@@wolly6048 yes. The AC compressor has been replaced a few times. Not it works for several years. You need to find out if the last time, they replaced the AC pump, condensor and flushed and dried the system. Then its a good fix.

@@Xanderdegroot it is technically possible to do this on the T6 / T8 also. Its a bit more work as I need a different aprouch and routing to install. I just don't have the time to experiment with the T6 / T8 (and also did not had 1 in my hands where I aim allowed to play with for a few weeks)

@@RCtrialTim The T6/8 community is big so if you can in someway that would be awesome!

@@alikaba3681 elektrisch? Lagere snelheid betekend een iets hoger bereik. Maar als je te veel moet starten en stoppen, dan blijft dat rond de 90km.

In the description you find my FB page about the extender. There you find the info to contact me for installation. My location is Belgium.

@@beatvine no. They don't suffer from heat. As they don't provide a lot of current. Passive cooling is enough for them. On my FB page you see a picture from a thermal camera after a highway drive in 30°C.

@@RCtrialTim Nice. So in a way its beneficial for both batteries because they both split the amp draw and heat up 50% less. You might say it could extend the life of the oridinal battery too.

@@beatvine it certainly does. It even drives longer in Pure mode in colder weather.

​@@RCtrialTim any issues with balancing between the original and extra battery pack and running them in parallel? As they are from different manufacturers they must have different characteristics.

@@beatvine no problems. The first ever made extender is almost 2 years old now. I haven't seen any loss in range.

The car mileage is 160k km but only 90k km on the diesel engine... I think is charger related but no info even on VIDa to diagnose this kind of problem... Can you help me ? Much appreciated in advance!

@@TheKrak97 in the discription of this yt video, you will find a link to my fb page. There you can contact me trough whatsapp, thats faster then commenting under this page.

If the car in front don't start within 3 seconds, the car is in pauze mode. I press the repeat button (circular arrow button next to the cruise control and speed limiter button). Pressing the accelerator works also to restart the cruise control.

@@ВсеобоВсем-я6и6я yes, they do have that from time to time. That can be a software bug, or an attempt to regenerate the dpf. It will also refuse to drive electric if the diesel is to old (but first you get 5 or 7 days before that a warning to use the diesel engine to consume old diesel. Its not a problem. If that happens, and you realy want to drive electric, then turn of the car, open driver door. And close it. Wait for the clonks of the high voltage contactors in the trunk and then turn the car back on. That will normaly do the trick.

@RCtrialTim At first would like to thank you for answer. About software bug, if i understood correctly volvo dealer can check if there are some software updates for control units, right? Regarding the regeneration of dpf, are there any indirect signs by which to understand that the car started the regeneration of dpf? on the account of the old diesel, I did not know this, thank you for the information. Ah, yes and thank you for the hint, i will try this next time.

@@ВсеобоВсем-я6и6я as far as I know, there is no software fix for that bug. During dpf clean, if the battery is low, it will use the ISG to charge the battery to around 50%. Consumption on the highway will be around 10L as its needed to create enough heat to regenerate the dpf. At a certain point, if canceld enough, the car will always drive on diesel until the dpf has a full regeneration cycle completed.

@@christobromley6230 voorlopig raak ik niet meer aan de modules die ik gebruik. Ik ben op zoek naar een ander type module met gelijkaardige capaciteit en prijs. Heeft u mijn FB pagina al?

That should also be possible. Its something that I have not done yet. Have not had a S90 available for conversion.

Not entirely shure. Need to check on the next car. (Not doing upgrades every week 😅 )

I would like to be able to use pure mode to drive to work (2-3km) and the store (12km) but i want the diesel for 100km and longer trips

@@finnishturtle3059 tough to say. Depends a bit on how the previus owners used it. Stored for some time fully charged or completely flat hurts. If its charged 2 times a day. Thats ok. My 2013 still shows 45km range. Its around 90% of original capacity. Once it drops to 60% you start having problems.

