    Bucket cylinder internal damage, what to look after repair?

    I guess I ll start by reaching the machine shop that repaired my hydraulic cylinder with the hope that he can help me. If not I ll try diy stuff like you mentioned @92U 3406 , because it 's just crazy that you cannot ask for a spool from the company that manufactured the Mcv (Linde in this case)...

    Bucket cylinder internal damage, what to look after repair?

    So no hope? I ve been looking for a control valve days now and nothing. New ones are prohibited. From 20k in China to 40k here in Greece from Volvo. I changed the filters in the hydraulic tank, and some debris found in there. I cleaned the tank it self. Now I m trying to save my self from paying...

    Volvo EW180C boom arm camera replacement

    If my attempt to get the OEM system to work, aftermarket display/camera system will be the way!

    Volvo EW180C boom arm camera replacement

    For sure I have an option to use an aftermarket system with display and as many cameras as I want... However I want to try and make use of the OEM display before I move on something else! @reganj by the wired camera I guess you mean hardwiring the camera on a 12v line? Then it will be always on...

    Volvo EW180C boom arm camera replacement

    Hey guys, my Volvo arrived with a factory camera attached to the bottom side of the boom arm. It's really nice to use when you dig deep but close to you. However the sensor was dead. I disassembled the unit and it was filled with dirt. I ordered a few 12v camera sensors from AliExpress. Not...

    Volvo EW180C issues with arm and bucket not having power

    Not yet unfortunately. As I said pressures was tested before installing the pattern change kit and were in spec. After that I think they did not check again...

    Volvo EW180C issues with arm and bucket not having power

    Unfortunately the moment the machine was imported was also sent to the dealer service. We did not do any operational work to test the functionality. But the pattern change kit was installed brand new from the dealer. One more thing (not related to the functionality): Any idea where the back up...

    Volvo EW180C issues with arm and bucket not having power

    Hm... Boom and swing however seems to load the pump and engine properly. One more thing, that however i have no clue if plays a role, is that on pattern swap valve the 2 sensors are not connected anywhere.

    Volvo EW180C issues with arm and bucket not having power

    Thanks for the quick reply! I m pretty sure about that because i push it hard enough and the pin also locks properly so i gues it 's pretty unlikely. About the debris however, what 's the possibility of both arm and bucket spools being clogged? Hydraulic fluid was also changed in the maintenance.

    Volvo EW180C issues with arm and bucket not having power

    Hey guys, i just bought an EW180C volvo from 2008. First thing i did was to send the machinery in Volvo dealer for a big service and a control pattern change kit, because i wanted the backhoe pattern as well. The dealer checked pressures and they were in spec. Today, first day of having the...
