    Trans temp

    I did the same. The temperature never came up to 80C. It was about 50-60C on the freeway, increasing to 60-70C when I got back onto city streets.

    Transmission fluid level vs VIDA temperature

    I'm trying to fill my transmission to the right level.

    I don't have VIDA, but I know it can read and log transmission temperature (as well as ambient temperature). I'd like to know the normal...
  3. '06 rear wiper blade replacement (rubber only)

    I'm cheap and didn't want to replace the whole blade or arm. It turns out that you can pop the blade off and disassemble it enough to replace just the rubber element itself.

    Lift the arm and blade...

    "Calibrate" struck a chord. I turned both sides all the way up and then all the way down. This seemed to reset the range, and now both sides work normally.
  7. Driver/passenger heater balance not correct

    The heater doesn't balance driver's and passenger's temperatures correctly, although it used to in the past. If both sides are set for the same temperature, say 72, the passenger's side will blow...

    Most of the cross-section has failed in fatigue, a small crack at the right side growing due to repeated loading until only 10-20% of the area remained. At that point, the remaining area (the rough...

    The only thing that swings the mirror back is hitting something with it - there is no sensor.

    As to repositioning the mirror every time you get in, just position it once, then reset your...

    The tailgate unlocks reliably with the driver's door button, but not with the fob. I can always hear the mechanism work when using the fob, but...

    On these Volvos there are a number of other things that can cause low oil pressure, as you have addressed, but a fundamental cause can be excessive main/rod bearing clearance. Big bucks.