@@RCtrialTim the one im looking at has been driven in hybrid mode without charging for a while but i have no idea how its been driven before it was imported to finland from the netherlands

Yes. I swapped the original 24kWh to the 40kWh battery. And then installed a 35kWh battery from a Mazda MX30 in the trunk.

@@RCtrialTim you're my bestest friend then :) is it difficult and expensive to upgrade? Would love another env but the 24 I had 4 years ago just had a tiny range

​@@lookoutleowith the right skills its not difficult. Only time consuming. Money depends, if you can sell the old 24kWh battery, you get some of the money back.

@@RCtrialTim it seems hear that if you want a 40 kW battery pack you would need to pay £6k but an env 40kw is about 8k now to buy. Cheaper getting the van instead of upgrade and the vans will get cheaper next year once the UK government starts charging £300 road tax , that comes in next may. What you pay in Belgium ?

@@lookoutleo for now, we pay no road tax for EV's if they don't exceed 3500kg.

Hi. From Antwerp Belgium :)

Ik heb redelijk veel achter een vrachtwagen kunnen rijden (niet tegen de bumper, op een aanvaardbare afstand), dat helpt. En op tijd regeneratief vertragen. Want dat is niet zo heel sterk met maar 30kW.

The single extender increases the original 40km (real range) to a usable 100km. A double extender is not advised as the truck will be almost useful and you need to install increased spring rate and you will suffer from the extra weight (+200kg) in the trunk. A single extender kost 3500€. Right now there is a shortage of the battery I use. So there is a waiting list until I find an alternative (or batteries).

The original power is 68Hp and 200Nm. This does not change. Only the range you can drive is altered. Original range is <50km. Single extender can give you 100km and double extender can go 160km

OK. And is it possible to increase a power of electric motor? Together with range pure mode, of course. I mean, D6 will be faster and longer?

@@ДмитрийЩетинин-е1э no. Its not possible to rais the power of the electric motor.

​@@RCtrialTim nice work, I have also an Volvo V60 Hybrid 2015. What are the prices for the extender?

They are cheap now. I’m buying one this year. Lets hope we get more energy dense batteries soon then upgrading will be very useful. ❤

Unfortunately, didn't work for me. I listen music from the phone. So they are always connected.

There are problems with the newer versions of the hybrid version. The diesel version has had a problem with the acpump. They used a wrong ac oil that compromised the insulation of the pump. When flushing the system and drying and replacing the condensor. Its a permanent fix. The charger can also go bad on a high milage/lot of charged car. But that is fixable for a good price in a non Volvo dealer shop.

@@RCtrialTim So what you are saying is that. Even if I get a Volvo V60 D6 with some problems, is it not that expensive to repair using non-volvo workshops?

The normal range extender is to make the car verry usefull for your daily drives if the original range is just not enough to make it home. That way you prevent using the diesel engine cold for only a few km. A double range extender does not make enough sense money wise to do. But if a customer wants it. Who aim I to say no?

As far as I know, I aim the only person around the globe that installs this.

You mean taking a module out another car to rebuild your battery?

Driving 130km/h the consumption is around 6l/100km. I don't know if you drive in the power mode if it still drives in 6th gear or in 5th gear. If it drives in 6th gear its around 6l/100km. If it drives in a lower gear, it will be a bit higher.

@@RCtrialTimit will shift to 6th. And feel more like driving in AWD if you’re sensitive with the go paddle.

All Volvo L5 euro 6 diesel burn 6/6.5 liter for 100km with 120/130 kmh. I have test with my D3 136 2014 v60 manual and D3 150 (remap 190cv/400nm) 2011 manual c70 and confirm with 2.4d 175 version on 2010 s80. With more weight, in city, it's near from 7l than 6. Really good engine without any fatal failure (all my L5 d52xxtx run well after 300.000km, no oil consumption). New L4 very reliable and efficient but horrible noise and lot of oil consumption.

They have a 45L tank. There is no room for a bigger tank because of the hybrid system.

I install these in Belgium, just to the south of Antwerp.

@@RCtrialTim If i want in the future can i bring my car from Sweden and do the same? How much does it cost totaly?

