How DO you remove a Volvo steering wheel? 🤔

Just a quickie showing how to release the airbag in a volvo steering wheel in order to get access to the gubbins inside - lots of reasons you might need to... in my case, it was to tighten the retaining bolt!

Hey there I got a question I was wondering if you have another way to reach out to you it’s refer to a issue with my Volvo xc90 2014 I found your page and I see you know a lot about them!

Hi! I like to keep things on the channel so that it can help other people as well and don’t use other socials etc… what’s the issue - I should at least be able to recommend a starting point for your investigation!

@@bigtalltim I have actually two issues at the moment one of them is related with my a/c the clutch engages and you could heart when it clicks and then no air coming out from the vents and that happens out of the no where and sometimes works just fine still can’t find what the problem might be/ the other problem that just happened it’s the ABS/anti-skid service required like I said I own a Volvo xc90 2014.

@israelmonroy9125 ok… do you have any diagnostic trouble codes? There are so many electronic things that can go wrong it is nearly impossible to know without interrogating the ECU… on the air flow, do you ever have good air flow, or is it always low? With that, the cabin air filter is my best guess - they get blocked over time and that actively prevents air from flowing through the vents… if it is an issue that only happens when the ac is on auto, that would suggest one of the temperature sensors but a code reader would spell it out

Hmm… ok - a question: does the skid message come and go? Sometime it shows up, other times not? My first suspect there is the yaw sensor under the right hand front seat, but if your mechanic has found an error code it may be something else… I note that he went straight for one of the most expensive parts in the system though which always raises an eyebrow for me! Again, the fan is expensive and difficult to replace, but the pollen filter (cabin air filter) in these is known for getting blocked and will reduce the air flow to a whisper. If the fan runs at all, it probably isn’t that! I need to change my cabin air filter for similar reasons so will do a vid on that shortly… in the meantime, it is worth investing in a code reader for your car - the engine control unit will remember exactly what it was that went wrong and spell out what the issue is - you don’t need a full computer to read the codes!
