This video shows how to do some simple multimeter tests on the starter motor and this video shows how to interpret live data to narrow down the issue.
I'm following your channel on youtube since I bought this car. You rock, I'm not a mechanic and it's been very helpfull for me following your videos. I've almost downloaded all of those related to volvo D5. I have to say thank You for sharing all that great stuff and for the clarity of speech.

The problem is that when the engine is hot, it doesn´t crank at all, it behaves like a dead battery. The starter tries to turn over, but it seems it doesn´t have enough power and the voltage drops to 9.3v.
The attached image from torque, shows the data after switching off engine and trying to start it again.


Thanks
