Volvo Tech Tip: Rear Suspension Popping/Spring Noise

While driving over small road disturbances, a popping or spring noise might be heard from the rear suspension of certain S60, V70, S80 and XC90 models. This could be caused by the rear coil spring chaffing against the lower spring seat.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation Operation and Diagnosis

Since exhaust gas does not burn, this lowers the combustion temperatures and reduces NOx emissions from the engine.

Exhaust gas recirculation is the dilution of the air/fuel mixture to control amounts of exhaust gas. Since exhaust gas does not burn, this lowers the combustion temperatures and reduces NOx emissions from the engine. At lower combustion temperatures, very little of the nitrogen in the air combines with oxygen to form NOx. Most of the nitrogen is simply carried out with the exhaust gases.
