Other than them two items every thing else seem more than fine it's recently had a new angle sleeve new clutch, new injectors,new alloy Intercooler and new 3" do.

Going to get the alloys refurbished as they are due

Also there's a shed load of unused wires in the boot so need to trace them and investige what they are actually for here a few pics
Here's the first

Yeah will do colin I'll also take a pic of the thing in the arm rest

[jamesy12345]

it was supposed to be one of those things that you connect an iPod to in the arm rest? iMax or something I forgot the name. A playstation 2 was mentioned in the paperwork maybe some of the extra wiring is to do with that??

I think John had a build thread on t5d5, have a look for that. I'm pretty sure that I remember something about him adding a digital TV tuner.

Ref lock stops, One of mine has the 5mm spacers fitted to the wheels to stop the rubbing and improve the steering lock, it's not one I drive often but works ok.

I'm having nav issues on the project s60r pops up every time the car is started, not sure why though

I too have thought about fitting 5mm spacers i will see how much the lock stops improve it first.
Our sat nav used to pop up but then i found the shut down in the menu and been fine since.

Looking forward to having the wheels done as there well over due but keep thinking about going for a set of 18's only thing is the ride is incredibly smooth with the 17's

[Ettienne]

I prefer the 18s look myself, in comfort there not too bad.

[Harvey]

The difference 17 to 18 is noticeable even the wife can tell.

[Ettienne]

I just prefer the look of the 18s, I've had 17s before and didn't like them as much.

Now the project s60r had iPd springs, that's a whole different experience, ok in small doses lol

Mine does that if I don't power the sat nav 'off' FIRST before switching the car 'off'.

If I start the car then switch on the sat nav......then power it 'off', it lowers and then the Sat Nav remembers the last state it was in. Switch off car and restart, Sat Nav stays down!


Even if you're missing the remote, just power off the Sat Nav first before switching off the car. If it then pops up on the next restart, I would try an RTI reload at your local dealer first. Cost will be about £80 (RTI software is part# 9438400 and costs £42.60 + Vat. Labour is around £25).

If that does not fix the problem then you'll need to send it away for a new PCB. (Cost around £180 for the PCB....£275 if you have to have a new screen also.)

Unfortunately, if you have to send it away for a new PCB, you'll need a software reload at Volvo again before it will work on the car's control's/remote.

I would first check to see if you have any RTI**** fault codes stored in your CEM, as these will be an indication of any RTI faults. Including COMMS faults between RTI and CEM.

Managed to get a few little jobs done tonight
First was to find the water leak looks like new radiator time so will price a new one up at volvo

I'll give it a go and check with vida (thanks), all 3 have nav but I never use them.

Is there a way to get digital Tv on them?

[Harvey]

Looking at the bolts holes I don't think they are cracked but when they were laser cut they cut through to get a clean hole..

This was my new down pipe Before fitting.

The headlight wipers it's worth a look to see if they are plugged in as if bumper cover is removed you need to unplug them .

Also on the fuel filter on the plastic fittings I put a bit of duck tape over them to stop dirt getting into the fitting, with any luck easy to remove next time .

[Harvey]

Volvo only sell one radiator now which is the one for the auto cars as it will fit both auto & manual cars.( It got the oil cooler for the gearbox )

[t5 pete]

Cheers for that Harvey looks like they should be there on the down pipe.
The wipers are plugged in and also I did indeed the wiper arms and 're position them in the correct place but as soon as I started the engine then dropped down again.

[Ettienne]

At least radiator is easy to fit.

Is that the one you had fitted to your car I have had a little look around bit was advised to only use a genuine one as the alloy ones are not supposed to be too good pfv sell

The volvo one was £240 list + VAT I got it from FRF £192 + VAT but to be honest look at a hella one it's got 2 years on it lots cheaper, I only got it as I found it leaking a couple of days before Tim fitted one of his intercooler.

also have a good look at the lower hose as it can wear at the P clip on the gear box.

I wasn't sure where my leak was so just got the hose incase turned out to be a good call,

did you remove the arms then ran them so they parked then refitted the arms ?

[t5 pete]

That's certainly a big difference in price Harvey just done a search for them

[t5 pete]

did you remove the arms then ran them so they parked then refitted the arms ?

Yes but for some reason they just went straight down again the wipers must have been disabled as they do not do any rotation when screen wash lever is applied

[Harvey]

The wiper motor is different on the R, the lead with the plug on is longer but you can fit standard S60 ones if you just move the wire a bit .

[LeeT5]

To reset wipers is easy.

Just undo the 8mm bolts and remove them. Them lift wiper stalk to wash screen, this will automatically move the headlight wiper motors and they will stop in the correct position.
Then refit and tighten the arms and 8mm nuts.

Test. :)

[Gold 'N' Brown]

And finally is there any thing on Vida where I can set the position of the head light wipers and switch them on I looked through a old thread on this car and looks like John switched them off some how


Dunno about Vida but on mine I disabled the headlight wipers by pulling the fuse (because one of my wipers has seized and was making a constant loud buzzing). Downside being that the fuse is also for the adjustable leveling (mine are halogens so manual leveling). Might be worth checking if the fuse has been pulled on yours - it's in the fusebox on the drivers side end of the dash, you should be able to determine the correct one from the owners manual (but I'm sure you already know that :D).

