Almost Easter and still haven't switched back to the all seasons I have. Turns out I'm just lazy. Oh this also does not put me in good light but my low washer fluid message is still yelling at me. The Blizzaks are top winter tires but are known for wearing scary fast in warmer weather over 10C-15C ...

Thank you all. On my 2003 non turbo, when I removed the belt, the non VVT exhaust cam rotated by itself 1-2 teeth clockwise. I then put the new belt first on the intake cam, then on the exhaust cam - and the exhaust cam moved back by itself and the marks got aligned. So I understand as long as the t...

At 12.3v it means there is no voltage from the alternator, so you are actually reading - and driving on the battery alone. So the alternator doesn't work at all OR ALSO POSSIBLE the cables from the alternator are damaged. Also look around the engine at the grounds, like the rear one www.youtube.com/...

When it does so, look at the rpm needle, does it move along with how the engine is 'trying' or does is stays at 0 ? You can grab a crank sensor from the junkyard for $10 and put it in there yourself. If he wants to remove the transmission, ouch. The sensor bolt does get stuck and the bracket has no ...

You just need to leave out the right upper section. Don't think it's a problem

There's two readings With the engine idling, you should see between 13.5v-14.5v (take or leave). This is your alternator voltage With the engine off, disconnect the Neg (red) cable at the battery, let sit 30 min, then measure between the battery posts - you should get at least 12.3v, better between ...

I wouldn't be surprised the immobilizer would cut the power to the ECM.

Technical question here, in the official Volvo procedure for timing belt replacement it says, After aligning the timing marks " Turn the crankshaft a further 1/4 turn (90 degrees) clockwise and then back again until the markings correspond. " I understand this will "unload" the VVT hubs. What is the...

The one under the crank pulley goes bad quite often, more so if the subframe is lowered for sm reason
Were the main mounts liquid filled ? On diesel engines these are actually vacuum mounts and regular wear item

Could it be the CEM has lost the key programming and it doesn't recognize the key chip ?
