After much frustration and research. It wasn't an issue with the seal, bumpers, or latch assembly at all. It was the metal striker plate mounted to the floor of the car. There is a plastic bit on the striker that was missing on mine. It was cheap through FCP and now the hatch closes easily without much effort at all. I also re-attached the panel again since it had come loose again from all the slamming. Finally have this car to where there are no more glaring issues! *knocks on wood* Picture of new striker plate with the bushing intact. Your post made me ck mine, and while the plastic piece is there, it has a groove worn on the underside. You're referring to the piece in the center, yes? Do you have a P/N handy? Not seeing it on fcp site..? UPDATE: NM; right after I posted this, I found it! https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo-trunk-lock-actuator-motor-850-9485477 Glad you're finally enjoying the car again after all that work!

quiksilver Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Please confirm the above. My plastic 'sleeve' on the body mounted latch is missing a section/cracked. I will give you my firstborn if this fixes my squeak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This plastic piece was broken off on mine and the latch was metal on metal making it squeak. Also, the hatch shuts much easier now. I don't have to slam it because the plastic piece pushes deeper into the latch making it click closed sooner. No firstborn needed, just give FCP $13.49 for a new OEM piece.

It doesn't matter how good it looks, I replaced mine with a new one and it's so much easier and smoother. you don't realize how much more pleasant of an experience a smooth operating accelerator pedal can be haha. Dang you! It's because of this post I've noticed my cable must be sticky too.. Frik; throw one of those in the next parts order.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuner4life Posted January 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Car threw a code P0455 and P0442 yesterday for an evap leak. I'm guessing that it's the hoses above the Canister behind the front bumper because (1) It's the only freakin thing in the evap system that I haven't touched yet, and (2) Drove through quite a bit of snow and ice the other day and there was some packed into the area where the canister mounts. I'm sure that isn't great for things. Anyways, yay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuner4life Posted February 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Scratch that, wife didn't put the gas cap back on right whens he filled up. All better now. Gotta have a talk about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuner4life Posted February 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Got a call from the wife this morning. She went through a puddle this morning pulling into a parking lot to get gas and a couple minutes later while leaving the gas station, it threw a P0133 and P0422 code and when she went to pull out on the road it wouldn't go, just hesitated and sputtered for a few seconds. Long enough that she put the hazards on because she was going so slow.. It did eventually take off and go, but she claims it's idling kind of rough. I haven't seen it myself yet, just what she told me. I had her check the codes (Yeah I just leave the code scanner in the V70R permanently now because there is always something screwing up). The P0133 is the front O2 sensor and the P0422 is the catalytic converter efficiency code which could be the rear O2 sensor. I'm pretty sure both sensors are less than 2 years old Bosch units. What's the odds that they are both bad at the same time? The car has a EST downpipe, but is still has a catalyticc converter. Thinking about removing it completely.. Should I just clear the codes and wait for things to dry out and hope for the best? I am so over spending money on this thing. I have other projects that need to be done and were put on hold until after this project was completed, which it has been and is still consuming all of the resources. Freakin yay. PS: also lost the right rear plastic under-shield in front of the right rear wheel the other day in a snow storm, so I'll be looking for one of them soon as well, might just make something out of thick aluminum too. who knows.

Going there now You sure it's p0175? That's bank2?! Maybe some O2 sensor harnesses got damaged from driving through deep snow? I'd ck fuel pressure too.. Let us know what you find..

tuner4life Posted February 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Sorry, It was a P0172 code. Rich condition on bank 1. I didn't have my fuel pressure gauge with me at the time, but when you push on the bleeder on the fuel rail, it seemed to have a good amount of pressure when you turn the key on. And it did smell like gas when you try to start it. I looked over several different sensors and plugs (anything I could get to from the top), but I didn't see anything out of wack. There are no vacuum leaks that I could spot easily, tried unplugging the MAF to see if it would start that way and still nothing. Thinking it must be a spark issue, but not sure where to start yet. We had it towed home and didn't get there until late. I'll work on it tonight and see what I can find. Luckily I have a fully functional C70 at my disposal to test parts from if needed. Also a friend is bringing his good scan tool which will read live data and stuff, so that should help greatly in diagnosing the issue The other theory I have is that there may be water in the gas. We have had a record amount of rain here over the last few days and there are many areas that are flooded out. It wouldn't surprise me if there was some water in the gas stations tanks since it started acting up as she was pulling out of the gas station lot after filling up. I'll extract some gas tonight and see if there is any water in the system. My thoughts on the matter from last night: That is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyb5 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Damn dude that's so frustrating. Should be pretty simple to see if it's getting spark though. Good luck, and I hope it's something simple!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuner4life Posted February 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) As it turns out the recent rain/monsoon/flooding around here must have compromised the gas station's supply. My wife had already got re-directed and was taking a different route to work due to roads being flooded over, so this was an unfamiliar gas station. The first thing I checked was the quality of the gas. I pulled the gas in the below picture right out of the end of the fuel rail via the bleeder. Overall, we ended up pulling almost 8 gallons of water out before we got solid gasoline. We drained as much as possible and refilled with a couple bottles of Heet and some fresh premium from the local BP that I know has good quality gas. A little spray of ether and it fired right up and after sputtering for a minute or 2, it seems to be running much better now. I have a call in to the Phillips 66 Corporate number about compensation. We'll see how that goes. Edited September 25, 2018 by tuner4life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
