I had an itermittent tailgate open light. I began by removing/inspecting the latch and cleaning the microswitch. No help. I also had to replace two tail light bulbs the next week. I then got a "check brake light" and thought I better check the wire bundle at the left hinge. (Remove interio...

Alas, my English is not the best and I, unfortunately, could not quite correctly read the rules of the forum, if I did not follow them, I ask the moderators not to treat me strictly, but simply delete my message. Thank you for understanding. I'm not sure that the "light rays came together"...

If your crank as set at the timing mark you should be fine. From what I understand the crank timing mark is 20 degrees BTDC. See here for an explanation as to why: https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=72757 What you felt was the valve springs pushing the cam lobes as the cam was ...

The sound occurs only on hard breaking, hard reverse, and near maximum steering on occasion. In order of likelihood that's probably.. 1) upper strut mount/bearing 2) the upper spring seat 3) You reused the large strut to knuckle bolts, either they're not torqued tight enough or they're stretched an...

<r>Usually it’s the big black ground wire has busted as seen below, left side tailgate hinge area. I tried to read Ryann’s post but didn’t make it through. <br/> <br/> Make sure after you put in a new section of wire that the bundle is routed correctly. Improper routing is why these break in the fir...

Update: three days of hard driving and washboard gravel roads and highway driving totalling 1200 kms and all’s well! No vibration, leaks or strange noises. I tried to put the welded sleeve through it’s paces to ensure it wouldn’t fail and it held solid. I feel with this setup that there should be no...

This is the Banjo from my 2002 2.5ltr XC70 (part number i think is 8653884) it has a very small diameter hole that i can pass wire though. There is no ball bearing/slug or anything that can come loose and destroy your engine. It has 01-02 stamped on the head. I believe Volvo fitted defective bolts t...

To find the resource to investigate this do I just look in the main PCV replacement instructions? Or is there a guide for this particular part (don't have a need to do full PCV service atm) I've replaced the banjo bolt with the latest design and it's supposed to have 2014 stamped on the head of the...

I wanted to follow up here as well regarding the banjo bolt. Mine was the old style when I did my PCV job last summer. I cleaned it out with carb cleaner and didn’t think twice until I saw what it could potentially do if the pin and ball came out. I was already getting prepared to replace my alterna...
