Re: 2008 v50 Clicking noise under the dash...

There is a software upgrade that may fix this. Along with blend door motor calibration. It may be a bad motor, or the armature has fallen off, or something is blocking the blend door.

Re: 2005 S40 TDC or Gear marks for timing belt

I don't believe the cam gears have a timing mark. You are supposed to make your own reference mark with a sharpie before taking the belt off. If you didn't do this, you will have to get the cam lock tools to index the cams from the back.

The crank gear top dead center for sake of engine timing is ...

Re: 2001 s40 noise coming from wheel after i did my bra

Is the noise there when driving? Or just stationary? Have you applied the brake pedal and parking brake multiple times since replacement? pads may not be seated. Or the backing plate got bent and it's rubbing on the rotor, causing a squeal.

Re: Wobble when accelerating

I have had bad tires give the same sensation of warped rotors. Pulsation during braking. Geometry changes under braking. Then the choppy edge of the tire would hit the pavement.

Re: 01 V70 T4 fuel gauge out + position light + Catalytic Co

Nothing here is urgent. Fill your tank often since you have no way of reading the level. The response from the dealer sounds like a typical used car dealer blow off. You will at least need 2 new oxygen sensors first, The catalyst is harder to determine. You need a new gauge cluster. That will take ...

Re: S60 intermittently wont start unless starter jumpered

For those of you still having trouble, Check for a loose/corroded connection on your starter solenoid single wire spade connector.

Re: 2001 V70 Crank no Start

Morganbryane: That condition is normal. If the pump ran during key on engine off the fuel would have no place to go. It will activate for a second when key is turned on. And then promptly shut back off.

Nautic: I don't see how replacement of that J hose will cause your condition. If your evap purge ...

Re: 2006 s60 code PCV nipple?

If this is a turbo, the nipple is part of the piece that the banjo bolt goes through. Take the bolt out and you will see a small hole in the assembly. That is the nipple. Also could be clogged air passages in the block where the oil trap box connects. Or a leak at that connection.

Re: Ignition Key Won't Release

It's usually a broken plastic piece of plastic on the shifter assembly. Remove the bezel from around the shifter and look for a cracked yellow cap on the left side. It has a cable running thru it from the ignition switch. It is serviceable.
