The belt tension isn’t too critical , these belts go t jump time too easily. If the marks lineup, I would guess a faulty CVVt hub I might have a used one I'm never convinced that I've gotten the belt tension right, especially when it comes to getting the temperature indicator in the right place.

If it's coming on right when the car starts up, it might be the engine cooling fan, not the turbocharger. This can happen sometimes when the engine coolant temperature sensor is malfunctioning or disconnected, the computer will kick the fan in all the time to compensate.

When the ETM on my '01 V70 was dying, it threw a few accelerator pedal-related codes. After having the ETM rebuilt, the accelerator pedal codes went away, so I'm fairly certain nothing was wrong with the pedal or pedal sensor in my case.

Makes sense, because if you can smash a Volvo with your bare hands......

Just a few thoughts on the way I buy parts. I have a Volvo dealer with a great parts department about a 10-minute drive from both my house and my workplace. I can usually run out and back on a break from work with time to spare. The staff are friendly and helpful, and I get a small discount on most ...

The clean is almost blinding! Jealous.

This forum will not suffer because of this new FB group. So far, the group requires almost no time. If it does start to require my time, I'll appoint moderators to police it. It'll be a net gain. I'll cross-polinate ideas/DIYs if they don't occur naturally. I agree. I feel like the FB group and MVS...
