Airbag service procedure was "a thing" because the manufacturers thought that the airbag chemicals would lose their effectiveness to explode with time. They thought at one time that you would need to replace the airbag. The chemicals in early bags were developed to power rockets and needed...

That fuel system only needs to know closed throttle and wide open throttle. That is what the two switches do. Something costs what you will pay. Are you sure it is bad? I think I have replaced one many years ago and it was for corroded terminals in the connector.

Turbo has cooling lines with rubber connector hoses. You also have the heater lines that run from bell housing down and behind to the firewall to go inside to heater core.

i had several XC60 models as company cars 2010-2018. I own a 2010 T6 R Design. The 2.0 4 cylinder Drive-E family engines have 8 speed automatics. The t5 ersion with AWD will jump off the line and stay neck and neck with the 5 cylinder 2.5T/ 6 speed auto in that car the brief time they did the 5 cyli...

Actually the drive E powertrain came standard with a 7 speed transmission and a optional 8 speed. At least through the 18 year models. June There was never a 7 speed auto. There was TF80SC 6 speed launched with the V8 in 2005, P2 R models beginning 2006, then 3.2 inline short 6 cylinder in 2007. P3...

Volvo PoleStar tune is the dealer offered perf tune. Check prices of Hilton and others and then go talk to the dealer and see if they will get competitive. I have a 2010 XC60 and Polestar does wake up that already alert engine. No harm to MPG on highway but I damn sure can't tell you that it helps a...

The stops on the lower control arms can make that noise too. when full turn is reached on the outside wheel (one turned into wheel opening at front) there is apart on the lower control arm that acts as the travel limter. It should have plastic over a metal bar. The plastic can break away and the met...

2015 VIDA has a live vehicle details area that allows the build data of the car with all its features. I know of no other way to get the info. The Volvo dealer service advisor/service greeter (not sure what you call the service guy in OZ) has VIDA that allows this on his workstation.

Just requires VIN. Type it in vehicle profile field and click "Vehicle Details". There is more than one tab there. Things like variant attributes, options, and a couple of others.

VIDA instructions do not have you wait long. The wait is key off befoe you disconnect neg lead. This allows any network activity to cease. Your car has one teeny bit of network between ECM and TCM. The SRS module is purposefully made to power down quickly as that is a safety for emergency responders...