@@quavohuncho6156 Yes, its possible to bring over the car. Single extender is 3500€. Installation is 2 days if orderd on time. (Preparation time) Double extender is 6000€.

@@RCtrialTim what is the difference between single extension and double extension? how many km do you earn with each one?

@@Ksk199 ​the single extender makes that you can drive between 90 and 100km if you can drive between 30 and 40km with original battery. It adds around 60km range. The double extender gives you between 150 and 165km range. I don't like the double extender as you loose almost all bootspace and you need a suspension upgrade. It handles less good as the rear is a lot more heavy then the front. With the single extender you can still drive sporty. With the double extender you need to be a bit more gentle.

No problem. My car passed inspection 2 times already. If you are close enough, always welcome to come visit to take a look and/or testdrive. I do have a fb page. Search for extender V60 to contact me.

Thks for the fast reply. I'm from Liège, I'll contact you if I pass close by.

Heb je ook aanpassingen aan het onderstel gemaakt? De achteras draagt nu een aanzienlijk hoger gewicht dan oorspronkelijk berekend was. Woon zelf in NL en heb een grote interesse in de V60 Hybride. Zou ik een keer langs mogen rijden om kennis op te doen?

​@@Mr.Riffian de achterste veren worden vervangen naar een verzwaarde versie (+30%)bij de dubbele extender. Voor de enkele extender is dat niet noodzakelijk nodig, maar kan altijd gedaan worden op vraag van de klant. Je kan op afspraak (week/weekend) altijd eens langskomen

@@RCtrialTim Bedankt voor je rappe respons. In welke streek van België zit je? Dan kan ik mijn bezoek eventueel met andere doeleinden combineren.

Hello, I don't speek Portugese. The single extender cost 3500€ installed. The double extender cost 6000€ installed.

The bottom left are the high Voltage cables from the battery. Its DC, ranging from 320V to 410V.

The original battery is 11kWh (8kWh usable) and weighs around 130kg. A single extender adds around 110kg and is 16kWh (11kWh usable). A double extender weighs around 230kg and is 32kWh (23kWh usable).

Indien de accu te slecht is, kan je deze altijd laten reviseren voor een paar duizend euro. En dan heb je een zo goed als nieuwe accu. Hoeveel km zegt de boordcomputer dat u kan rijden en hoeveel kan u echt rijden?

bc zegt nu 25km en werkelijk maximaal 10 a 15km @@RCtrialTim

@@michelmiddag603 ik zou stilaan gaan zoeken naar een revisie accu in Nederland. Daar zijn een aantal bedrijven die die accu's reviseren.

Fully charged is 412V. Empty is around 350V resting Voltage. It can sag down to 320V under load.

Long driving on highway is around 5.5l/100km. If you drive it economical it can go lower. To 4l/100km. If you drive crazy, it goes up to 10l/100km.

If you can bring the car to Belgium, I can install it for you. Unfortunately I don't sell a kit to D.I.Y.

Ik ben benieuwd naar de resultaten!

@@RCtrialTim Hallo, reparieren Sie das Hybridsystem?

Its 6l/100km @ 130km/h. So @ 140km/h its probably 6,5l/100km

Thank you very much and one more question if i buy plug in if the car is 2013 how long i can use the battery before changing it, thanks

The diesel heater is a fully seperate system. Should not trigger the dpf cleaning. If its trying to clean every 2-3 weeks, that probably means it does not do a full cycle.

@@RCtrialTim I was not aware, thank you for the clarification! In cold weeks I nowadays try to make at least one 30min trip full diesel on highway to get the temp up and finish its cycle.

​@@ParisCarboneif it keeps regenerating so much, you need to let a specialist look at it. It might be a bad dpf.

@@RCtrialTim It only has 39k km so I hope it is too early to get DPF problems but I will ask a technician to take a look. The low temperatures in sweden definitely contribute to bad dpf regeneration overall

If you lay the rear driver seat down. There is an rubber flap that you can fold. Untherneat that is the high voltage service disconnect. Open all doors and trunc. Disconnet 12V then the high voltage.

@@RCtrialTim thank you 🙏

Build it myself.
