I bought the neglected Audi S8. Lets see how bad it is.
Did the car sound different like if it was overloading alot? Or did it just lack in power? Because I have the same engine and it sound like a supercar turbo and lack in power.?
@@jonathan6034 sound was the same. But there was definitely the lack of power. The sound could be also for different reason. Like leaking air pressure pipe.
I have XC90 2.4 D5 from 2005 and is on 517 000 km.
I have a few Volvo's, 1974 144, 740T with the HP kit, 740 wagon, 1999 S90 Royal and a 97 C70 T5 plus a 00 V40T :-) I've had a lot of them over the years but the C70 is truly evolutionary when it comes to Volvo and it is a huge step up and I believe the beginning of Volvo being cool for younger generations. I was always a Red block guy but the early Black badge models really surprised me and I fell in love with the practical beauty of Design/Form and Function.

Nice video! Were all your sensors broken or did you just decide to replace all of them?
@@fransvanderwel5933 thanks. mine had 2 broken, but decided to replace all.
Its great to see a XC90 V8. Nicely done video. I recently bought one from 2009. It has a few issues and would love to see what all work you would do on it to get it road worthy. Mine has quite a few issues and has already done 340K, but I plan to keep it for long and use it as my daily driver. Also which is the best place to procure the parts from and is it ok to run it as a 2WD in case there is major issue with rear differential and would it make a difference in the mileage. I am in Dubai currently, just to give a understanding of where I am and how convenient is it to get this vehicle fixed in this region. Thank you once again.
Hello. Thanks for the comment. :) I was procrastinating and not getting my hands on xc90. But now I am back from vacation. Need to do couple of bits to xc60 so it is fully sorted and then can get my attention to xc90. It needs some work to be done. :)
working on one 71 nice bodywork and paint👍
Great choice for restoration. Great guy! Good luck with the assembly, hope it goes easy! Also, some of us would have given up upon delivery, so much rust😱 Can't believe the shell looks like new now!!! Need to improve on the video quality and maybe sound, and i believe the channel is destined to grow with such a cool project!! All the best
@@rbivns well yes. It was in a sorrow state. But look at it now. 😃 And thank you for encouragement. And comments. Yes sound is on the list. What would be better video quality? Better content? More detailed repair instruction. Suggestions always welcome. 😃👍 thanks for comment. It means so much and is much easier to improve when having constructive feedback

He he. Thanks. Friend brought it to me from US.
my wife just got a xc60 so I am looking forward to seeing you fix this one. So I know what to watch out for.
A Volvo buyers guide would be nice!
Allright. Let me see what I can do about this subject
I have an 07 v8 with277,000 plus miles and still going I probably know more about the xc90 v8 than a Volvo tech any questions ask me 🙏
I’d love to see the shaking issue fixing
Hi What is the price please?
You need to agree on the price with supplier. I has for one, you will agree on other one. Depends where you are and what are your needs. I was talking to several ones before buying this.
Hey man, replaced ignition coil, distributor, distributor cap, rotor, crankshaft sensor, mass airflow sensor, and the wire from the stributor cap to the ignition coils. Still not starting. Any ideas?
Do you have spark or not? If not then need to verify that ecu and coil gets power. If not then issues in wiring or then it could be that ecu (engine control unit) is bad. But that does not happen often.
Do you have fuel pressure? If not, the fuel pump relay is a common failure point. On 940s it's usually located on the fuse block behind the center console ashtray in front of the shifter. Pull out the ashtray and remove the tray above it (2 screws behind lighter cover trim).
fuel pump relay or the injector relay, on red block engines the injector relay is called the radio relay, its mounted on the pass side strut tower , theres 2 identical relays, just swap them and see if that works. i think the other relay is windshield wipers. you can open relays and reflow the solder, it cracks due to heat / vibration, its a common problem.
First mistake is getting old.
