AWD not working. Need help troubleshooting.

Thank you JRL and Rockitship. I wish I knew someone I could trust to do the repair. It seems more often than not, no one does things like you would. Taking care to do all of little things that are maybe not "necessary" but should be done. Example, wire brushing corrosion from bolts, using never seize, using a torque wrench (Required! but how many do?) I talked to an Indy that specializes in Volvo. At this point I do not know his work and would hate for this job to damage the transmission!

Patience and following the steps would take you through.
The 6mm Hex screws would require a correct length extension. There is 25ft/lb torque on these screws, not much, but with a study hand over a wobble would help with angle.

You still need/should get the stored codes first (if there are any).
You may have a different issue in there

Good point JRL! No need for me to jump to any conclusion.

Well, I stopped at an Indy and asked for a quote, assuming angle gear sleeve. He would not quote without him doing diagnosis. Does this seem right? I worry about having it torn down in his shop and getting a quote I can not live with.
He does specialize in Volvo's but is an unfriendly guy to say the least!

My wife used to get intimidated, not anymore.
She felt obliged to fix it there.

He will not torn it down to diagnose.
Most likely he will look around and come back to you with estimates, costs ranging from low to high.
You do not have to fix anything.

Take your car home, like that.
It should be $65 - $85 at the most, but ask first!
Likely to leave something loose if they do not get the job, causing you to panic. Lol.

How to tell if collar gear only? have Indy remove and look over?
