Looks like mine is the same. I like Volvo, but bad design. Should be engaged all the time. I’m gonna see if I can put a switch on mine to turn it on and off.
this is rare, usually its the collar that fails. would of liked to see that in the video. Your lucky removing the collar from the gearbox is 10 times harder.
Well ... I did not do the work. I took the car to the shop because I did not know what was going on and I did not want to get in over my head. The shop gave me the part because they know that I am a nerd about stuff like that.
Now, Volvo is owned by Zhejiang Geely Holding Group but, when this car was built, you are correct, Ford owned Volvo. This car lived in Michigan before I bought it in Virginia and the salt just ate it up. I am still fighting a couple of issues. Now, is the problem a Ford engineering issue, I do not know. In my opinion this is a salt road issue. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Im not so good at fixing cars and such, but i have a XC90 d5 2003. And my AWD does not work, does it have anything to do with the angle gear? Again, im not good🙈
This one made a grinding noise when it failed. I thought the noise was coming from the left rear. I took the car to the shop because I cannot or will not perform rear axial work in my garage, those days are over. Anyway, this is what they came up with and a used one was installed. This failure was from the car's first life which began in Michigan. Road salt killed a few things on this car. This item was just one of them.
Sounds like the transmission has failed you. They are redicously expensive. However, sometimes one can consider $4500 beats the cost of a replacement vehicle.
What he said. Transmission. Pulled and replaced an engine on my 99 v70 t5 and thought we had the torque converter fully dropped in and seated. Everything even bolted up without issue. Car started up and all just fine, but alas all it would do is rev in every gear. Bye bye trans.
I’ve seen on utube where the detachable collar is welded on to the inner shaft. Two oblong access holes are drilled on both sides of the casing then welded through these holes. A much cheaper option if it lasts. I hope to try it as l have lost awd and replacement parts in the UK are very expensive. Used is an option but at a distance how can l be sure that the part is good.
@@edepillim Since your comment is 2 years old, I'm wondering what route you ended up taking with this... if you tried the welded collar route, how did it work out?
xyphur Pleased to report that the collar was welded on and it has lasted. Took a while to find the right welder man able to use the extra strong welding sticks. My 2006 XC70 has only done 130k so well worth keeping it going. My latest is the turbo actuator blew owing to a faulty wire so is being repaired as l write plus l have had to replace the power steering pump. Not too expensive thanks to China!
@@edepillim Thanks for the speedy reply! Good to hear that the weld is holding up. I am still somewhat concerned about longevity in the case of an XC90 V8, where the torque load is quite a bit higher. Shot in the dark, but would you happen to know what type of filler rods the welder used? I shouldn't have too much issue finding someone local to do this, but I'm weighing pros/cons between cost of replacement of the angle gear itself (used from another junkyard XC90 V8), along with a new (supposedly stronger upgraded design) OE splined collar, versus just getting mine welded. In either case, considering the mountain of work this is to do myself, the biggest factor of which route is taken is the likelihood of having to do it again in the future (and whether welding the collar invites potential for other things to break instead, considering it was designed to be the weak link in the AWD system - a sacrificial part, if you will). I guess the best metric of how much load the welded collar can deal with is this: How hard do you drive? Any launches that have tested the strength of the repair? Cheers! :)
For me it was easier to buy a used one and swap the the broken one out. The individual piece parts are not sold seperately and a new one was too expensive. I do not know if a new one was even available. The two used Volvo places that I know about are Erie Volvo in the state of New York, and L&B Auto in Virginia.
Hi, I have removed my engine twice already not looking forward to do it again to try and fix this exact same problem that you had. Was it possible to remove the angle gear without removing the engine, subframe or headers? Or what did you remove to reach it? Thanks for a nice video.
@@Stafilafi Any chance you ended up making that video? I'm more than confident about doing the angle gear on my '07 V8, but since I haven't yet done this job before, would love to watch someone else do it first so I know exactly what to expect, potential surprises/headaches to be aware of, and any tips or tricks to make it easier. There's not much in the way of others documenting their attempts that I've been able to find. Also, from what I've been reading there is apparently an updated collar/sleeve that was made stronger and has a nitrided coating now? Any insight into this? Part number differences? Thanks! Cheers from Canada :)
This XC90 is a 2009. I suspect it was a low flood but the seller said no it lived in Michigan its first 3 years and was subjected to abuse and was damaged in the right front wheel area.
Almost everything machanical is rebuildable for those with the will to do so.

Since Volvo is owned by Ford, is this a Ford part or a Volvo part? I had a Jaguar X-Type with similar issues, the transfer case was a Ford part...

What happens if a car shifts into all gears but doesn’t move, it just revés and revs and revs and no movement whatsoever

at what mileage did this happen?
This was a 2009 the mileage was 72500. To me this means the vehicle sat outside for a long time.

Please can the gear of xc90 be repaired or I should get another one, please advise me.

@@A_Renaissance_Man if you send it to sweden , i can make new splines who is much stronger than original :)
@@ekmarcus1 You've a method for reproducing the shaft with stronger splines? What alloy do you use?
@@aaronjohnmaughan yes i do this many times every week , you can send your axle to me and i can repair it , it be stronger than oem
@@ekmarcus1 Hi, how is your company called?
Hi, I have removed my engine twice already not looking forward to do it again to try and fix this exact same problem that you had.
Was it possible to remove the angle gear without removing the engine, subframe or headers? Or what did you remove to reach it?
Thanks for a nice video.
on a v8 the answer is hell no. must drop rear header and lower front which means full subframe drop, im in the process of mine right now.
Thakiid101 would you have a video on this? I have a 2008 XC90 V8 and it looks crazy tight underneath.
zmanvideo1 I will soon have a video of full engine removal and changeing angle gear.
@@Stafilafi super, thank you! subscribed!
