The wheel is off half a teeth. I tried moving it over a teeth, then it would be even more off, but this time to the right.scot850 wrote: 15 Mar 2026, 23:58 Are you sure the steering wheel is off? Check if the turn signals cancel at the same point when turning. It could be you fitted the wheel off by one or 2 teeth on the splines.

I found this post by cn90, which says which side tot turn tie rods.MoVolvos wrote: 15 Mar 2026, 15:00,Chieber wrote: 14 Mar 2026, 07:30 Spoke too soon.
I need an alignment. The steering wheel is off.
Had an alignment not even two months ago…
Maybe I’ll try turning the tie rods even turns and see if that works.
Just turning the tie rods evenly may not do the trick. Regardless which way the steering is off you need to measure the Toe to see if it's Toe In or Toe Out with the steering wheel centered before deciding which Tie Rod(s) to turn. Use trash bags under the wheels for less friction and with engine running when centering the steering for measurement. Depending if it's Toe In or Toe Out and which way the steering is pointed left or right while driving you can determine which Tie Rod to adjust.
.
Should be fine like this, not?

Chieber , I think the side marker harness drops from the top harness, not from the front. I grabbed a picture of it when I pulled one from a wreck yo make a 1998 ECT harness from it.

I have no idea where the wire for it is. Should it be coming from the front singal or is it from the door area?

Hello, long time lurker - first time poster.
I’ll keep it brief since I am just looking for information — I am missing ONE of the three CBV 10mm bolts which are required to replace the cover.
2/3 are accounted for, and the last one has vanished. Made sure it’s not anywhere in the snail, but I have had no luck locating. Tomorrow I’ll go to a junkyard to try and pull it from a P2 I saw today.
Does anyone know the measurements of those 10mm CBV plate bolts? (Pictured current state of CBV, with only 1 bolt in place)

Welcome fellow desert dweller -
It's been awhile since I've had one of those off, but from what I remember they are short; maybe 1/2" - 1.5 cm.
You could take that one that you see off, and match it at the local hardware store, but I'd inclined to just hit the local yard and grab that bolt, as well as a few other odds and ends.

The path to follow here is…
Use Volvo parts online website to pull up the turbo diagram and get the Volvo part number
Use Skandix.de who puts dimensions of Volvo part number hardware into the description, like m6x30mm
Having put these things back in under hood, I appreciate why you don’t want to remove one to match. That’s an ugly job of no space tooling.