😂👌🏻👍 or you can call it getting tired of laying down on concrete floor
Good luck with those bad boy lifts 🤞🤞🤞🤞
Thanks. 😃👍
Im not sure i would want to trust myself under the car with them hydraulic ramps, your a braver man than me. I hope there is a lock off position should hydraulic fail? Good vlog. Thanks😳😳
Yes there is a lock. That what I mean. While working under it you can lock both sides so in case hydraulic fails it stays up. To be honest it looks to be built from quite hefty and thick metal.
The V8 in the XC90 is the best sounding V8 I've ever heard. I've had mine for 4 or 5 months. My daily driver for the last 20 years has been a 454 cubic inch Chevy 1 ton crew cab long bed 4x4 (yes, American)but these V8s have the best sound! Very balanced. Mine is an 09 with 200k miles. It scares the crap out of me because this is not a car I will be able to work on myself and in the US any Volvo repair or maintenance is extremely expensive. It's not as bad as it was in the 90s or the 2000s but it's still a big deal and I'm guessing that's why used XC90s are so cheep in the US. Americans are probably scared of them. I'm not rich, so I am scared too. Anything Chevy I could fix myself with no problem but I've already seen simple things on my XC90 get real complicated real quick. For instance, a simple thing that's been driving me absolutely nuts is the gas struts on the rear hatch have broken out of the hatch on the upper end. Come to find out the upper hatch is fiberglass...and the lower is metal. For the life of me I can not figure out a way to remount any style of upper ball fittings to the fiberglass pillars of the rear hatch. I can't even figure out how the threaded inserts have held that heavy hatch up all these years in the first place. It looks like the inserts were held in the hollow fiberglass hatch pillars with some type of adhesive that has the consistency and texture of Bondo! What the heck is going on? I've bought 7 or 8 different ball fitting configurations but there isn't a straight or flat surface to mount them and the original holes are blown out. It's a simple thing but I can't seem to think my way around this frustratingly simple problem...and that rear hatch has to be the heaviest of any I've ever seen. There's been other simple issues like this that got out of hand. It's almost like someone thought ahead to block any "fix" a person might come up with. ...AND where is the trans. dipstick? Where is the freakin battery? That one actually panicked me a bit. Thought I was losing my mind. I don't even understand all the buttons yet! That said, it sure is nice to drive and I love it!
Appriciate your comment. :) And probably the same can be said about the american cars here in Europe. Since we dont have them a lot. I see the xc90 as solid and easy car to work on. Generally I find them to be easier to work on comparing other European brands. But yes it has some odd things as well. Like the plastic hatch. It is like that on most volvos so they do not rust. And yes that v8 sound. Since it is 60 degrees between lines it sounds different. And I love that sound. 😃
Thank you!
You are welcome
cool engine, I got everything in the back, sooo... engine out :(
Yes. This why I like the older one better.
so, did fresh fluid fix your shudder?
Yes it did. Well was it just a fluid or the Shudder Fix juice. Probably both.
@@realvolvofreak Which additive did you decide to use?

hi. replaced my sensor on my 940 and starts again but.... still i have hot start problems. When hot -I can start only with pressing gas pedal.... HELP pelase...
That means you could have issues with fuel system or temperature sensor. Either not having enough fuel presssure. Need to check that. Or some of injectors are leaking when car is hot. Is it possoble for you to read codes that are stores on ECU?
@@realvolvofreak temperature sensor is new / Bosch. Still the same.
@@realvolvofreakdo you mean not enough fuel pressure because of fuel pressure regulator issue?
@@aleks5249 yes. Or leaking fuel injector can cause this issue as well
Found a 09 XC90 V8 RD with 75,000 miles and the dual exhaust. Let my wife drive it, and now we have two of the same. She has the Calcite interior.
Nice. 👌🏻👍 What colour it is?
@@realvolvofreak Both titanium grey. I wish they still sold the seat skins for the R-Design style. The leather still looks great, it’s the stripe is starting to crackle.
i also love the infotainment area.. simple, all you need.. no giant screen
Exactly. Just good old buttons. And. You could also get MD player in there.
