What is your current mileage and what are your current driving habits (around town, long highway trips, idling to warm up, ect)

It's for the navigation.

The front and rear diff's are open on these volvos. The ABS system steps in a little but it's not a substitute for LSD so in extreme circumstances it wont help much. It's really put in place for traction assistance in wet and and slippery road surfaces.

I have been trying to look for it, but on one forum, there was a post about a Volvo independent asking for help. Almost same symptoms as you are describing with a T5. He went the route of replacing the transmission and had the same results. It ended up being a broken ground wire. I would check all t...
