Hi Scotty,
I live in Bristol, UK. Recently, I have bought Volvo xc90 T6 petrol engine, with gearbox issues. It has a semi-automatic transmission. The car goes reverse, but goes forward with only manual gear 3. Other manual gears (1 and 2) and automatic gear option D do not work. I asked my local garages for repairs but they said they are not specialists in automatic transmission problems. Today I have bought an OBD II scanner (Autel MaxiLink ML629 Automotive OBD2 Scanner, 2020 Newest Upgraded of AL619, ML619, Car Code Reader Check Engine ABS SRS Transmission Diagnostic Scan), but it cannot connect with car. No power comes after connection. Now, before going for any expensive repair, I will be grateful if you kindly give me some suggestions.
Big reason not to buy one of those money pets you are going to have to find a Volvo transmission expert to work on anything and pray like mad that is an electronic failure and not internal transmission damage which would probably cost you more to fix and you paid for the vehicle.They are far from the old 1960s and 70s Volvos that could go millions of miles
