Yuri, watching this video you're doing on me three favors, I recall my forgetting Russian, still fixing English and learning something new about Volvo, Spasiba !!!!
Have just up-graded my S80 with the new centre console! Thanks to your video I found it quite easy! Mine was perfect with no squeaks! But I noticed that mine was made in China and not Belgium like yours! 🙂
Very much worth the effort, a great labor of love. I feel like a duf since I've heard that noise but never would have suspected a design flaw with Volvos. I'll give mine a second look.
So I picked this later design panel for my 2009. No change to the design, so what I did was inject hot glue between the two panels to reduce flex. What's dumb is that the BRAND NEW part would squeak when slightly twisted right out of the box. Again, dumb design. Once the hot glue hardened, ZERO creaks and squeaks... a lot less work, and looks good as new.
finaly found really interesting and very helpfull video's all about Volvo, this Guy is really really good in that what he is show in this clips, thanks for your channel 👍👍
Attention- Do NOT use Loctite Flexible plastic adhesive for this. I got one tiny dribble on the soft touch coating of the center console and it caused it to peel up some and now I need to buy another console. Stick to the Silicone Yuri showed in the video.
Nice job. In my model 2016 there is a problem of squeaking central airflow panel (above the central console). Nasty sound comes during the drive. I wonder if there is a chance to fix it. My big five to a small asisstant in your garrage :)
I have a similar problem in my 2011 xc60 there's a buzzing that can last for miles, it's strange, seems to depend on the type of road surface I travel on, but looks a whole lot of work removing that fat centre console and still maybe not find it :/
it is same as me, I do not understand why Volvo used a hard material for this particular area. Although the center console used hard materials, other parts are very soft and good quality.
Hi Uri, what is that black sheet of felt like stick on strip called? Where dd you get it? I'm surprised this noisy item got passed by Volvo in the first place.
Hey buddy! Great video! I have an XC60 with an irritating squeaking sound right above the console. It's actually on the plastic leather console on top of the console. Any ways to remove that and see whats going on?
The chrome colored plastic part around the CD-player vibrates and makes a slightly annoying sound but only on the left side. If I push on it it stops, but when I let go it starts again. I wonder if one can bend it off and somehow use double sided tape, glue or whatever to attach it better. Or maybe there's a screw behind it that's loose.
Это конечно полный пи....ц, деталь оригинальная и такой косяк!!!! Уж сколько у меня было Volvo таких косяков не было даже в s80 второго поколения. Я понимаю, что комментарий не актуальный! Интересные видосы у тебя.
добрый вечер. у вас спереди есть датчики парктроника? у меня один вышел из строя. боковые, которые стоят рядом с противотуманками достаются легко, а вот те что в решетке в бампере, не могу понять, бампер что ли снимать!!? а Vida показывает что вышел из строя именно тот датчик, что в решетке стоит.
Виталий Махамед, снимается вместе с решеткой, решетка достаётся наружу в инете и на драйве в частности есть фотки с расположением защёлок. Тут нужен некоторый навык. По своему опыту проблема может быть в проводке. Перетираются провода о правый передний локер. Я поменял исправный датчик пока понял что к чему. Чтобы проверить просто поменяйте правый и левый местами. И если ошибка не переместится вместе с датчиком-ошибка в проводке.
Hi Uri, regarding the cluster. My car has the silver rings, non Chronograph. Do you know if the chronograph ones can be taken from another cluster and clipped in. I know buying a whole new cluster is way expensive and has to be coded to your vehicle. Thanks for any help m8!
+Glenn McKee Hey Glenn. Ive had this question before from someone. I don't know if this will work. I would like to swap mine to the blue R Design. But dont see used ones.
No worries, yeah you already have the nice Chronograph Clusters! Blue would look chintzy, in contrast to your wooden interior/luxury car look. It suits an original R-Design better even though I think R-Designs spoil the Volvo look. The steering wheels are lovely though and I've retrofitted them onto my S80 and V60.
Same thing happened mine when I replaced it with the chrome highlighted console. The Volvo dealer wouldn't be smart enough to fix it. Here it would more likely be damaged.
That creaking is usually caused by different components rubbing together. I am guessing the new centre console is made up of more components than the old one. And looks a lot more flimsy when you bend and twist it. That is really poor, but only to be expected when a quality manufacturer is taken over by a Chinese conglomerate such as Geely. The plug was pulled on Saab because GM wanted to make Saabs to a GM mass market budget, but Saab didn't want to compromise their reputation, or their quality. I can see the same happening to Volvo, unless somebody buys the company, and commits to quality over quantity.
What about squeaking in the passenger seat when cornering? And noise or squeaking in the back i guess suspension or maybe struts when driving over small rocks or let say holes it is really annoying.
How can i find someone that does this in Sweden? Impossible...volvo retailer says its normal. Got a v60 2014. Thought about replacing the squeeky panel but replacement part has same noise....
Ozolz Om du bor i Göteborg så åk till volvo service i Torslanda, om inte så gå till närmsta auktoriserade volvoserviceställe. Att mittkonsolen låter så är inte okej och låter så eftersom dem monterat den fel :)
This must be exemplaric. i don't recognise this at all. I had some squeaking when I pressed hard on the 'metal' parts but i fixed that with Tec7 on the under side. I now 100% quiet.
I must have been the reason. Now I've seen the rest of the video and we did it 99% on the same way. Especially the tape around al sharp edges does a lot. We both live in climates with very big differences in temperatures. That make it extra good to work on it in the summer half year.
Pomysł dobry, gorzej z wykonaniem. Na początku niszczy plastkowe zaczepy używając diaxa , a wystarczy podgrzać zaczepy HOTem (nie opalarką!) - schodzi jedno z drugiego bez problemu i można zamontować ponownie jak oryginał
I had the R-Design one fitted to my S80. I thought the quality for that one was fine. They're really not worth the UK price new, approx £300. I got a mint condition one used for my V60 for £80.
Дорогой друг! Это маразм! Вот на эти соединения, которые ты спиливал нужно было пыхнуть силиконом! Если бы это не помогло, можно было проклеить двухсторонним скотчем. Делали так уже.
Ещё есть такой клей для ремонта мобильных телефонов (b-3000) .Это смесь силикона с клеем. Можно было на него соединить панели. Клей недорогой. И высыхает часов за 5-6.
Thank you so much!! I have fixed so many squeaking parts I can't count anymore :O btw I have problems removing the door panels (plastik on the lower part of the door) to remove and add new glue stripes. Do you know how to remove the panels? Thanks in advanced
I dont like to replace the original parts of the car, coz the result will be as we saw, squeaking and much more bad results. I bet the part you are fixing is not original thats why its making that bad sound. The car must be used as it comes from the factory.
I have a 2011 and have the same issue with the dual material console, I think I may take a weekend and perform the modification you made here, thank you for sharing this and I look forward to being squeak free.
