Follow-up on spring seats, they do go bad, and to a greater degree on the XC90 since it's high and heavy. Relatively easy way to check is to shine a light between under the rubber washer and the center of the seat, look for obvious large cracks and tears. Can also take off the top nylon nut cover an...

There is another post by the same author on Swedespeed- https://forums.swedespeed.com/showthread.php?586341-2007-XC-90-Front-Strut-amp-Spring-Assembly XC90 has 3 springs and 3 struts called out, suspension code label (back side of passenger B-pillar) is key to determining correct fitment if this is ...

Excellent, can add solenoid intermittent wiring as another potential cause for the code. Thanks

Here are a few links, mostly related to leaking but if you can see significant in/out or rotation or note wobble when the hub is turned, the internals are probably compromised. https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=77613#p416042 https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.p...

Hub maybe, it's oil pressure controlled by the solenoid controlling the hub position, ECM maps the angle it wants the camshafts to be and reads the sensor on the back as a "loop". Loop is not being completed fast enough and the code is being thrown. If there's enough oil pressure and the solenoid is...

Once you have the threaded ring off, it'll be more intuitive. O-ring will slip off and on from the disconnected top, least that's what I recall when I had to go back a second time to properly clean out the channels and do a reseal after a sender replacement in 2014.

Someone on another Volvo centric site that does not play well with inline attachments was asking about XC90 lift and rest points.

Did all four tonight, won't lie and say I used the torque settings. Reality is that I cranked everything down as hard as I could by hand without feeling any hardware yield. OE was made in Germany, 0818 datecode so they're "fresh". 15mm/18mm open end for the nuts, T-40 hex to hold the threaded stud. ...

90/60, should have responded on the other post. OE front- Top is M12, bottom is M10 for front. Rears are M12 both ends and get torqued to 80nm. Have the set I wrote about on the other forum in my garage, put a caliper on them to check size. These things get cranked down pretty good so to me it makes...

Thanks, the immobilizer message was reported but wanted to confirm the scenario. Original battery in this car? OE from around this time should have a date-code stamp on one of the terminals. Car thinks there more than just the immobilizer at fault based on your original post, sometimes an old batter...

Once you tear everything down, I would be very interested in seeing photos, I've only personally gone down as deep as to pop the valve covers myself- https://goo.gl/photos/tcLSKkYEp6KqkbaR9

Good luck!

I would not run the engine further until it gets fixed, if the chain breaks you'll be replacing a whole bunch of other stuff. Engine SN out of curiosity? This...

When a valid key is turned in the lock, engine will turn over and not run or will not turn over at all?

Not many posts on 3.2 angle gear fluid replacement, any chance you could do a quick write-up on what and how you did it for the benefit of the forum? And where exactly was the hole, on the side or at the back? I know the 5/6 and the V8 layouts, but never crawled under a 3.2. Photos if you have them ...

Maybe best to do an image search for Volvo 31325886 or Volvo 36002052, lots of photos which show both of the locations. Not following the "blocked by metal wall" comment, a short section of the exhaust passes in front of the side fill hole and I'm pretty sure if needs to come off if you're doing a f...

Angle gears associated with the TF-80SC have the drain fill either on the back or on the side. My old angle gear in the V8 had it on the rear (fluid swap was a complete PITA, got scars to prove it). When I replaced with OE exchange in 2016 (new PN with some added parts), I noted that the drain/fill ...

Mobil 3309 and Toyota T-IV are the most commonly used replacement fluids for the AW5x and TF-80SC transmissions as far as I have ever used or seen. Other fluids are JWS 3309 compatible but these two fluids have been used consistently over time with good result. I have used the Mobil 3309 product for...

If the MVS cross-reference https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/volvo-1999-and-newer-codes is correct (no reason to suggest it’s not), and you have a portable copy of VIDA available, all the codes map out to a fuel-air mixture problem as RHP alludes above. Highly likely not the airbox (bottom rear of m...

Wheels bearings start to whine when they fail, easiest to tell which side if you go for a drive where there's some space and steer the car at the speed you hear the whine. Bearing with the problem often quiets down when you turn the wheel in the opposite direction (turn left and whine stops, check t...

Front or rear? Front needs axle to back out enough to get a socket on, couple of folks have done it in place but my couple of times it's been easier to take the strut bolts off and tilt the hub back and remove the axle stub. I do straps on the LCAs to pull them down, makes putting the strut bolts ba...

Per the Volvo documentation- Diagnostic trouble code BCM-C008217 is generated if the brake control module (BCM) registers that battery voltage exceeds 18 V. Diagnostic trouble code BCM-U012600 is generated if the brake control module (BCM) registers that there is no signal from the steering angle se...

No P-10108 for the XC90 that I can easily see. The closest thing in VIDA I find is the atmospheric pressure sensor (ECM-112/113), for MY2006 it's in the ECM I believe. The MAP sensor DTC would be ECM-125/126 which correlate to an OBD P-0238 to P-0240 as far as I can tell. For sure won't hurt to swap...
