Note: to test the clutch pulley just try to move the serpentine belt with the engine off, it should move easily in one direction and it should lock up in the other direction (I can push on mine at the AC compressor, and it works as I described, the test take 1 minute to do)


Take care

I truly believe that all automotive engineers spend eternity in hell fixing the stuff that they designed!

Did you check the filter screen in the reservoir?

I have 2009 s80 t6. Have 206 k miles on it. The fluid is dark, smells burning. It has humming noise when you start and turns wheels. The real culprit was clogged filter screen.
