Paul, xheart
Thanks very much for the tips!
Ill report back when done.
Currently replacing the rear main seal on my 91 780 Coupe....not much fun....XC90 is next on the chopping block once I finally receive some wayward parts in the post.

Thanks Paul. I just wanted to confirm it was possible. I assume you have had no issues with belt misalignment? I noticed that some people online have referenced a step by step procedure somewhere to complete the belt change. My VIDA is pretty sparse on the details and disjointed in terms of an overa...

Ok....about to do the complete package on a 2010 xc90.
Do I need the alignment jig for the A/C bracket before attacking the one way clutch?
Any tricks on maintaining the alignment without the jig upon reassembly?
Thanks

Patrick

Here is what I would prioritize 1. Idler Pulley 2. Tensioner and pulley 3. Over Drive clutch for serpentine belt 4. Serpentine belt 5. Thermostat 6. Small coolant hose and O-ring (from heat exchanger to engine block) 7. Anti Drain Valve in oil filter housing 8. Coolant hose that failed for a 3.2 ow...

Justtellme - wondering if you have any updates you could offer. My XC90 is behaving the exact same way as you describe yours is/was. Have you identified what is causing this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Hi, I ended up replacing the coils and plugs and thermostat hoping the problem ...

Just doing some more research today. Not sure my symptoms follow the Volvo client complaints regarding the valve body ive been reading about across all Volvo sites. (Mine happens between 3/4 ( sometimes 2/3) shuddering but only when at full operating temp and after 15/ 20 mins of driving and only at...

My shop said a new valve body is $1000 to buy which I confirmed and s complete rebuild $3000. Yes, that sounds about right. A genuine Volvo reconditioned factory transmission around here is $3880 CDN ($2800USD)+tax ( I think this is exchange) A genuine Volvo valve body is $1500 CDN or about $1150US...

Sounds good! I have very similar symptoms....just started last week.though my manual shift seems fine and it only starts to happen when fully warmed up. Mine is a 2010 3.2L with 210k km with much highway miles.( brought it with me for three years in Europe running the Autobahns and autostradas) I wa...

Hi.....looking at Tasca Volvo online and using xc70/2004, it shows this lower control arm as a valid number having been superceded by a newer part number. (36051004) See below. I bought this for my 2003 xc70 a few years ago, but traded it in before I got around to installing it....should fit 2004 xc...

It's exhibiting the classic T6 symptoms I read about- shuddering from 2-3 & 3-4, flares and getting progressively worse. Throwing no tranny codes. Local very reputable tranny shop drove it and said it fells very much like the torque converter. Fluid is clean. Definitely flushing and changing fl...
