SO! Lets add insult to injury. Volvo ALSO decided to NOT index the VVT sprockets to the damned cams. That is right. They are held in place by torque on the damned nut and nothing else. SO unless you have the correct VOLVO brand tool to lock it in place, you are kinda screwed. Here is what I did ...

Just figured it out. For anyone with the same problem, you need to make a jig to hold the 3 holes in position in a perfect triangle. Or buy volvo's tool.

This is what I am looking at:

As you can see, it is just a hole on the bottom, like a tiny peep hole, but when I rotate the crank, I see nothing to anchor it into on the other side.

Bump! I still need help!

Hello all. I have a major problem with an XC90, 2005 AWD T5. The wipers act on their own, without any regard for the controlls. They turn on, they run a few seconds, they turn off.
