Now that I have the car running again, I thought I'd try rebuilding the old starter. When I was looking around the other day I found this guy rebuilding a Bosch starter. Looks simple enough if you can locate the parts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b0lsoT2DYM Anyone know the part numbers and wher...

So I replaced the starter and it started right up.
Thanks for all of your help!

Remnants of the broken splash shield were still holding on. I replaced that too.

Neil.

I took a closer look on my 2001 V70 and there was a bracket on the back end. Maybe on the 05 it was lost at some point.

Not sure why Volvo did this change bc it is the same engine anyway...

Thank you for that info.

Pulled the starter out and did a bench test 12V Battery Positive terminal - to- Starter terminal 12V Battery Negative terminal - to- Starter housing 12V lead from Starter terminal - to - the signal post Basically like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6x2hIOtBfzE Nothing happens.

Can't recall, but does the 05 have the rear end of the starter mounted on a bracket like the P80's? I don't think so. The starter can get hung up on the dowel pin. If you can't just work it back and forward to break it loose, you may have to try a pry bar or a flat blade screw driver gently hammere...

wild guess, the starter got flooded, i'd bench test it. Thanks, I'm trying to do that now. The wires are disconnected, the stud bolts are out, but I have yet to be able to remove it. It seems to be stuck on the pin. I'd like to avoid hammering it off. It seems best to test it before damaging it. :)...

Try getting a wrench on the end of the crank and rock the crank a little. The starter might be jammed in the flywheel teeth. Maybe. volvolugnut Thankfully I was able to rotate the crank with no problem. And all of the accessories were freely rotating as well. No belt slippage.:) I then tried to sta...

Thanks for your reply Volvolugnut,
No the engine doesn't turn over at all, there is no cranking sound at all.

Thanks for your reply and suggestions Neil. I forgot to mention, that : - I did check the airbox, it and the filter were dry. Phew, although the car had been sitting for two days. - I also checked the oil dipstick, all looked normal to me. No water droplets and regular looking oil. I tried to connec...
