Folks - The Active Yaw Control Sensor (found under the passenger seat and carpet) is a very expensive repair whether you purchase a new unit or send yours off to be re-manufactured by Xemodex or BBA Reman or try to get a used one. Fortunately, I found that BCM (brake control module) codes indicating...

Since there's been a rash of questions on 2001 Volvos with this transmission ( AW55-50SN for FWD cars and AW55-50 for AWD cars), here's a sticky topic we can use to share notes and experiences. A highly concentrated AW55-50 info topic. After this topic grows, I'll unsticky it and roll it into Links ...

Mileage will droop,when the O2? Sensors get tired. 100k is a good time to replace them along with plugs too.

Here's my thinking on this. Do four transmission drain and fills and an adaptation and see if it improves transmission issues. If so, advertise at $1500. If not, advertise at $1200 and accept $1000.

If one is going to try repeated drain and fills in the hopes of cleaning out the valve body I suggest one uses SeaFoam Trans Tune and Valvoline Maxlife Tranny fluid.
