Traction control
Please help, I have a 2004 XC90 that has a few issues, most serious is the loss of power ( goes into a sort of limp mode ) because the traction control won't work until I turn the DSTC off then it is fine but I really want this sorted any advice or help would be.very helpful. I also have a problem with the steering this also losses its power and becomes very hard to turn.

Your first problem really requires the car is plugged in to a specialist Volvo code reader, such as VIDA, to see what is going on. There are far to many things it could be to simply guess from afar I'm afraid.
I have it on good authority that PAS pumps can fail as mileage climbs beyond 100k, so that might be the problem. A new exchange unit isn't super expensive, even fitted at the dealer. However, there are other potential causes so its worth getting it checked. Let us know how you get on.

You need to get the codes read, as said above, this will likely tell you exactly what the problem is with the traction control system. Often it's a cracked reluctor ring on the front driveshafts that cost less than £10 and take about 40 mins to fit.
With regard to the PAS - first step is change the fluid, if that doesn't help then you could try changing the pump but a dealer can do a pressure test which will tell you if its the pump or the rack. Changing the pump is a doddle. Changing the rack... not so much...
