Hi, the adaption reset on this tranmission has been a topic for discussion in many places. I believe the confusion was caused more or less due to a precedure on the previous gearbox generation, which suggested resetting the fluid counter after fluid is replaced. On the following gearbox, this procedure is no longer present, and there has been an assumption (not necessarily 100% correct) that the adaptation reset will do similar job. I'm not a volvo professional myself, but have heard the following statement from volvo technician, thus applied this practice on my own car. What doesn't help either is the description of the gearbox reset procedure in VIDA, which states that it should be performed if one or more of the components in the tranmission have been replaced. Doesn't explicitly say rebuild/replaced, and that abusing those conditions will cause issues with the gearbox. I'm taking your comment and will make a note in the video description to advise people to perform at their own risk! On your second point, it's been a while since I posted the video, but I don't recall having shown a fill of the gearbox with only 1 litre. It's fairly obvious that leaving gearbox dry will be an extreme condition for it and potentially causing more wear, so I wouldn't see a reason to do it. What I've done is 2-3 filling/drainings of the gearbox. Each of which is done with 4l of oil, which is about the quanity you can drain from the drain plug , discounting the other 4 liters which remain in the torque converter and the system in general. After final fill, excess oil is removed by smallest drain plug. Regards.

I can have a look if you message me your VIN (facebook page).

It does but its internal to the transmission. Requires a full strip down to replace.

@@NathanFrench Thanks! I did a quick and search and found the same info. This also matches with ChatGPT's answer 😃. I'll do just an oil replacement then, my car has only 80K km driven, not much I guess for an gearbox oil.

Hi, I don't remember exactly. If you have a diagnostic tool, disconnect the plug of one injector, scan the car and it should throw a code on the injector it misses. Regards.

I agree traction may not be the best from start, especially if on FWD only, but it pulls a lot better when cruising. Fuel economy tends to improve after remap, however there's also external factors such as the carbon buildup (clogs manifold and emap pipe, causes sticky egr valves/swirl flaps, etc), boost leaks or maybe the remap quality itself. Regards.

@@GSAuto681 thanks, useful to know - I've just finished cleaning the last part of the puzzle which was the EMAP pipe which was clogged but a pain to get off (blowtorch cleared that carbon out!) - that has improved the MPG and driveability loads - this was after doing the full EGR cooler, intake manifold and valves (purchased at 180k) plus de-ash of the DPF - in theory it's as "clean" as can be!

Hi, this procedure is compatible with most Volvo engines/models. Feel free to contact me if you would like more information. Regards!

Wires were colour coded and should correspond to the PWM control signals of the individual LED colours. Regards.

Interesting, I thought those filter types are only used on the 5 cylinders. Good information 👍 Regards.

One more question : is it possible to clean the EGR without removing everything as you explained ? - thanks again

@aldobarr9820 Hi, just the valve could be cleaned by removing the charge pipe on the throttle body side. To fully clean it with the cooler, it will have to be dismounted. Rgds.

I've missed capturing that in the video, but it is a good point 👍

I think it took me no more than 3 hours. This tutorial should cover all of the 5 cylinder diesel models. I've got a separate one for the newer 2.0 4 cylinders, although jobs are similar. Good luck!

I'm guessing you are refering to the one which is part of the intake air duct. I'm not sure what it's called, but I believe it's sold as part of the duct all together! Regards.

@@GSAuto681 thank you! Nice videos about Volvo!

It will do. Different practice after fuel filter change is to start the engine and hold revs at about 2000rpm for a few seconds. Given this step is not included in the maintenance instructions, It's probably not critical if you skip it.

Neither. Just plug in the Dice (or whatever you use) and use P3Tool to connect to the car. Then start them CEM Pin search. The vehicle will appear absolutely dead during the search and will only respond again when pressing the Disconnect button in P3tool.

Which engine do you have? It could be from cracked EGR cooler too.

I drive the 2016 V40 D4 2.0 4 cylinder @@GSAuto681

It still has the 8-speed aisin, so fairly confident the procedure is applicable.

How did you get on ?
