Volvo P2 Transmission & Drivetrain Diagnostic/Maintenance Guide (Fluid Changes, Failures & More!)
►In this video, we're going to cover everything on the drivetrain within the Volvo P2 chassis, from the output of the engine to the wheels themselves. That's transmissions, differentials, driveshafts, and more. We'll cover maintenance intervals, what to look out for when buying a Volvo P2, and how to tell if yours needs updating

Re changing the auto gearbox fluid. You MUST use a good (ideally Volvo Vida) computer to go into the TCM and reset the fluid counter (so the car knows it's got new fluid as over time the gearbox compensates for aging fluid). Also, while in the TCM, reset learnt adaptions. This also helps the gearbox relearn how to operate on new fluid.
Thank you for this incredibly informative video, FCP Euro. I’ve got a 2008 XC90 V8 and I’ve got the notorious “AWD Disabled, Service Required” message on my dash display. Dealership wants me to purchase a new Control Unit (36001160), oil pump kit (30783079), and sealing kit (8675238). They want $5,000 for parts and labor which is ridiculous! So I’ll be going through and checking some of these things that you’ve mentioned such as fuse 23, the DEM, AOC, and control module. Thank you as always for the incredibly informative videos! Hope my car has AWD again soon. 😆

This is a very informative video overall like it, my issue is I don’t believe changing trans oils after 150k (when it has never had one) is wise I’m running 280k never had a trams oil change hate it but I wouldn’t risk it as data and transmission specialist don’t advise that from the days I gathered. I’d love to see electronic malfunctions on P2 might not be that popular but one to be informative since these vehicles are highly computerized. My radio lights won’t work and I’d like to know how this system works and how it’s all wired it’s funky how the rear view mirror houses the alarm module and how they connected all together. Just a thought.

Some type of “growling” or something don’t know how to explain it but it’s only when I turn the car at idle. 2006 automatic
The 3rd gear brake band that is actuated by the b4 solenoid often wears out of spec to the point of causing the shudder and then shift flares from 2nd into 3rd gear. The transmission will not shift promptly into 3 and will bang into 3 or 4 if the desired speeds are severely not matched or solenoids are slow. I’m about to see if I can replace the band in-car and then doing the tcm relearn after replacing old solenoids and seals.

Bro that sounds exactly like the s60 T5 I have, i have also noticed if i brake and slow the car down enough to were the gear i was in for example 4th is too high of a gear for the new lower speed am doing now the car will dip the clutch at sit and 1000 rpm untill i put my put on the throttle downshifting into 3 but it will bang into the downshift any outher rpm is not a problem it down shifts fine it's only when you slow down to really low rpm and the car dips the clutch it bang into the downshift.
@tedbrookins

Yep, it’s the band. If you replace it soon, it’ll keep the clutch sets from getting burnt out. I drive normally until the car’s warm and occasionally do the kickdown if I need to get ahead in traffic. When the transmission is warm, that’s when the hesitation and banging into 3 from 2 and sometimes shudder from 4 back into 3 happens. Sometimes I have to hold out 2nd gear until line pressure allows a smooth shift without relying too much on the worn brake band. Otherwise a well protected transmission.

Do you need to reprogram the shifting after changing the valve body?
@xanderchettinger
5 ай бұрын
Normally, you should do that. In VIDA, there is an option to reset the transmission adaptations and also another one to perform an adaptation of the transmission. When performing the adaptation, you go on a drive and accelerate at certain RPMs so that the computer can learn the shift points. It makes it a lot smoother, especially on downshifts. If you don't have a DICE tool, the computer will relearn overtime but will shift poorly until it does, so I wouldn't recommend not doing the readaption process.
Do you have to take it to a dealer for a pcm reflash after charging the fluid?
Just drive the manual and be done with it. Its a much better drive
Wait a minute. No filter for the fluid in the transmission? What is Volvo thinking? Transmission fluid (changing it) is the most overlooked maintenance item in a car.
Hi bro , i have a volvo c30 it showed messages transmission performance low and i changed the whole transmission last week , today i got the same message with the mew transmission when i turn off the car and on again it disappears but this hurts cuz i paid alot and shouldt have any problem any idea whats wrong ?

you'll want to apply 12v directly to the pump pins, if the pump kicks on then your problem is likely a broken angle gear collar sleeve or a bad module. If it doesn't, replace the pump and filter. Also inspect the Haldex control module for excess corrosion on the electrical connections, it is located on the Haldex unit attached in front of the rear differential.

No real easy way of knowing unless you have a specialist take the transmission apart and inspect all the parts.
Here we are, at 289k (04 V70 2.4l, AW55-50), and the fluid hasn't been touched in over 200k miles, if not 250k. The fluid certainly isn't red.. but not too black yet. I have some of these symptoms, but if you drive gently and are careful about downshifts at -30 Fahrenheit it shifts. I inherited this car at 258k, and the whole time everyone (my father, mechanics, forums) says don't change the fluid as the problems will get worse, because of the clutch material in the fluid helping shifts and because it already been neglected so much. Any thoughts on this?

Hi, could you help me please with some info? I am fairly new to Volvo. Bought a 2002 V70 station wagon about 2 yrs ago. I did a complete flush of the transmission & car has zero issues with 160K miles on it now. This is a non turbo car. My question is this: being a front wheel drive, does it have differential fluid that needs draining and replacing ? if so, what do I use ? and is there a video with the location of the drain bolts ? Finally, how often am I suppose to flush the transmission fluid? I did a complete flush, not a drain. I used up 12 quarts to do a complete flush. Thank you.

Also be aware that there is no bolt for filling the transmission with new fluid. You'll need to fill it through the dipstick hole. There is a bolt that looks like it's plugging a fill port, but that's actually keeping a metal band in place. You wouldn't be the first person to undo that bolt and then lose 3rd or 4th gear completely and that's not something that can be fixed without taking the gearbox apart.
