Re: Where exactly is the catalytic converter

In fact I tried the same on our other 2010 XC90 and here the values seem perfectly fine. So I guess the reader works.

Re: Where exactly is the catalytic converter

With Cata clean, I bought myself another year. But now the code is coming back. I saw a lot of videos about fuel trim and the voltage measured on the second sensors. I am trying to make sense of the live data that I captured in the video below, but I can’t. For me both sensors jump up and down. But ...

Rear entertainment system issue

Hello all,

Our 2007 XC90 has the rear entertainment system which worked fine for years. Noticed today that the screen in the driver’s headrest does not work.

I don’t remember for sure, but we might have switched this particular screen off in the past in the screen settings. But with the remote I ...

Re: Water leak 2010 XC90

Found the culprit, as usual after a lot of swearing. Only when sealing off the drain with tape and having water standing, it started sipping through into the blower motor. There seems to be an internal seal within that black cover that allows some leaking through. Perhaps helpful for anyone who is ...

Water leak 2010 XC90

On the weekend we had some heavy rain. Next day greeted by a splash of water that was sitting on the door sill when opening the passenger door, and the carpet was wet.
Tested the sunroof drain and the drain around the air intake for the cabin air fan by pouring water in these areas. Both fine and ...

Thank you! Do you recommend pulling the throttle body of and then - probably - replace the gasket, or leave the throttle body on the manifold and clean it just from the outside?

Re: One way clutch or pulley?

I did the job on two cars.
On the first one I forgot to put marks, but when putting it together there was no play that I noticed in the bracket that would allow any alignment.

Now for the second job, I marked each and every screw and joint, but it turned out when I put everything together, as soon ...

Re: Spark plugs - what do u think

Yes indeed, two 3.2s. One at 111k (this thread) and one at 147k (the oil burner). Next is thermostat and manifold gaskets on the 147k, and now I am adding PCV to the list :)

Re: Where exactly is the catalytic converter

Finally found the time to start working on. Replace the spark plugs. Pretty shocked to see how they turned out, considering they were replaced with the coils approximately 1 1/2 years ago, when first one coil failed and then shortly after another one.

The photos show also the shaft of cylinder ...