[LeeT5]

(Sorry Pete, I never read all the post, just your reply from my email on my phone....I'd not seen that you'd already tried the reset Harvey suggested, then I suggested.)

After checking the fuse/s Gold'N'brown suggested....(though, I'd have thought they wouldn't work at all if this was pulled or blown)...I note that your saying BOTH wipers are dropping?

VIDA or software does not control these wiper motors, they only have two wires connecting them - Earth and a switched 12v feed.

To determine if the motors are at fault:

Remove the 8mm nuts, washer pipe and pull off the wiper arms complete with blades.
Bonnet open, unplug the wiper motor (behind headlights) and using a power probe (do not use a length of wire unless you have a fused link - if the motor is seized, you'll blow the wiper control fuse in the fuse box!) establish which side of the plug is switched feed by checking the feed from the plug on the cars side not the wiper motor side.

Check you're getting a good earth from the car supply plug to the wiper motor plug.
Check you're getting 12v switched feed for about 4-5 seconds. If you are, then power and earth are good and the fault lies within the wiper motors.

The readings should be the same for both sides.

If you're not getting a 12v switched supply then your problem lies in that circuit and most likely controlled by a relay.

To check the motors is simple. Now you know which wire supply is earth and live, just shove the power probe into the live side and switch on......the motor your probing should then oscillate continuously.


If both you're motors are doing exactly the same thing...ie dropping down, then it's likely you have a relay fault but I'd do the simple checks first to rule out the wiper motors.

I just unplug mine, the things are next to useless I'd rather have the pop up spray like on the facelift non R models

[htomi]

I had similar issue with my PS wiper and it was a faulty motor. Got a used one for £15 ish from ebay and since everything back to normal. The motor was from a standard V70.

Here is a good article about the wiper motor repair and why these fail:
https://www.fcpeuro.com/blog/posts/how-to-repair-a-volvo-headlight-wiper-motor

Regarding the spray nozzle, AFAIK cannot be fitted without customization.

[Doingitsideways]

Might sound daft, but the headlight switch is in the "on" position isn't it?

Seem to remember they don't work if the switch is in "0"
Just like main beam won't stay on unless the switch is turned to on.

Could be wrong, like.

Just sounds like they're trying to park at ignition on, which is what I would have thought they'd do even with the headlights off

Honestly haven't a clue tbh with p2 settings, on the old t5s the wipers just work regardless if the lights are on or not but will be trying it with the lights on.
Then failing that I will be doing Lee's method

I'm sure the P1s only work with the lights on, the 850s probably have bits of string you have to pull on to make them work. ;)

[kmb]

It's the string that makes them 100kg's lighter hence so much faster :nut:

Lighter but less aerodynamic, so no faster. ;)

[LeeT5]

I can confirm that the wipers do work when your lights are off!

Like I said, they are not software dependent.

Must admit it rides superb I had thought about 18s but tbh I'm more than happy with 17s

I have 17s too and like how they feel and ride.
Personally, while the 18s looks nice, I would not dare to use those on the £££ Irish roads....

Then the PCB is fried.

You can sent it off to Marcus for a replacement board. Cost is way cheaper than a new unit.

New timing belt kit
New haldex filter and oil
New key and programming

Still got to wait for the r cover on the fob as they had forgot to order it but still took my money at least there posting it out.

Next on the list is a new rad got my first red triangle message today low coolant

And second on the list is find why is rubbing badly when turning left on the drivers front wheel new lock stops fitted but that isn't the problem as it's rubbing further up in the arch above the metal plate and starts doing it from about 40% of lock

[stribo]

Are you doing the haldex filter yourself, I got our indie to do it, and even they struggled. How much is the R cover? Last time I looked they were about £12.

[Harvey]

Hope you a coffee or too while you waited ,

Of course I am, nearly cried at the dealers today having to pay them to do some thing.
Tbh I cannot remember the exact price but there's a £19 some thing on the bill so I assume that's the cover

I certainly did coffee, hot chocolate and double chock biscuits had to get my £250 worth for a key lol

Radiator changed today so no more having to top the coolant up.
Only issue I came across as no where does a manual radiator any more is they are slightly wider making it harder to get the intercooler hoses on so had to slightly trim some plastic to make sure it was a good fit.

I've brushed my teeth this morning thank you
Lol I'm assuming your meaning in regards to the wheel cleaner its a product from high definition detail I was really impressed and that's the results with just the hose pipe no pressure washer

And the new parts list

PARTS LIST
X2 1 way valves - part no 9485451
Wiper blades- part number 31457763
Fuel flap hinge
Spark plugs
Air filter
Top engine mount poly or genuine ?

