£500 Volvo XC90 Project - Part Seven: First Proper Wash
In this video...I'm still burying my head in the sand ahead of the MOT and instead deciding to make the XC90 a little more shiny.
Because obviously that will make the other problems go away...right?

In this video, I'm cracking on with MOT prep for the XC90. The original plan was to jack everything up, pick out the bits that I think it needed for an MOT pass and order them. As things develop though it's obvious that through a lack of ordered thinking, and perhaps more than one part being worn I'm rapidly loosing the ability to make sensible conclusions as to exactly what might need to be ch...

    The lights are led on XC90 instrument cluster? Not sure why they didn't stick with bulbs as in the rest of P2 line up? The clusters are plug and play units anyway, the peeps you bought it from might have had one with similar mileage on the shelf, just me being cynical? This might seem obvious but did you check the instrument dimer switch wasn't just low, it did look like it as the DIM was illuminated OK but not the speedo etc... which are controlled by dimer switch?

    • @indecisiveauto
      @indecisiveauto 5 днів тому

      The dimmer switch is set to the max brightness position. I suspect it's too high resistance because it's intended for normal bulbs - plan to swap it for a dimmer switch from a later model to match the updated panel.

    I bought a 54 xc90 couple of weeks a go for same money, I went for early XC90 because they don't have a dpf and swirl flaps. Biggest issues are undoing previous owners bodges! He allegedly used a local garage for all work, but after finding that the head light bulbs were in upside down and a few spanners left in the engine bay plus absolutely mullered lock nuts, either he should find another garage or leave the jobs to a garage? Currently rebuilding the parking brakes with 850 adjuster mod, new engine mounts, cambelt etc.. and a stage zero service, I have replaced all the discs and pads. Sold my V70 T5 to fundthe XC90 and give me some working capital, basically the same amount again. I did have some money left over to buy a 2010 Mondeo estate, transport whilst I sort the Volvo. Plan being the XC is sorted and good to go a few more years for under £1200. My reasoning is that for £1200 I could buy something newer with a longer MOT but still needing similar work at some point? I also get disabled tax relief which saves a few pennies. I was quite surprised how big the XC is when I parked it next to my L322 Range Rover, always thought of them as mid sized SUVs but it is on a par with LR though I don't think I would use the XC for serious off roading?

    The diameter of the wheel magnifies any slight play in the bearing. Hence why the movement is apparently non existent when the wheel is removed.

      I think the polestar mod is worthwhile, it's very responsive off the line and I believe the mapping on the gearbox is altered as well for better performance. I'm not aware of any other heritage events in the Northwest at present unfortunately.

    I recently had a wheel bearing that was definitely past it's best when driving, but didn't show any play when static unless completely unloaded (inc. thrust load from the driveshaft). When fully unloaded, it was definitely totalled! Alternatively try your prybar on the disc, assuming it's shown up!

    I had a Corsa C for 9 years, practically re-built the car! My solution to the oil change, was to purchase a pump powered off the battery - makes life much easier sucking out the oil and a lot less mess. I had it until around 120,000 miles on it, tried various solutions to try to fix the oil consumption (blocked breather hose another problem). I really don't think thicker oil works that well for reducing the noise or oil usage. I never replaced the chain (I have no idea if it was done before I got it maybe). Really think these engines like more frequent oil changes, I was surprised to see Haynes manual saying 6 months, but now I agree with that (regardless of miles done). BTW had some issues with Astra 1.4 too, oil usage and rocker cover leaks (new gasket doesn't seem to last long!) Despite the hassles I liked the car simple to drive and cheap enough parts. Multiple engine flushes seems to help with tappet noise, gunk seems to build up on these engines.

    The track rod end did seem to be moving a bit. But in one of the shots so did the inner part of the trackrod where the gaiter is. That could be worn steering rack bushes, which would affect both sides, but I think the OS more in theory. And then it looks like the wheel bearing was wobbling a bit on the other side as you said. Probably it's all a bit worn :)
