Volvo XC 90 - whistling problem with waste valve on turbine -> I think.

From start I hear a whistling sound in my car and it changes with rpm. With my friend we checked all the 'pipes' and found no hole or oil leak anywhere and later we found out that the whistling sound is making waste valve. We also checked the turbine itself and looks OK it doesn't have to mach free space. Is it possible it is some kind of waste valve problem???

A whistle is a hard thing to figure out, mainly because the tiniest hole can make a sound, even one that cannot be seen. I a a like problem with my intake manifold, I finally found it by carefully using starting fluid in small localized area along the manifold and when I found the hole the engine rpm came up then back down, but I could not see the hold even with a magnifier glass. So am not sure how to give you any ideas on how to check to find a hole you cannot see in your case, but I know even a antenna on your car can if bent slightly will also whistle on some models (this is why some antennas have a small wire wound around the main shaft, to break the wind passing the antenna.) Good luck on figuring this one out.

The location of the accumulator dryer volvo xc 90 2008 im trying to find the dryer under the hood

This is an expansion valve system, not an orifice tube system. Expansion valve systems don't have an accumulator, they have a receiver/dryer and it's right next to the condenser.

How do I replace the broken upper engine mount in a Volvo XC 90 2004

You have to remove the plastic cover on the valve cover and then you will be able to see the bolts holding the upper mount on. The rest is self explanatory.

The display lights on the stereo of my 2004 xc 90 don't work. The knobs don't light up either

Dealers are expensive place to get parts, so be ready for that with your Volvo XC 90 2004. Try a local salvage yard, ebay, or some other web site to get a replacement part. Otherwise, expect about $100 to fix a broken taillight.

CHECK FOR VACUUM LEAKS. MOST OF THE TIME YOU WILL HEAR A WHISTLING NOISE OR A SUCKING SOUND. YOU CAN GET A CAN OF SPRAY CARB CLEANER AND SPRAY AROUND ENGINE,IF ENGINE CHANGES RPM'S THAT AREA IS OF CONCERN. POSSIBLE AIC VALVE STICKING OR SLOW TO RESPOND.
