Hello
altho new you may have a whining water pump or tensioner or it may be over tensioned.

take a long screw driver & place in on the timing cover to try to here where the noise is coming from, this should help you find the proplem with the car

Hello, this is quite normal for lights to flash, Imagine being at a Cinema or Concert and half a dozen vehicles same model/colour parked in the area you thopught you left yours? Hitting the fob helps find your own vehicle, also lets you know that the vehicle is either Locked or unlocked.
Hope this FixYa's problem.

on the transmission.

There is a Volvo service bulletin on this as a problem. You should have your dealer fix this under the conditions of the Technical Service Bulletin that they they have for this. The service may be free.

You really don't want to do this yourself.

assume you know that rear caliper pistons have to be wind back ? so if pistons are still proud and unable to fit new pads? disconnect the h/brake links from both calipers and ensure they are not siezed ? try wd40 to manually free em ? so they move to fully off position ? then push back pistons fit new pads then pump brakes to auto adjust ? then you will have to adjust the h/brake cable/s with h/brake off to enable to reconnect to each caliper hope this is of help to you best wishes from uk

no way to soft release. your cd player is probably shot, that's why it wont' release the cd. you have to manualy force it to release the cd by either just pulling the cd out with some type pliers or taking the entire thing apart. eihter way it's a gonner. get a new one.

it could be a fan switch relay also. or a bad connection. or any type of thing. it's best to let the volvo dealer take care of the issues. volvo's are tricky to work on and they are best equipped with highly skilled and trained volvo technicians that would know more about volvo's than any other shop around.

take it to the dealer, they are best equipped to work on your volvo issues like no one else can.

dealer ... take it to them. they can get that fixed. no one else knows how to.

transmission gear or bearing problems. take it to volvo dealer only.

real major problems, take the car to the nearest dealer and leave it there. tell them everything the car is doing and when it does it as much as you can. you have some real issues that probably only a volvo dealer will know about. you can also ask them about any recalls that have been made on your car and hope this is one of them....then it's free to repair.

Coil Packs. There are two of them abou 120 a piece. Had the same problem among others. Ihave the same car same year.

remove the circlip

The rear window wiper could be any number of things, from a blown fuse to broken wires to a failed wiper motor. As for the "W" button, it's for Winter driving mode. It'll start the car off the line in 2nd gear to minimize torque to the road and thus control wheelspin, and it alters the shifting parameters of the car so that it remains as stable as possible in slippery conditions.

This is something worn in your drivetrain or steering components.

Odds are the alternator must always be removed to change a timing belt. The alternator is either up top or hidden own under the bottom. Either way if you think about it man it has to be pretty easy to find it has the belt connected to it.
