Belated Happy Mother’s Day to my favorite Volvo roller, June!

I thought the same thing..(after it ignited fuel in the exhaust sytem) pulled the plugs..yep..nope..compression zero..I am assuming what you suggested is exactly what has happened..timing marks above are aligned as they should be but number one is not on TDC..damnit I believe the engine this one rep...

Had me confused there for a bit. Thanks June.

The compressor is variable displacement. The evaporator in the case has a temp probe that reports air temp about 1 inch from evaporator. The climate control module gets this signal and then sends a signal to engine control module to request high, medium, or low compresor functioning. The engine cont...

Moms house, three doors from mine....aka another place to store Volvo’s.
