2010 A25 with 8.1L Gi - New OEM Volvo Actuator installed last year due to a seal leak. Excessive steering wheel play before and after actuator replacement. Does anyone have this problem or have seen this issue before?
Play is 90deg wheel movement left and right from center before actuator is engaged ...

Has anyone figured out how to remove these panels? I need to remove the panels on the driver side to get to the shifter throttle mechanism.

I have an A25 and the swim platform stopped working last weekend. You mentioned you had to replace a solenoid on yours, can describe where this solenoid is and part number. I have wiring diagrams but not sure where all of the components are located.
Thanks.

For reference, this is what my speedo gauge looks like.

Does anyone on here have the older version of non-button medallion gauges? Is there a way to scroll through to see different engine parameters?

Thanks for the quick reply. Gauges are working fine and no warnings at the gauges and the engine runs fine. The only reason I knew there was something wrong was because I get the warning beep from the sound device under the dash. I will start with unplugging the ECT and oil pressure lines at the ...

I posted about a ~45sec interval alarm I was getting before and was directed to a low battery voltage issue on my house battery which led me to find my ACR was not working. Replaced the ACR and that problem is fixed.
I am still getting a ~45sec interval alarm and 3 ...

Update: I checked and confirmed the original BEP VSR was not working. Replaced it with a Blue Seas ACR. Charging of both batteries is now working. I also installed the optional LED so I could easily check the ACR function but for some reason the LED is not working. I did re-check the wiring to make ...

Continuing this post over on the ACR post.

Starting a new post to link another post where the discussion shifted from a different topic to a possible ACR issue.
Not sure if this is the correct or best way to create a link to another post.

Should probably start a new post that is specific to the ACR. But for now here are some more pictures. The ACR is mounted on the backside of this panel where my finger is pointing.

When I get a chance I will take another picture to show exactly where it is.

Location of my ACR is under the port mid-seat where the battery switch is. You have to remove the panel that the battery switch is mounted to. When you remove the panel, it reveals an opening to a hidden cavity area, and the ACR is mounted down and in that cavity area. Access is blind so you can ...

Thank you for the heads up. The factory install did not use a fuse and goes directly to a ground post. Removing the ACR is going to be a PITA but when I get it out, I will check to see if there is a break in the ground wire before I replace the unit.

Thank you to those who replied, and hopefully what I found will be helpful to someone else.
