Re: Cherry Red XC90 D5 with 364,000kms

Those types of puzzles can drive a man crazy. Adjustment may never happen because I purchased a new car (my first new car) which is being delivered next week (I hope) What are you getting? Well Matthew, the Geely stable attracted me with ZeekR, Link & Co and Polestar but the Geely EX5 is what I...

Re: Cherry Red XC90 D5 with 364,000kms

Well I had such a nightmare getting the RHS cable through the tunnel. The ordeal spanned over several weeks where I would try to pass the cable through and have it come out outside the raised squared off tunnel. I purchased an inspection camera and still couldn't pass the cable. Turns out there's an...

Re: XC60D5 2.4L Twin turbo 2012

Search "P3 XC60 transmission fluid level check with Aisin transmission" You remove the centre Allen key on the drain bolt. The outer large 19mm hex has a tube which acts as a fluid guide level. When you remove the centre Allen (could be a torx, can't recall) the excess fluid will come out ...

Re: XC60D5 2.4L Twin turbo 2012

Thanks!! I sold it. Regret it. Just bought my first new car but it has no explosions going on inside. Taking delivery next week I hope. Someone wants the motor vehicle to have no heart and I fell for it. As far as I know just a turbo in there. Vida is all the books you need. Fluid in the trans is cr...

Re: XC60D5 2.4L Twin turbo 2012

The T6 3.0 is a beast!! Congrats!! You may just be able to run Vida 2014D (cracked version) with a Dice clone as this setup can see all modules and can perform activations such as solenoids on or off in trans or locks on or off etc.....extremely handy when fault-finding. The Vida software also has d...

Re: Cherry Red XC90 D5 with 364,000kms

I replaced the cables because this XC90 has 370k (kilometres) on the clock. Previous owner informed me that even the dealer couldn't adjust the park brake so I assumed the cables must be stretched. Thanks for the links I'll take a good look at them and get back to this when I have some more time 😄😄

Re: Cherry Red XC90 D5 with 364,000kms

Well I don't know about nice things anymore, especially owning this car I can only call "The Tank" It seems every Volvo I've ever owned has had me under the bonnet almost every weekend. Ordered some parkbrake cables and new parkbrake shoes from Alvadi in Estonia......I can't route one of t...

Re: Cherry Red XC90 D5 with 364,000kms

The eBay sensor was a dud. It made the car go into limp mode and it couldn't maintain more than 60kph unless it was on a flat surface. The car stayed off the road for a week until a decent one ordered through our local Repco dealer found a Goss part DP119 finally sorted it out.
