Car is a 2010 XC90 D5 185 with the Polestar software (205/450) that has been on there since new.

In the last two weeks ive been getting repeated ECM codes for MAF and Lambda signal too low errors,...

You are a star, thanks :)

Its for a project of mine (Alfa 166 Brembos) and the pins are impossible to find.... looks like these ones will fit! :)

Anyone know the dimensions?

Slider pins and rattle spring as fitted to the p2 V70R Brembos. Volvo part number is:

30645137

Thanks :)

I dont know how different the design is on the V70, but on the XC90its not in the way at all.

Plug it in, close the flap, forget about it.

It also makes for really easy access to do FW upgrades...

You can connect the Canbus extender via the OBD port.

I think you will need to connect the Volvotech via the OBD port then.

That V60 looks fappin fantastic.

Im a massive fan of the PiH too.

They can really, really shift when in sport mode.

The new MY14 cars really are very nice.

We almost bought one, but the local dealers couldnt be arsed to make a sale (which really pissed me off) and then a colleague offered me his XC90 at a...

Mine averaged 23mpg over the 10k miles I had it.

Mainly mway work, but always fast cruise at 80mph+ and I always hammered it away from the lights.

Not too bad, but I do 2k miles a month so I...

I also bought my 2000 X V70 T5 blind.

It went quite well for what it was, but I only kept it for 10k miles as the fuel bills were killing me and I was pretty sure there was some massive bork on...

I had a sticking rear calliper on my previous V70 D5.

A very common problem according to my indy.

It wasnt horrendously expensive to sort, but dont leave it too long as if it eventually jams on...

This is a review I originally wrote on the Volvo.org forums a while ago.

I thought some on here might appreciate seeing it.

Its a nifty wee gadget and its backed up by great customer support...

ELM cables will not work with VIDA,

It needs to be a DiCE cable/box.

You know where to get them from I am sure. Make sure you get a 4 colour LED model, and not the Blue only LED model (they...

Thanks.

I think the problem is/was with the filter housing, but noticed this and thought it was worth checking.

Perhaps a dumb question, but its worth chasing down all possibilities.

I have had some major oil loss from my D5, coming from somewhere on the front of the block.

I noticed this threaded hole...

Been a while since I updated the thread.

She is about to turn 164k miles now.

I was in England last week and took the opportunity for a bit of 'mechanical tourism' as apposed to the medical...

Indeedy - I gave the EGR mixer a clean in July..... ooh it was a messy, clogged up §§§§§§. I gave the turbo control valve on the front of the block a good clean about 3 weeks ago as well.

Thanks for all the help with the trouble shooting chaps.....

The car spends 99% of its time with me outside the UK, but im back in late October and its booked in at VolTech in Hull for new rear...

Some pics from on top and from underneath the turbo........

Clean as a whistle!

The 3 bolts are absolutely fine - toight as a toiger.

The heat shield came off easily, not sure it will go back on quite so well :)

I dropped a spanner down the back of the turbo, meaning I had...

Thanks for the pic, very kind.

Is the heat shield a pain to remove? Looks like thats the only way to get at those bolts, correct?

Hi,

Which bolts do you mean exactly?

The only bolts I can see when looking down from the top are the stud bolts that pass through the heat-shield........

Thanks

I managed to overwrite my previous reply with my last reply - doh!

Anyway, read the post above - I think you have explained it :)

I noticed I had a 'pending' code in the OBD for an incorrect MAF value - one of those ones where it doesnt illuminate the engine light unless its recorded X amount of times over X amount of engine...

An interesting one, which I would appreciate feedback on........

Ive just changed the top engine mount on my 162k miles D5 163. It was wearing an 'original' round type one and it was absolutely...
