I don't have a T6 (mine's a T5) but I remember when test driving a T6 that there was a definite supercharger whine when compared to the turbo only T5. T6 owners can probably be more definitive though.

Anyone now know the answer to this question - what temperature should the transmission level to set at? I found videos that indicated 50C but wanted to verify from people who might have access to Volvo documentation before I start the drain/fill job

I see this post is a year old so wonder what your resolution was. So I'm posting this perhaps for the benefit of the community. I have had intermittent rear position light problems with the message 'rear position light malfunction'. This occurred after one torrential thunderstorm. Both my right rear...

Just wanted to close this thread out. I successfully changed the timing belt, water pump, idler and tensioner with the help of the suggestions and information from this forum. I did it with my son so it was also a good bonding/learning experience for him. I did use the rear cam lock tool as suggeste...

I'm 99% sure I'm looking at the right cam sprocket marks. In any case none of the cam sprocket marks correct or otherwise align with the timing cover grooves when the crank gear marks are aligned so I'm jst going to ignore than and make my own marks. I'm just going to go ahead and use the rear cam l...

Thanks ericv11 Yes, I was referring to the 180 degree out of phase as the two positions when the crank is rotated once. In the two positions (seperated by 1 crank turn) when the crank marks are aligned my factory cam sprocket marks are nowhere near the cam cover grooves and are misaligned from each ...

Thanks for all of the information. I'm now in information overload. In answer to the question, the engine is a B5254T2. cn90 - thanks for all of that definitive information on VVT, cam seals etc. Its helpful to understand how the VVT works in concept and if I very do attempt cam seals etc it will be...

Thanks for the quick and helpful replies! Much appreciated since I'd like to work on this tomorrow! Made some progess: To Chrism's question: The old belt is in place. The car runs well and has for several years. No check engine light (except when one of the coils went bad!). And yes, I can't get bot...

I'm doing a timing belt/idler/tensioner/belt/water pump replacement on a 2005 XC70 2.5T. I've done this job on my other son's V70 so am familiar with the overall procedure but have questions as I get into the same job on this car. I know there are loads of threads about timing belt replacements and ...

I have several jugs of Pennzoil Platinum 5W30 full synthetic oil (made from natural gas) which I bought for another car which I no longer have. Can I use this in my 2005 XC70 (150k) and 2006 V70 (200k)? I read somewhere that this oil is intended for newer engines of lower mileage - I'm not sure if t...
