I have done TCM Transmission Fluid Counter Reset on all my past Volvo's with Volvo Vida from a 01 XC70, 07 S60R, all the way up to a 2015 S80 with absolutely no problems at all. In Vida It is located in Transmission sub menu. BUT the 2017 & up you have to purchase the new 3day subscription directly from Volvo. That became a little bit more of a challenge & confusing for me. SO, with my 2017 Volvo S90 I brought it to Volvo to "Reset Transmission Fluid Counter", AND the Volvo Mechanic whom is on the younger side & extreemly Tech savvy said the 8 speed Volvo's 2017 & up do not hav ..read more

This is a nice-looking car, I love the seats. So the factory pulled his engine and replaced the pistons and rings?? iframe Statistics: Posted by BlackBart — Tue Nov 07, 2023 5:53 pm ..read more

Hi, well, can't find any reference on Vida to cylinder head, crank main bearings, big end bearings and lower block bolt torque settings, can anyone shed any light on these. Does the Haynes Volvo manual definately list these? Statistics: Posted by BryanInglis — Fri Nov 03, 2023 11:23 pm ..read more

I read that a clogged PCV system will create a vacuum at the oil dipstick tube. Under idle at maybe 1K, I get a mild vacuum. At about 97K miles, does this mean I need to replace the PCV valve? Or is a mild vac Ok? Thanks Statistics: Posted by azureblue — Tue Oct 31, 2023 12:23 am ..read more

Hi everyone, hope you are doing very well! I am facing a complex situation of coolant leak on my 2016 Volvo XC60 (D4204T4 diesel engine), situation that I will tray to explain it in another (long) post. But here I'm just interested in sharing a doubt about how engine fans have to work. Let me try to explain... - When I turn on the air conditioning, the 2 fans always start immediately, at a reasonably high speed - When I turn a/c off, they go to a slow speed after a few seconds, and very soon they turn off. In total they turn off in 30 seconds o less. - But with the a/c off, I don't see the f ..read more

I could not get a convincing answer when I was having the wheel alignment checked at the stealership a few months ago. The guy I talked to said something like ‘you seem to worry way too much about it’ so I just decided to refrain from commenting on that. I will try to find something from AISIN (there must be since they build these boxes for almost every other make) and will report back if successful Thank you for responding.
