    2016 Volvo L70H P228f00 and P016f00

    These codes both are related to rail pressure not meeting target. Anything and everything in the fuel system can cause this, but electrical issues can as well. Did you remove the fuel tank and clean it out first of all? Flush the entire system? Look for contamination in the lines, connections...

    L150H Volvo loader

    MO2501 generally signifies the turbocharger and FMI is an abnormal update rate. This may be a communication issue with the VGT but you should have an ISO code, a letter followed by 6 digits. The old SAE code format is not used on the H series loaders. The proper code would help clarify the...

    2008 volvo ec140cl slow right track and bucket curl

    The 2 sensors with the green housing are in deed the pump output sensors. Swapping them can help determine if one of them is bad but that is all it may do. You will have to remove them and install in the opposite location keeping the connectors where the are.

    2008 volvo ec140cl slow right track and bucket curl

    Were you in hi speed for both travel motors and was that 3 revolutions? what are cycle times in low speed? How is swing speed? If OK and the travel speeds were 3 revolutions in hi speed then it sounds like there is an issue with P2. This could still be a sensor issue and the only way you can...

    2008 volvo ec140cl slow right track and bucket curl

    Were these times in auto or manual mode? Either way all the cycle times look slow, just some are much worse than others. Make sure you are in auto mode and the machine is at operating temp when measuring cycle times. I like to measure 3 cycles of each function and average them. Track speed is...

    2008 volvo ec140cl slow right track and bucket curl

    The pressure sensor values for the different functions are the servo values. As long as the reach around 550psi or greater and increase proportionally with the movement of the joystick, then those pressures are fine. Perform the cycle time testing first then try traveling in manual mode. Then...

    2008 volvo ec140cl slow right track and bucket curl

    @ROPecht For any hydraulic related performance complaint I always recommend measuring cycle times on all functions. Travel L, R forward, reverse, high and low speeds, boom up, down, arm in, out, bucket in, out, Then as @uffex stated run it in manual mode to see if the complaint remains. Do not...

    Injector sleeves on Volvo L120H

    Before you go to the trouble of removing the sleeves pressurize the cooling system and check for coolant at the top of the injector cups. And 10k hrs on injectors is beyond what I usually see.

    Volvo EC250 EL Theory of Operation question

    I don't believe the two faults are related unless current is dropping far below what is needed to power the ECU's properly. The EBDS (electronic battery disconnect switch) is really just a big solid state relay. It can send full current or reduced current depending on the needs of the system...

    Volvo 160 smoking

    Pretty sure FWF is correct. The injectors have to be oriented correctly or the spray pattern will spray out of the bowl in the piston. This usually causes black smoke and can cause some fule in the exhaust which when mixed with soot can be mistaken for oil. The dots on the injector should face...

    Volvo EC250D questions

    You should have 4 button joysticks so if not enabled you would have to have a dealer tech come out and enable the parameter for the 2 top buttons to work the X1 function. Have you tried the top 2 buttons on the right joystick? Of course there could be an open in the circuit causing them not to...

    L70G Transmission failure

    Have you done any further disassembly? You may find more wrong internally. It is strange to see a failure at that point as that is just the support for the end of the shaft
