My 2nd attempt to reset parking brake at adjuster failed after a complete overhaul of rear brakes, replaced hub assembly.

Our P5s are now under the owners' care. Starting this topic under XC90 for its wider followers makes more sense. Getting started with our awesome 2020 V60CC -- now 60,000+ miles -- needs rear brake service. Here is my parts list for rear brake service: - ATE ceramic brake pads - Zimmerman z-coated 3...

Well, There is a rule somewhere called "Right To Repair"... I am surprised no one sues Volvo yet... https://www.ncsl.org/technology-and-communication/right-to-repair-2023-legislation This is an interesting link, thanks for posting. Upon a short read, it looks to me like there's basically ...

I replaced an exhaust VVT on my T5 at about 150k miles, maybe 175k miles? At 300k , they are certainly well unto their lifespan. Use a piece of hose to isolate the noise to the hub with the timing cover off to confirm the diagnosis. I would only replace the noisy one, not a quiet one unless you are...

MVS_XC90_6191.jpg The rear brakes needed an overhaul. It took forever to pull away the rotor after releasing the parking brake as described in VIDA. There are 7 critical bolts on each side - 4 for hub, 2 for caliper, and 1 for axle. VIDA says to use new bolts. Hub by FAG; and rotor and pads by Bosc...

Your failing air-intake will cause serious driving condition; no steering and worse if engine shuts off.

You want to remove pipes and hoses from MAF to turbo. Fix the problem before next drive.

Remove engine brace and mount to access the pipe at turbo.

The parts for heater core service are:
- Heater Core O-Ring - Silicone IPD
- Heater Core - Magneti Marelli BR427
- Volvo OE # 30767252

Any thoughts on hose clip and o'ring -- aftermarket vs OE.

TIA

Thank you for your DIY, cn90. I'll use it this week. Our 2013A XC90 with 170K miles can use the replacement service. There is strange smell when the blower is running on heat, unbreathable with windows up. It dissipates with the fan turned off. Does a failing heater core takes longer to warm up or i...

We recently retired our 2001 V70XC and as a result added this XC90 to our family - comfort and drive like never before.

Please let me know what to include in my to-dos as it will reach 100,000 miles in next 12 months.

TIA!
