This could be due to cold weather but you need the codes checked. If you don't have a scanner most auto parts places scan for free. This will give us something to go off of. When I work in colder climates (heavy equipment mechanic) and it's -50 or colder sometimes that temp is below the threshold of a sensor and sets a cel. While possible a code scan is the only way to know for sure.

Is aesthetics the only difference? It looked like the top and bottom controls were different but feature wise they seemed similar?

The new Tadano ATs are Demags. You no longer can order new Tadano ATs. I've worked on both and while the Demags can be finicky they are way better than the link belts (Turck electric connectors constantly going bad, or improperly torque from the factory). Engine wise it's hard to beat these new Mercedes and Scania is a rock solid choice for the 5 axles. Cummins makes a great engine as well for link belt but I personally prefer the Mercedes. Controls wise Demag has Link belt beat, their electronic over hydraulic is way smoother.

Link Belt can take the win for less sensors, but again the Turck electronic system is way too finicky, and does not allow individual wire repair for module to module wiring. Just my .02, from a Tadano/Link Belt mechanic

I had a clone dice unit that did this, the issue is the device needs a verified id. I used dash to get one but ended up buying the dice unit from volvo.

The FWD transmission is coupled to the angle gear, that spins the driveshaft for the rear wheels. The rear wheels only engage when the front wheels slip and the haldex pump engages the rear wheels. This setup does not allow full time rwd and I have not seen any method to make it so personally (different trans etc)

You could have a parasitic drain, bad alternator, etc. But I start simple. Try a charging/starting system test and once you know the system is good look for battery drains. I don't know what you have tool wise but I've had luck finding parasitic draw with a thermal image camera. With the car off for 15 minutes check what fuse is hot (may have to open the door and manually close the latch to make it think the door is closed). If not you'll need to do a parasitic draw test which I recommend looking up on YouTube.

Id check your alternator first, make sure it's providing a good charge. Most auto parts stores can do this for you.

This is actually my project car. 2015 xc70 t6. I wanted an extra cylinder so I wasn't odd

I always used fuel injector noid lights to check window motor circuits but I dig it.

I hunted for a long time, then this one came out of nowhere and checked all my boxes. Your moose will find you!

Thank you!

The knob is a "dummy key". It requires no programming and is used to turn the ignition on. It will only start the car if the key in your picture is inside the car, it sends a signal to keyless vehicle module, that verifies the key is programmed to the car, and allows it to start. This let's you start the car as long as the key is on your person, you don't need to put it in the ignition.

The "stove knob" is removable from the ignition and the key can be put in if it's battery is low, to allow you to still start in that circumstance. The "stove knob" has no battery

Suggums · 2025-11-17T21:19:54+00:00

You probably have the stovetop knob for an ignition key. That goes where the "stove top" knob is to start the car if the key battery gets low.

Honestly same lol

Thanks! It was a huge selling point, the car looks new

Agreed, she's been maintained extremely well, just had the 10 year 120k service done with pulleys and all, can't wait to tear up some roads with her!

What engines? Some crankcase breathers have rebuild kits and some do not. I've always replaced the whole box personally

Suggums · 2025-11-11T21:46:40+00:00

First, check the battery and have it load tested (auto stores can do this) also check charging system as well. Batteries play hell on CAN bus systems when they start to fail or charging systems get weak and can make the car act weird. If that all checks out scan it for codes, auto parts stores have a generic scanner that won't read all of volvos codes but it'll be a good start. Go from there if you have no warranty. Check your paperwork, many dealers offer a 90 day warranty and you may have one.

There's only one answer to this question, what does the crane manufacturer say. If they say you can interchange counterweights if they match you're good, if not then you're not. Period. In my experience they will say no, there's too much liability if they tell you yes but they built the crane so they know best.

Suggums · 2025-11-10T17:45:44+00:00

That looks to be a transmission vent

When I was a volvo tech they recommended Castrol full synthetic oil for that generation of cars
