Probably the last thing you will want to do before reassembling the back interior is connect an OBD tool (either VIDA or a tool that displays live data), Have a passenger watch the fuel pressure as reported through CAN data as you do a hard acceleration/WOT up to highway speed. It should stay firm a...

Volvo goes full cryptic with short tease of '360c' Volvo says: looking waaay into the future with this one. Presumably a concept. They did hint fully self guided. Here's my guess... I see vertical fins. That's just enough to form an educated guess. I say flying car/drone . You know, the FAA, for ob...

Maybe cheaper to produce? Not likely. Probably a carryover from older MAF designs which were solid state analog devices. They updated the MAF itself with a digital SOC which would both tighten tolerances/accuracy between individual samples in addition to probably being more reliable than the earlie...

The MAF signal output is an analog varying DC voltage that can be measured with a voltmeter. However, I've never seen a chart or graph that coorelates that signal voltage to air flow in g/min that the ECU converts it to. Which puts you back to comparing with a known good sensor. It gets more complic...

My mechanic at the dealer said the original clamps with the metal backing have trouble with age. June Likely the rigid hose starts getting stiff/brittle with age and the clamps can't exert enough force to squeeze the tube adequately to get a good seal before stripping out. If the hoses are nylon-pl...

There's no liquid pressure return line on these, the pump is variable speed/output and controlled by the ECM/PEM. That's your evap vapor line. Just join the two tubes together with fuel tolerant hose/barb type connectors and hose clamps. I would use fuel rated RTV on barb connectors, especially on t...

Factory glass comes from Europe on cars assembled in Europe. On mine it is from Splintex-Italy with a Volvo logo above it. Glass from that manufacturer would now be tagged "AGC". Needless to say we can't get our hands on that there here in the states unless it's used glass off a salvage ca...

No mine doesn't have the UV/heat block option. I'm not sure it was offered as an option on the S60. Your windscreen with that option is likely to be more pricey. I'm not surprised it's upward of $1000 for dealer glass. Something to consider: dealer glass usually is same specs as factory glass althou...

I say lube - specifically a silicone grease that will stay put when things get hot. Such as Superlube Silicone formula. ***This could also be a symptom of resistance to ground, the solenoid would get 'weak'. It's one of the ring terminals on that side underneath the rear seat bottom (can't tell whic...

Between 69ragtop and Pilgar that's two MY06 2.5T blown engines from this issue popping into the same forum community over a very short time. There might be something to this. Suppliers such as FCP or IPD might consider helping to raise awareness by attaching a warning about this bolt to the product ...
