DIY 2005 XC90 Sunroof drain maintenance Old topic but once every 10 years, I'd clean this drain tube to prevent overflow of water inside cabin, causing expensive damage. Very very easy thing to do. About 10-15 min per side. TOOLS: - Small screwdriver - 8-mm socket and extension - Zip ties (optional...

I have used this on Volvos without issue (bevel gear, oil pan and cam covers): https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/BK_7651189 I have also used it on Audi, BMW, Subaru, Range Rover and VW. Make sure everything is clean and you should have no issues. It is the same stuff as abscate mentions - only in a Na...

The nature of any sunroof in any car... 1. The sunroof SLIDES to close. So the sealing is sideway between the glass panel and the SR cassette felt insulation. This is NOT a submarine hatch the closes tightly with rubber seal. Anyway, for standard sunroof, a small amount of water and dust gets into t...

ERO1, The 3.2 has variable valve lift on the intake camshaft. The lifting is actuated by a solenoid. I wrote this on the FREEL2 Board "the variable valve lift is 1, 2, 4 and 3, 5, 6 for Bank 1 and Bank 2" Dos that look familiar? Bank 1 is cylinder 1, 2, 4 The 3.2 is used by Volvo and by La...

I’m glad you were able to diagnose and fix the problem with the REM. The cam profile switching, I’ve never had to change that on my 3.2. I’ve changed solenoids, cleaned solenoids, and replaced seals on other Volvo engines and non-Volvo engines, but with proper oil maintenance, mine has never needed ...

That's the variable valve lift solenoid (round top) The rectangle top next to it is #1 ignition coil. On my P3 the motor mount bracket gets in the way of removal but on your P2 it look like you can just remove it. The motor mounts are different for P2 and P3. That makes it easier to fix just the one...
