CEM is part of the long term emissions warranty. On my '04 it is for 8 years and 80K miles. Worth checking into. Read your warranty booklet to verify, not sure if it is different year to year.
Just to reiterate. Even an '04 (where 1/8 a rev of wheels spin is needed to transfer power) the result is seamless power distribution and power delivery. You can't tell that there is 1/8 a rev of...
I think that some of your AWD systems aren't working correctly. I have an '04 and it should not have the instant traction of the '06+ cars. The '04 allows 1/8 of a revolution of wheel spin before...
how about jumping the car using the recommended jump points.
They are in the engine compartment. You don't need access to the battery. Read your owners manual and it'll show you how.
To check the mechanicals of your AWD do the following:
Jack up one front tire and have someone rotate it by hand (car in neutral). while they are rotating it look underneath the car to see if the...
The one I used was about 3mm. It was flexible rubber/plastic too which help me to finagle it in and get it into the bottom of the housing.
There is a o-ring kit too that you may need if replace the pump. Also two tubes of the AOC Haldex oil.
Can't comment on whether or not that is your problem. Sorry.
The collar gear/sleeve is always engaged with the splines on both the tranny and bevel gear shafts. The damage you see in the photo is from a single catastrophic failure when the shear strength of...
I've done the repair myself, it is not too hard. I lucked out in that it wasn't the bevel gear itself that was bad, it was the collar gear (splined sleeve) that connects the tranny to the bevel gear...
I looked for an adapter for months that would fit the Euro 7-pin round harness. I found nothing. Here's what I would do if I were you. I'd buy the Volvo harness that you need (with the appropriate...
It is possible to remove the CC unit (enough to clean it) without disconnecting any wires. I would recommend this over anything else. From the back side you should be able to see the fan for the...
Just go take it for a drive. Then area where you won't cause an accident do 4 or 5 moderate to hard stops from 45mph or so. To properly calibrate your foot, "hard" equates to just a little bit less...
If the driveshaft spins, your bevel gear is fine. It is however possible that the sleeve that couples the bevel gear to the tranny is stripped slightly. If it were completely stripped the...
That is bad! I just drove a 2400 trip in our '04 V70R with 4 people in the car, and a ton of cargo. We also had the Thule roof rack on, with ski's and snowboards on the roof (which I would expect...
To test if the angle gear is working properly do this test:
Jack up a single front wheel. Then have someone rotate the wheel (car in Neutral) as you watch the drive shaft (the one that runs...

It's not that the ECU can't keep up, but rather that the ECU has a series of parameters established for the various sensors. Exceed those preset parameters and the ECU will declare the signal...
I concur, it looks like an exhaust stud. As mentioned, check the exhaust manifold, turbo flanges, downpipe areas....
Most wiper blade icing problems can be reduced by keeping the windshield cool. Avoid using the front defrost setting unless absolutely necessary (if you must use it, do so with cooler air). This...
Give the junk yards a try. There is a really large system of interconnected junk yards (auto recyclers), they have a database of parts from all over the country (here in the US).
Beyond that,...
If you can get the CV joint separately then do it. I had a torn boot on my right shaft's outer joint. It was a fairly big job, but doable. It is no more involved than removing and replacing an...
It is normal for drive shafts to have some movement inline with the shaft (1-2"). Shafts should have no play perpendicular to the shaft's axis.
Yes all of the jobs can be done at home. I agree with the above poster, start with the upper engine mount, it is easy, but does require a set of torx bits/wrenches.
As for the brakes, they too...
I've had a new square one for about 10K too, and I have scuff marks on the drivers side of the new mount as well. I think that it is just the way that mount works. I've looked at it closely and do...
