2010 Volvo XC90 D5 Executive Auto 4x4

Hi All,

Been a while since I've been on here.

Considering buying a 2010 Volvo XC90 D5 Executive Auto 4x4 with about 136k (km)on the clock.

Looks nice, wanted an XC 60 4 cylinder petrol but not sure on that's towing ability ( tandem trailer all up 750kg.)

Had a browse through the forum but came ...

Re: 94 960 Remove fuel tanks and engine swap

Thanks
Its a sedan.
If I do in situ, gotta make up wrench set up to undo ring.
My oil filter remover legs aren't long enough.
Sorry but I don't know how to the test.

Cheers
Kappy

94 960 Remove fuel tanks and engine swap

Sorry if this info is available somewhere, but I couldn't find any info.

My 960 has been sitting for a while unused a number of serious health issues but all back on track again and time to fiddle with a few issues. Also scored a 2nd 960 that has younger engine that mine and believe good fuel pump ...

Re: 1993 960 Really poor fuel economy

Yes separate coils for each plug.

I'm running iridium plugs, I read somewhere they may be a problem, I ran them in my Motorcycle for around 30,000km until I had some carby issue, swapped out to normal and better idle.

I noticed recently that that idle seems a little higher than normal, after ...

Re: 1993 960 Really poor fuel economy

I got hold of a pressure tester yesterday.

When I tested the pressure with key on was 40psi, when I turned on the ignition I observed the pressured was unchanged.

So i figure maybe the fuel pump is OK, so plan B.

Maybe need to test coils and test oxygen sensor as to why poor fuel economy.

I ...

Re: 1993 960 Really poor fuel economy

Today I changed the fuel filter, however I didn't see any fuel pump in that area.

I see a scraeder valve tank side of the filter.

Anyway prior to filter using an old and basic tyre pressure gauge (pen style) I tested fuel rail pressure at around 15 psi, fuel squirting everywhere.After filter ...

Re: 1993 960 Really poor fuel economy

Hi Mike mines a RHD as I'm in WA.

I will have to have a closer look, does the seat need to come out?

Cheers

Re: 1993 960 Really poor fuel economy

Thanks Mike
Oops don't know how I got this wrong, mine is actually an Oct 94 build.

Couldn't find fuel pump under passenger seat doesn't even seem enough room for one.

Doesn't seems as if extra pedal is needed.

What do I need to test fuel pressure,can I do it my self ? I live about 250 km from ...
