    Leak from water distribution housing

    Don’t know about a premade kit. But it can be done in the water once you break the vacuum by removing the blue plug on the thermostat housing.

    Volvo Penta 2015 codes 697, 698, 699

    Sorry the first dealer steered you wrong. Unfortunately these newer engines can require trained technicians to diagnose them.

    Volvo Penta 2015 codes 697, 698, 699

    Thanks for the S/N. You have a V8-270-C-B it was built in 2012 or 2013 but was put into service in 2015. The page you posted in the screen shot isn't for your engine. STOP using this diagnostic manual and get a copy of EGC diagnostics part number 7749393. This is why a serial number can be soo...

    Volvo Penta 2015 codes 697, 698, 699

    i hope I didn’t post that. If I did I was wrong. Those codes can only be ignored with can bus gauges. If you have analog gauges and also have those codes……….. the gauges won’t be working. But that only depends on certain serial numbers. If you read the page that you posted it talks about the...

    2019 Volvo V8 380 C-M won't start unless i give it throttle

    Yes that’s an exhaust manifold water temperature sensor. And no it couldn’t cause the issue you’re having. I don’t know why it wasn’t seated. It screws into a blind hole so no water would leak and I don’t think it would affect the operation of the sensor. The problem with inspecting a wiring...

    Volvo Penta 2015 codes 697, 698, 699

    The engine serial number is the best way to determine what engine you have and what those codes mean.

    2019 Volvo V8 380 C-M won't start unless i give it throttle

    Thanks for the IVS recording -- much easier to watch -- thought I might have seen something in the first scan you posted. IVS looks good. But when I took a second look at the first scan, I noticed that the engine wasn't up to operating temp. That can change many things. Might want to rerun the...

    Volvo Penta 2015 codes 697, 698, 699

    Welcome to iBoats! Volvo made many different engines in 2015 and just because the boat is a 2015 doesn't mean the engine is. The engine serial number is the best way to determine what engine you have and what those codes mean. What tool are you using to to read these codes?

    Volvo Penta 280 Drive Shaft Nut Clearance

    .001" isn't much ------ but we have a saying in all the drive schools I have attended. "better lose than tight" I would recommend you keep at it. Some drives take more time them others, but getting it right is possible.

    2019 Volvo V8 380 C-M won't start unless i give it throttle

    Wow, level 2 overheats. That would have forced the engine down to idle. Is it possible this current problem started after these overheats? I don't see any freeze frame data. Maybe techmate calls it history? Anybody else who has used techmate pro know how to view freeze frame in a fault? I've...

    VP 2014 300Hp V8 duo-prop, 35 regal twin fly-by-wire

    I was looking up something for another post and found this in the diagnostic manual for this engine. DTC 2135 TPS 1/2 Simultaneous Voltages Out-of-Range (SPN-51 FMI-31) This fault will set if the throttle position and redundancy is lost. During this active fault the MIL light will be on and...

    2019 Volvo V8 380 C-M won't start unless i give it throttle

    SPN 697 is for the analog temp gauge driver and usually means you don't have analog gauges connected to the system --- very common. Generally will also have 698 + 699 for the oil pressure and trim gauge drivers. Yes for sure look at the other codes and check if you can see freeze frame info...

    240 v6 alarms for over heating upon startup

    If you can't scan the engine, about the only thing else I can think of is to check the wires between this sensor and the ECM for opens and shorts to power or ground.

    Volvo Penta 280 Drive Shaft Nut Clearance

    Looks like the right manual. If you changed the seal and washer, you had to remove the u-joint yoke and should now recheck the prestressing. Prestressing is handled one of two different ways on Volvo. Crush sleeve which isn't reusable and must be replaced if it has been crushed once before or...

    2019 Volvo V8 380 C-M won't start unless i give it throttle

    This ECM will store codes 3 places. Active, Previously Active and Pending. Codes will be reported in the SPN/FMI format and the technician will use the manual to covert them to a DTC to troubleshoot. It would be interesting if there are any codes.

    VP 2014 300Hp V8 duo-prop, 35 regal twin fly-by-wire

    This is very interesting because it goes against what is printed in all of Volvo’s diagnostic manuals. There are some codes that will prevent a start on these engines, but they mainly deal with checks that the ECM preforms on itself at key on. And they mostly deal with internal processor...

    2019 Volvo V8 380 C-M won't start unless i give it throttle

    Didn’t know you had a scan tool. I haven’t used the techmate pro so I don’t know what it’s capable of. But in Diacom you would look in the Throttle Monitor section and see what the IVS (Idle validation switch) is doing at closed throttle and when it turns off as you advance the throttle. Also...

    Leak from water distribution housing

    Yup, I’ve replaced a few of these. Always because of bad winterizing. If you can’t do it properly it’s probably best to remove the system. Also a bad system in saltwater, really want closed cooling in salt.
