2006 XC90 2.5T AWD So here is an odd one. As the title suggests the fuel door locks only (but consistently) when instructed by Vida. Otherwise it's as though the computer forgets to lock the fuel door. No fuel door lock: - FOB central locking (even after +15 minutes), nor, - central locking on the d...

Hi Georgeandkira,
Do you have a link for the LubeGuard you are using? A quick Ebay search indicates they sell a lot of different varieties...
Where do you pick yours up?

Hi EngineeringBloke, As far as Aisin making transmission fluid it seems to be available at the regular online dealers. Here is a link to the one I purchased it from but others carry it too. FCP at least recommends it for the AW55-50/51 transmission. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo-transmissio...

Thanks for the input guys. So I ordered 12 liters of Aislin transmission fluid and the flush kit from iPd. I ordered the B4 Servo Cover Update AW55-50/51 as well. The born on date of June 2003 concerns me that it might be a defective part - at least 1 reviewer on the FCP site said that he had an old...

The pitch of the whine is speed sensitive and as such I suspect it is a bearing but I'm not certain whether it is the wheel bearing or the axle bearing. Note - the car has a replacement axle on the passen...

Hi everyone, I am ordering parts to do a steering rack replacement on my 1998 V70 FWD non-turbo. I am fairly new to this vehicle and am still on the front edge of it's particular learning curve. While I have changed steering racks before (Volvo 244, 740, Volks golf) I have only limited written resou...

Hi everyone, My 1998 Volvo V70 is leaking badly from the central gear on the power steering rack. While I anticipate having to change the steering rack ASAP I want to rule out any secondary problems. Without having previously paid any attention I have noticed now that the power steering reservoir is...
