Transmission extra oil cooler

spudd · Oct 8th, 2016, 19:42

Does anyone know of an add on automatic transmission oil cooler for a 2005 xc90 d5. I can drive several hundred miles with no issue, then if I push it the transmission service required message appears. re set counters and off we go again. I have a new valve body to fit,but thought whilst at it I could possibly add another cooler. anyone knows of a kit and fitting instructions be much appreciated.

I have used cooler , thermostatic valves & remote oil filter heads from Mocal

http://www.mocal.co.uk/products.html to reduce auto trans temps , the addition of a remote oil filter allows you to fit a mean of removing junk from your fluid rather than have it swirling round the inside of the gearbox . You do not require fancy hydraulic hose fittings as the line pressure is quite low . I use double ear O clips to secure the hoses to steel pipe , jubilee clips become oval & do not really exert enough pressure to make a complete seal .

Hope this helps

Are you thinking that cooler oil will reduce problems in your box spudd?
Mine has gremlins when really hot and is at the point of changing gear but not under acceleration.
I the oil never got hot the gearbox would not jump.......
I'm sure mine is just sticky solenoids and I'm happy to put up with it and may well oil change it again next summer to see if yet more clean oil will unstick the solenoids.
What is your aim with an oil cooler?
Are you doing heavy towing maybe?

Don't tow with it have td5 for that. I think it has same problem as yours. I have a new valve block but don't have the time to fit it before going to Ireland in a fortnight. it will go for some distance no problem, but if I accelerate hard it goes into limp mode. get code tcm-002f and transmission service. I have changed oil gibbons method, and reset counter with vida dice. well I think I have ,new vida user prob doing something wrong.

I think you need to go through the full adaption process spudd, I haven't done mine as my box adapted itself ok.
Did you find out what that code was?

luggsey · Oct 9th, 2016, 12:24

Just looked it up, it's a mis-match in speed between gearbox and torque converter.
Some say it never happens when cruise control is used indicating an electrical / software problem?
Others have had a software upgrade that increases pressure on the torque converter lockup?
A couple of things to check out there spudd?

mines been behaving like that for the last few years, but getting ever so slowly worse, perfect when cold but flares 3rd to 4th when hot, I did a fluid flush a couple of months ago , 12 lts in the end and its made no improvement at all

If you have the 163 engine with AW55 - Volvo did do a kit but *I think* they only recommended it for the 2.5T engine.
