@@vica153 I tried to bend and push the hose to the bottom of the diff/transfer case. One bottom is enough to do both front and rear change, but I did the front transfer case twice, as the oil drained from the front looks more degraded.

@@eyhpoon Yeah, since the TCase is easy enough to get at and uses a small amount of fluid, I think I'll probably do a drain&fill on it whenever I do an engine oil change.

@@vica153 I honestly don't think you need to. May be every 40000kms.

I have never tried replacing the valve cover myself. I remember around 50000km, the dealer replaced the entire cover. It depends on what I need, I do quite a bit of research around for what I need and pricing. For example, I bought the oil kit/fluid kit/Brake kit from FCP in USA (although not genuine), shipping is very expensive but I think its important to get the right spec of products in these cases. The genuine Volvo tie rods however (plus a set of genuine rim, used but very new), genuine cabin filters and wiper blades, I bought them from auto supplies in China because that gives me a best price including shipping cost (because there is sea freight available, but buying from Europe/USA I have to used expensive services like UPS/Fedex/DHL). You can also try local Volvo dealer to order parts, but normally not the cheapest option. Brake fluid and Coolant, I just use the local product which meet the specs.

It is not a lot of difference, but the bigger rotors give a big more progressive braking. Shipping from the States from us unfortunately is very expensive.

@@eyhpoon Thank you! I got 72Km on my vehicle and will need both rotors and pads soon, I'll probably stick to regular size.

@@rontan8954 Nothing wrong with the standard size rotors and pads for normal driving in my opinion. Just need regular replacements. I used to have Volvo dealer service my car and if I am not mistaken, the rotors would got replaced around 25000 to 40000kms. I will see how the Zimmermann goes this time.

@@eyhpoon I'm at 73,000 km and the rotors look fine. That's crazy that they would replace rotors 40,000kms! Volvo charges way too much to replace both rotors/pads.

Thanks for your comment. After rotating tyres, feel better. Still pull very slightly to left but possibly due to the road.

Hope my understanding is correct. If you refer to the crush washer, yes, its need to be replaced.

@@jimhammer8878 Thank you :)

@@vica153 Yeah, just winter weather. I was very careful to cover up everthing to ensure no water get into the system.

@@vica153 Yes, for the rear calipers, first need to retract the parking brake by taking the motor off and use a socket to turn the shaft (clockwise) at the back of the caliper, then use a caliper tool to push the piston back all the way.

@@vica153 I just use the old method. Seems to be ok. Have driven about a few hundred kms since the brake change. No issues so far.

@@g0fvt I need to google that VDD dongle then.

Thanks for your comment, I did read it using google translate :) Good luck to you too! Hope my Volvo keep running without issues :P

I am happy that the videos are useful. Have fun!

Thanks for the comment on the brake video. Unfortunately I found a few minutes of blank screen and need to re encode and upload the video, so lost your comment.

@@eyhpoon no problem I noticed that when watching the video. I just got my rotors in and realized I ordered the wrong size by accident. So now waiting on the return. 🤦‍♂️ lol How do your new brakes feel?

@@lllhunterlll9644 I like it, give me peace of mind so I don't need to worry about it for a while. Braking power not much difference but seems a bit more progressive.

Don't think you can drain the Haldex fluid without removing the pump motor as there is no drain plug. Also removing the motor give us a chance to clean the fine dust that get accumulated.

I bought it locally in NZ. www.trademe.co.nz/4701471948

Its a Xiaomi cellphone, app was Car Scanner

Ok

Thanks, where can I get Vida and how much would it cost?

I honestly don't know about the counter, would it matter if I don't reset it?

​@@eyhpoonThe Transmission Control Module (TCM) registers ATF temperatures above a certain threshold. As the count increases over time, the TCM will modify the change profile to compensate for the age and condition of the fluid. You now have new fluid in which can handle higher temperatures but the TCM doesn't know this so the old fluid temperature counts are being added to the new fluid count. This means that the TCM could eventually be using a sub optimal change profile unnecessarily and prematurely. All of the above is dependant on transmission fluid history and individual conditions so none of it may be *absolutely necessary* or all of it will be absolutely essential. I don't know your exact circumstances but there is a process. Likewise with the fluid temperature. That temperature range means the fluid is at a specific volume. Too cool, you won't drain enough when setting the level, too hot, you may drain too much. Whether you do all this is personal choice but from experience of doing work myself, I do it like the manufacturer says unless I have a really good reason to be different. The reset process is shown in my video here along with a fluid change on a similar gearbox. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5K0ZompeMuAetE Hope that helps.

@@sirobb I follow your youtube channel, and followed your video while doing the change!

Thanks, will try

Hi, I bought this kit www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo-complete-drivetrain-service-kit-aisin-31256775kt, which came with 1 bottle of Volvo 31367941, and 2 bottles of 75w90. For the Haldex, I used no more than half a bottle. Also for the 75w90, two bottles are more than enough for me to do front transfer case drain and fill twice, and rear diff drain and fill once. Just be careful when you disassemble the Haldex pump, there is small bearing at the end of the motor and may come off when you remove the wire mesh case.

​@@eyhpoon Thank You, oil repleace go fine for me. Also 0,5 liter in front and rear boxes. Haldex the same 0,5 liter. Btw. i have also D5 Inscription in the same colour and alloy wheels. Beautiful family car :)
