Replace the rotor. They have caused me and many mechanics to misdiagnose and throw parts at the problem.

They have a 2K internal resistor hidden by epoxy that breaks down under load.

Do cylinders 3 and 5 give better values with some oil?

You really need to read the car with a high end scanner or Vida/Dice. Rule of thumb with Volvos is they don't give accurate fault codes to low end scanners and the ELM327 adapters, though a ELM327 can usually clear 95% of codes on Volvos. I seriously doubt a pedal sensor as they have an extremely lo...

That's 16.2kg/hr which is pretty ideal at idle according to Vida.

1974 Chrysler (Dodge) Galant hardtop. I had converted it to a 2.6L Mitsubishi Astron with a 5 speed manual box. It weighed less than 900kg I had converted it to run face vents from a modified Lancer hatch console and switch gear (turn signals and wipers) were on one stalk from a later model. Quad he...

Hello friends it's been a long time. After a 3 year relationship with diesel powered Ssangyong products I'm back to Volvo once again. I had 2 Ssangyong Stavics or Rodeus as they're better known in US markets and a Korando. Nothing wrong at all with the Stavics; a truly great vehicle if people movers...

My 2009 XC90 has a loud humming noise that has been diagnosed as a bad rear differential. There is no leak whatsoever. Car has 110K miles. Repair shop is offering a replacement from a 191K mile car with no warranty. Ugh. Does anyone know where a more reliable replacement might be found? Or does any...

Yes Neil. There were 2 different Ford engines offered for the S60 and V60, a 1.6L turbo designated T4 and a 2.0L turbo designated T5 which debuted in 2014 in some markets where the model designation was T5. I believe this is where it gets a bit sketchy because the US market retained the 5 cylinder e...

After doing the drill hole and piercing of the trans I got a further 30k kilometres out of it before solenoid 2 totally failed (unrelated to the piercing). I ran a Magnefine filter inline with one of the trans cooler hoses and it was great. Then the heater core failed, then the ABS system was totall...

The accelerator position will usually come up on the list of faults, however I have never replaced an accelerator position sensor after working on quite afew of these early ETM cars. So many errors on these ETMs apart from the position sensors. In the pile of discarded ETMs I accumulated over the ye...

Found a one owner Cherry Red 2010 R Design D5 with country usage and heaps of promise. Nice paint and one small ding on a rear door. No back pressure from the oil cap when running and returned 7.2L/100kms (almost 33mpg) on the return journey home.......mind you I was nursing it all the way home due ...
