Thanks velorider, I always appreciate it when people take a few pictures and share them. I've considered an inline filter for the transmission in my 2001 V70 since it's such an expensive replacement item (replaced not long ago) and the filter seems like it would offer extra protection and at a low c...

So starting with the TCV: Yellow/wastegate goes to the metal tube that's by itself near the trans dipstick. No check valves there. This one here: https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/download/file.php?id=22110&t=1 Blue/fresh air goes on the bottom of the tube right after the MAF on the fitti...

Thanks a ton! For real thank you matt5112

I have had a torn drivers side outer CV boot on my 94 850 Turbo for longer than I care to admit. Because it wasn't making noise, I was originally planning on cleaning, regreasing and rebooting the axle, but as I investigated replacement parts there seemed to be confounding information on the CV axle...

Damn good information, NL. Going in the Repair Database, this.

These things are not that hard to do with a good engine hoist and the car lifted enough.

Usually Volvo bolt...

When you see 'stage 2 xx degrees' it's a torque bolt http://www.volvohowto.com/volvo-s60-v60 ... s-2010-on/

Not sure on the XC90 3.2 transmission. But my work with the XC90 2.9T and XC70s transmissions I have worked on - one can reset the fluid counter and adaptations. I assume your vehicle will be the same - you will know when you get to the screen. My guess is it will be the same or very close. I would ...

It's exhibiting the classic T6 symptoms I read about- shuddering from 2-3 & 3-4, flares and getting progressively worse. Throwing no tranny codes. Local very reputable tranny shop drove it and said it fells very much like the torque converter. Fluid is clean. Definitely flushing and changing flu...

It doesn't matter what transmission you have - you should do a reset of the adaptations in VIDA. By way of analogy: Your TCM has been talking for many years and many miles with your transmission. They have their own "slang" so to speak. The fuzzy logic program has adapted to your environme...
