Hey Joe, yeah as you can see, I lost a bit of bark off my hands getting it back in. I managed myself ok, it just tested my patience. The module certainly needs to come off. Well done if you've completed this. Thanks for the comment mate.

Hi James, I had the same problem and bought the control unit from ebay which I knew was the problem but it didn't work. Volvo use to sell them separate but take you for a ride by selling the whole assembly. I had no choice and also bought the complete unit.

Removing the one screw for the transmission cooler, the clips on top like you showed, and removing the air filter box worked best for me.

The old lady and I just finished the install on the fan assembly. It was a bit of a pain in backside but by God we got her in there.

Awesome video. I bought the cooling module first and it didn’t fix my problem with the fans only coming on when starting the car. AC works great driving but idle it gets very warm and the engine gets very hot at idle too. What software are you using to monitor the temperatures on your PC? Thanks for the help. Debating tackling this myself or letting the shop install the part for around $1200 installed with labor.

Sounds like you have the same issue. I'm using VIDA software, running on a virtual machine and a DICE diagnostic usint (from ebay). It's a bit tricky to get set up, but been great for home diagnostics. The swap out/in job is very fiddly, as it's all very tight. My part cost $1200AUD alone, so you seem to have an OK price to have fitted as well (if USD). So long as that is including a proper Volvo part and not a 3rd party one, as if it were me I'd go original with all the muck about I've had with mine. FYI, mine is still running well. Latest project is new battery time!

Hi, thank for your question. For my model, I didn't need to remove any hoses at all. It's also not part of the instructions from Vida. It's very tight, but went exactly as I did in the video.

Hi. No, it is one of the few parts that just plug and play. No updates or software required. It should just work. Did you use an original Volvo part?