Fantastiskt kul med Svensk CZcams som fixar S8 :)
Thanks. Not really the Swede, but living in Sweden. 🙈 anyhow thanks.
Also check sensor cable where it passes boot through underfloor left side storage box. On my Volvo 940 the cable was damaged by impact there 😊 I also had broken track on speedometer head PCB ( I believe this damage occurs when speedometer sensor cable is shorted ) 🧐
Good comment.
I just picked up a minter with 70k on clock, 2007. Love it.
Nice. Well done. 👍👍👍
Thanks that did the trick 👍🏽
Nice. 👍
Nice to see another Xc90 V8 in Sweden, my 2007 is on 230.000km at the moment
No way. 😱 Did you mean 230 000 km? Or 23000km? If so then it is brand new. 😃👍
That transmission had to be way overfilled . When you open up first drain only small amount supposed to come out . Thanks for video . How many miles on it ?
Dont think it was touched at all. According to filler plug. 🙈 530 000 km.

Nice. Who knows what will happen. So maybe one day. :) will keep in mind. 👍
Haha thank you man chasing a no start at work, only 20psi at the rail was throwing me off so hopefully that crank sensors the issue
Yes sometimes it is not easy. Let me know if this helped.
In my case it was the fuel pressure regulator (Just translated it from german, sorry if it is wrong). BUT the car started bad only when it was warm and also has a really rough idle.
@@little_kazu3021 thanks for coming back. 👍 And nice to hear that it is fixed. 😃
@@realvolvofreak Yes it kinda fixed it. I just got a rough idle and sometimes, after i pushed the throttle slightly, it will go to under 500 rpm. Sometimes the engine does shut off. Today i tried to change the sensor, but i didn't get the old one loose to change it. But we will see.
@@little_kazu3021 look then at vacuum leaks or idle motor.
Seems like this Volvo was abused. Still these are great cars and worth keeping and restoring. I want a manual swap on my v8 xc90
Well it has seen some owners and some miles under it’s belt. :) that would be cool. Volvo never made v8 with manual.
@@realvolvofreak someone built a manual to the Yamaha V8 in a XC70 and it looks like the car Volvo should have always made
@@SilasDrewchinWhere did you see this? There have been multiple XC70/V70 V8 swaps but I have yet to see it paired with a manual transmission.
@@XBredrenX someone made a manual xc70 in USA. I looked super clean. Using the b8444s Yamaha engine. I need to know how they did it
Check any and all non-fluid hoses then replace. Often times there could be a clog and or crack that will result ina rough idle
Be careful doing this my friend, there is a reason the stick was so successful. Low speed back and forth (stick style) is recommended as high speed rotation can cause burning or tracks.
Well. You are right there.Do not go on full throttle and full force on it. Work for a bit and see of the lapped area is nice and good or not.
thanks for the info i have the 740 but should be the same I'll try that out tomorrow It's always good to have some random video that exactly explains what you wanted to see ^^ thank you very much
Let me know if it worked. :)
Were you able to simply put the new lightbulb into the socket? With some of those interior light bulbs in the 940's, the light bulbs are soldered into the sockets.
Yes it was just pulling the old one out and push the new one in
Do you have a video of calibrating the actuator?
Sorry but no. It depends in what diagnostic tool you use. But it is controlled by ECM (engine control module) so look for that in your diagnostic tool and find either calibration function or choose to locate the component. What tool you are usiing?
We had this happen for us too. We failed it I don't know what they did to get it better but it's really still not great. Not like my xc70 that won't move an inch with the parking brake on.
Well the system is exactly the same as xc70 P2. But well now at least it works. Not saying that I am using it. 😂🙈
@@realvolvofreak right now I am dealing with a leaky radiator, ball joints, brake pads, and leaky power steering pump. I didn't fail for the parking brake this year so maybe it's good enough. If I get around to it I will do this repair it looks like alot of fun.
