Re: Testing rear ABS brake sensor/replacing

Thanks, this was a couple of years ago and I must have replaced it because the light was out for quite a while. It is back on so you info might come in handy!

Re: Bought my first Volvo

Wow! you really ripped it down! I just bought an auction 2005 xc90 for $1000, but it had 218,000 miles on it and I eventually found that it needed $1500 in parts: 3 wheel hubs, 1 cv axle, 1 abs sensor, parking brakes, 1 rotor, and a parking brake cable, and loads of front end parts. The radio works ...

Re: Looked at a 2007 XC90 V8 today

How is the V8 engine and trannie rated? It's the V6 and trannie that are toublesome, right? On a lark, over winter,I bought a 2005 T5 FWD XC90 at auction for $1000 US (additional $750 auction fees :o ). 218,000 miles on it and defects were listed as "Runs, bearing defective". No option to ...

Testing rear ABS brake sensor/replacing

I would like to test the old ABS brake sensor, right rear, but I do not know where it is plugged in. I have the new wire and can see from the length of the wire attached to it, that it goes up under the gas tank. Is the connector under the rear seats? Or above the gas tank on the underside of the ca...

Re: XC90 2005 Axle Seal fit problem

I called the dealer for the o-ring and they gave me the part number #8632036. $6, and they have to order it. In next Tuesday. I went for it. I couldn't find it at RMEuropean.com, but another O-ring they had listed was about the same price and the shipping was $8, so the dealer is best here.

Re: XC90 2005 Axle Seal fit problem

I figured it out. Thanks for the feedback and advice. Yeah, the old axle shaft and the new one are the same diameter. However, in my inexperience, I was looking for a seal around the axle and now I realize that the seal actually goes around the moving sleeve that the axle goes into. What I thought w...

XC90 2005 Axle Seal fit problem

I just bought a 2005 XC90 FWD at auction for $1000 and the rear hubs were both shot. Really easy following some tips on the forum. So I replaced them for about $100 each and when I finally test ran it, I heard the CV front drivers side clicking. Not too much trouble removing the CV Axle from the tra...
