Welcome to my channel! I’ve got no real theme for it but most of the videos relate to DIY on my fleet of Volvo’s as well as some DIY videos on bike maintenance.

I try to produce videos that not only walk you through a job but also give you an appreciation for the bits that will suck up all your time. Given this I’m sure some of my videos will appear longer than they need to be (and heck some of them definitely are!) but I’m hopeful that what I’ve presented provides a FULL appreciation for how long and how complex each job is vs those videos out there that make everything seem easy. Happy viewing!

@@user-nw7kf6nl2y assuming the key hardware is compatible, yes, as long as you can dig out the little transponder capsule. You must transfer the glass transponder over for the remote to work. Or if you can’t get the transponder out, at least tape it to the steering column as close as possible to the key lock and remove the non-compatible transponder so that car doesn’t get confused.

If anyone's still looking for a fix, I found, in my case, the extra play was where the rectangular metal lug sets in the bottom gear. I cut metal shims from a soup can lid and tucked them between both sides of the plastic gear and the metal lug. It took out some of the play, but the top gear on the horizontal shaft needed a shim too. I used a piece of thin wire long enough to wrap around the drive handle shaft and hammered it to the necessary thickness to take out the play. Remeshing the gears takes some attention. I think I got it right on the 3rd try.

Success. Thank you for the video. My coolant reservoir had wiring that was easy to miss and then yank on without realizing. For those wires that need to not be pinched by the bracket, it seemed advisable to replace the missing protective flexible plastic conduit to avoid the insulation wearing off later.

Step one can only be done if you can open the tailgate, if you can't, then forget step 1 2 3 and all the other steps until you get the door opened. On the 2009 I had to cut a square hole on the inside of the tailgate to expose the lock and then poke, push, prod everything inside the lock to try and open it. Suffice to say, I was successful after several hours, several attempts and then it was a total fluke, by accident, it opened and I have no clue what I did or what I poked to open it. I had to remove the inside tailgate cover, (what was left of it), replace it as well as the tail gate lock after I removed the tailgate license plate and exposed the lock from the outside. Yes, you guessed it, had to cut another square hole with my angle grinder and cut off disk. Close to 2000 for replacement parts, shipping and tax. So grand to own a volvo you can't manually open.

You are probably right but search for this type of accident on RU-vid and you will find some scary fails. As for damage from a 6hp…I mean if you can’t get back to the boat for whatever reason and you are just bobbing out there, the 6hp may not be the worry…maybe it’s the 150hp coming through that doesn’t see your head bobbing about.

Actually - believe it or not, I was unable to get my throttle air pipe back on after multiple attempts (it would not hold tight to the throttle). When I brought it to the dealership I told them I was losing my mind because getting pipe back on was so simple but it would not fit. The mech told me that when that mount fails, the angle of engine changes just enough to make it very difficult to install that large pipe.