[LeeT5]

And second on the list is find why is rubbing badly when turning left on the drivers front wheel new lock stops fitted but that isn't the problem as it's rubbing further up in the arch above the metal plate and starts doing it from about 40% of lock

When you're sat in the car with no passenger the right hand front will squat slightly more, especially if you're a big unit ;), this will definately cause excess rubbing in the arch. Coupled with normal spring sag and poor alignment. There could be excess wheel camber on the right side more than the left.
I would take the car to an alignment center and have them check and adjust with YOU sat in the car.


Did the haldex oil and filter today nice easy job to do the took all of 15min on ramp
http://i595.photobucket.com/albums/tt39/t5pete/20170521_123239_zpsh3ljx9wi.jpg (http://s595.photobucket.com/user/t5pete/media/20170521_123239_zpsh3ljx9wi.jpg.html)

That looks disgusting! Clearly it's never been changed. If I were you Pete, I'd use the recent Haldex oil change as a flush and drive the car for 100 miles then do another oil change with another filter. You never get 100% of the oil out, so when you drain it the second time I bet it's totally black again!?




And the new parts list

PARTS LIST
X2 1 way valves - part no 9485451 :B_thumb:
Wiper blades- part number 31457763
Fuel flap hinge
Spark plugs
Air filter
Top engine mount poly or genuine ?

I'd go Poly but not Powerflex. I'm guessing your top mount is the later square type? There's just too much movement in those tops mounts for my liking, they're too slack. You could out the alloy bush holder and change it for an earlier round one? Loads on eBay and then you'll have more of a choice of bushes to try in the round ones.
I currently have an Australian Superpro bush but it was needed as it's slightly softer than the Powerflex yellow due to my Top mount rear bush being PF Black series and the mounts on the strut turrets are solid alloy IPD brackets!
If yours are still stock, then I'd go straight in with the PF yellow square mount. You won't get any engine vibration. I definately recommend stiffening them up though and fitting the PF purple bracket bushes. They remove about 80% of the engine brace play without compromising engine vibration.

To be honest, In my experience, you've gotta play around a little with the engine mounts as no two setups are the same and everybody's opinions are different.

I can tell you that I have absolutely no engine vibration and a solid engine brace. PF black series small rear top mount bush and Superpro blue front top mount (Round) bush.
It's a big improvement with a hell of a lot less engine movement, no excess vibration and great throttle response with smooth gear changes.

[t5 pete]

Cheers Lee
Yes that's another thing on the list is the alignment I need to replace some bushes on the rear so once there done I will go get it done.

Yes the haldex filter will be getting flushed out again shortly I will disconnect the prop as I believe I've read some where that they need 're greasing the joints so while that is off I can also remove the pump and clean the screen on that.
The next time I order from volvo I will also be getting new diff oil while I'm there.

I noticed pfv do two types of poly bush one yellow and the other
Purple also they can come with a new mount do most people with the square mount just normally replace it instead of pushing the old bush out?

As for the strut brace I also need to address that as it's very slopy and has way too much moment

It's not a strut brace as such, and they're all like that from new.

"If you have visited a website recently that displays images hosted on Photobucket, or are embedding images hosted on Photobucket on your own, you may have had a rather rude awakening one day as Photobucket decided to block these images from being displayed on third-party sites......."

Yep total ££££s all my threads are now ££££ had a big up date for the 240 but whats the point now im towing to understand flickr never been good with computers

I said they should have just charged a reasonable fee, but $399 a year most people just won't pay it .
I've just cancelled my photobucket account been paying for it for a couple of years but not any more..If they are removing the links.

Ide gladly pay a fee but there having our pants down with that price

the above link is pointing to your photo album = photostream on flickr.
You'd need to go a step further and enter into the album, click on the picture and then copy the BBcode.
the correct links ends with the .jpg

hmm...... do you have a free flickr account by any chance? That's the only difference I can think of. I have a pro account and I can link any of my pictures individually.

My account is a free one and I'm still ok.

As a precaution, I'm downloading all my albums from their website and backing them up.

Absolute @rseholes.
As for the $399 per year, they can stick it up their @rse.
Something like a tenner a month, people may have been able to stomach. But that's just taking the piss as far as I'm concerned.

All Pete's Gul thread will be ruined too now.
My account seems ok at the moment, but it'll come, I'm sure.

Forums are already on their knees these days with Facebook groups attracting a bigger and bigger share. Sadly this may be one of the final nails in the coffin for many.

Yes Lee, you should do a backup, your topic can be ruined easily if this ££££ aproach by p£££bucket will be enforced on all registered users...
However my comment above, was to point out, that Pete might have a free Flickr account and the functionality I've described earlier isn't available for him.

More to this, it seems currently Flickr is one of the viable solution for those who want's their pictures linked to third party sites. At least Yahoo/Flickr has the proper technical background to support the significant load increase on their servers. For how long that's a billion dollar question...... Additionally, Verzion is on the way to take over Yahoo...

Just tested and seems 500px also supports the linking even with the free mbrship.

Go to flickr Pete, just as easy to then post pics up, I'll make you a vid of how to do it and send it to you if you like, providing the net keeps working here as we have been having massive issues here lately.
