under the hood is higher tech and therefore is more robust for your average do-it-yourselfer. It's considerably more accessible than working on some of the older cars. It's just so simple that it's silly to pay someone else to do it. So let's go over the standard systems that you would go through on a basic Volvo tune-up. Afterward, you can decide for yourself if this is within your grasp or not. 

Just about everything under the hood is relatively easy to access. We've seen that people are intimidated because there are covers over almost everything.

Its safe to say then that if you know where everything is you won't have any problems. We'll be going over exactly where everything is in the video above.
