Actually it saves money "driving like you stole it" with the D5, less oily soot clogged EGR and DPF and injectors will be happier!We have S80D5, wi...

I do have a VIDA and Dice, i will have to look at the reset, i didn't know there was one.. It does have plenty of power, well for what it is, lol.

Ex850R

TDI Tuning box will give you more power...

I do have an evc controller on my PX Ranger and love it at it sweet spot, no good on max, too jerky being a manual. I did buy one for the XC90 but the plug would not fit and it ended up costing for return post, and they couldn't explain why it didn't fit and i beleive it's still on there site for sale, I wouldn't think being a UK car that the plug would be different. anyway yes it would be smoother that's for sure.

Is the shudder just on gear change, or under slight acceleration not during gear change ?

The TF80 transmission can develop a shudder in the torque converter (feels like the transmission slips a bit), and the centre support bearing mount in the prop shaft to the rear could be sagging or collapsed, which also gives a light acceleration shudder

Hi Staggers, No shudder on gear change and it changes very smooth, the mechanic said the trans was fine and just needed an engine mount changing, which has sort of helped, it happens mostly in 5th & 6th with gradual acceleration and more so on a bend with an incline, Which i have a few in Southern Tassie, lol, but if you drive it with more revs, no vibration at all.

I will have a look at the prop shaft and the bearing mount in the center support It's only done 125k so i thought it would be all good but i will check,

Hi guys, enjoying the thread, I have recently become the owner a 2007 xc90 d5, the test drive was great, however on the trip home on the M1 at 110kph "Transmission Service Urgent" fault sprung up, so pulled up waited let it cool down, fault went out, (owner informed me he did a fluid flush, first thought not enough ffluid or incorrect used, now shudder in reverse and park but drives and changes fine, further investigation noticed front engine mount cactus havent checked others …yet , have also noticed slight hesitation from standing start, am I up for a huge bill on my newely aquired ride ?

M1 Melbourne?
Mounts can cause odd transmission issues but codes need read.

Ex850R No mate, between Sydney and Newcastle, no faults stored, will have a look at all other mounts, big bill coming up I guess, fault hasn't appeared again, maybe scan while it's still up

Codes should be stored.

Are you using a generic reader?

Only Vida and DICE Volvo specific tool can read properly or a very expensive workshop one.

Ex850R hi again, what spacific tool we talking about, thought Vida Dice was complete unit from obd to laptop

jamesinc

VIDA is the software, DICE is the hardware

Did you manage to solve the problem?
