This video saved me a lot of heartache and money! So thank you. I got that "slow down or shift up" message with a rough running engine. All kinds of worst case scenarios ran through my mind...even "Oh, no I don't want to buy a new/used car now with these inflated prices!" After watching this video, I discovered the problem ignition coil by finding which coil did NOT change the RPM/running of the engine. I got a new ignition coil for $62 and replaced it and now it runs like new. However, I read that the spark plugs and ignition coils should be changed after 100K, so I bought those on Amazon for about $140. I'll change them all when they come in.
I owe you more than a subscribe. Your video saved my day & week! Exactly what occurred on my 2011 XC90 w/ 138,000 miles on #4 cylinder. Great idea to unplug coils to find INOP coil and/or spark plug. No need with mine as my coil was beginning to melt. Thank You!
Thank you! Super helpful! Exactly what I had happen to me on Friday late afternoon. I have an old Volvo and now I can at least have a clue how much this might cost me to have it fixed this week. Best from Sweden!
Really usefull video! I got this message on my S60 T6 3.0L 2011 yesterday and the car was shaking like blender! then I saw the "Reduce Speed or shift up" on the dash which was really scary for me, I made my way back home after driving 65km in a very careful manner. This morning after watching your video I figure out the second ignition coil is not functioning anymore. Gonna buy a new one to replace the dead one while the performance one is coming. Thank you again! I was really hurried that could be the transmission or gear box
Make sure to check the 20amp fuse. After replacing the ignition coil, car still wouldn’t start. On my 2013 XC90 it was fuse #10 under the hood. Once replaced, car started up normally
Thank you so much... I had this happen on my way to Arizona in the mountains area. It freaked me out cause the car didn't want to move anymore. I put it on neutral and back to drive and it started moving again but with a heavy sound.
Sweet, thanks for the information. My wife’s 2008 XC90 with a 3.2 started the exact same thing tonight. If I can find this video again I’ll comment on it to confirm that it fixed hers too.
Its strange as exactly same thing happened on my V60 T6 3.0T last Tuesday, same warning on dash and limped car home, next day looked at engine and was also coil number 2, was literally melted and as you describe the rorrible burnt smell, replaced all 6 plugs as well. Volvo parts incredibly expensive unfortunately and went with after market Denso plugs and Denso coil. Would also recommend changing PCV oil trap on 3.0 & 3.2 and fuel rail regulator when over 100,000K just for preventive measures. Good video buddy 👍
This has happened to my 90 Two times. Discussed the issue with my mechanic. We believe it was caused by running a low octane fuel. Only Premium grade since with out any problems.
Mine has the same message, changed the plugs and coil but both 1 and 2 is still not changing the sound again and the fuse is good. It's a 2011 xc60 t6. Someone told me it might be the two pistons and I don't want to hear that. Please help me.
Im getting the same message on my 2007 s80 v8 checked all coils they're good, changed all 8 spark plugs. Also to mention im limited to 3k rpm but if i turn the car on and off or hold the brake and give gas as im starting the car to reach over 3k rpm the car just perfect with no misfire. Thanks any suggestions would be appreciated
@@kelseyouellette8710 since it won’t let you rev up past a certain point it sounds like your computer has put the engine into “limp mode”, which is done to try and prevent more severe damage to the engine. May be a problem with your timing chain? That’s the problem I had on my 2013 xc90
@@maliboysadventures901 I have a 2013 XC90 and i'm getting the same message as mentioned above so I checked all coils and there the engine noise changed on all so I'm assuming all coils are still good. How did you find out it was the timing belt
I just replaced my plugs and I did what you said and pulled the plug harness off each coil one at a time and found #6 didn't change the engine sound , so I went and bought a new coil and its still doing it .. do you think its the harness to that coil ?
Could very well be. One thing I forgot to mention in the video, as it was not an issue for me, was to check your fuses to make sure one didn't blow when your coil went out. On this XC90 it was it was under the hood, fuse 10 (ignition coils, engine control module). Check your manual for the correct fuses.
@@ominous-omnipresent-they it ended up being the fuel injector # 6 but now I have a problem with #2 ,that's why i'm back on here but I forgot I watched this so now i'm going to check coil
@@man.machine.element536 hey thanks for this video my man because i forgot I changed plugs problem is I bought all new fuel injectors cost me 1000 dollars and its still # 2 so it may be my coil .. I'll let you know thanks
Clutch video! Thanks to this, I was able to diagnose and repair with a $68 part in 5 minutes. SO easy once you showed everyone how! Thank you!

Yep, I just ran into this issue today. So thankful to have a video up on here already.

Awesome video. Just got the same message on my volvo and thought I needed a transmission

Me
Too 🤦🏽♂️
Thanks for making this! Nice and easy 👍
Thank you exactly what happened to my wifes Volvo yesterday
Thanks alot
Nice, interesting presentation, Thanks for posting
Where did you order the ignition coils and spark plugs from?
Thanks for the awesome video. We had the exact same shaking and message, “Reduce speed or shift up”. Did anybody else get the “Eject now!” message?
God bless you Man….
Thank you ❤

Wow! Spot on. Thanks!
Very well explained
Thanks
thanks for your information it did help a lot
Tremendous help.
Thank you for you! Much love
Super helpful; thanks!
Can I use a long spark plug to replace the shorter plugs? Thanks ..mines a 2011 xc90 t5
Which coil is named C?
Mine has the same message, changed the plugs and coil but both 1 and 2 is still not changing the sound again and the fuse is good. It's a 2011 xc60 t6. Someone told me it might be the two pistons and I don't want to hear that. Please help me.

I would have the codes pulled. If they tell you it is in fact a bad coil, easy fix.
Did you ever figure out your problem? Mine has the same problem...

Nice tidbit on fomoco owning Volvo. What is prickly pear?? I see it on your hat.
That is my go to grocery delivery service I use every time I go down to Los Cabos, Mexico. You should check them out. www.pricklypearcabo.com.
@@man.machine.element536 Oh I use Prickly Pear Grocery Delivery too man!! They're sweet!
I changed all of the ignition coil and still idling rough and the message still pops up
What website did you buy them from?
Did it shift rough?
Hey man, great video. Why not post some more of this stuff? Also why not post some flying and motorcycle stuff on here?

It could be an issue with your o2 sensor. I know, my information is 5 months a little too late.
