Are the transmissions the same on the 2008 Volvo XC90 4.4-litre V8 and the 3.2-litre 6-cylinder?
On paper, yes. Both variants use the Aisin AWTF-80 six-speed automatic transmission. But whether they’re interchangeable or not is a bit more complicated to answer. You may find there are detail differences such as where the sensors are mounted and perhaps the bolt pattern itself. And there could also be differences in the specification of the torque converter in each case.
A transmission specialist dealing with these makes and models might be able to give you a clearer idea of interchangeability, but fundamentally, yes, they’re the same transmission.
What does "Full Guard" mean in a 2005 Volvo V70?
This dashboard message refers to the level of security being offered by the car’s factory alarm system. Generally, you will see this message if you’ve somehow turned off the car’s interior motion sensors (that detects a break-in to the car). At this point, the car is set to Limited Guard mode. When you next start the car, the system should default back to the sensors turned on, and the car will offer the Full Guard message to let you know this has happened.
If the message was Full Alarm (rather than Full Guard) there’d probably be less confusion, but in this case the translation to English from Swedish seems a bit off.
Where is the Volvo EX30 made & manufactured?
The Volvo EX30 is built at the Volvo Group's Zhangjiakou plant in China, with final assembly taking place in Chengdu, China.
