I have a 2014 Volvo with a D13 672000 miles on it. My engine brake works fine on all three stages when I start it up for the day after the engine is cooled down. If I shut it off for a little bit and the engine does not cool down the engine brakes will not work in any stage. From what I am told there's only one solenoid and it only functions on stage 2 and 3 so to me it does not sound like it could be the solenoid because stage one is also not working. The mechanic I spoke to said stage 1 uses the turbo only. I have had a DPF and a DEF delete done on this truck. The guy who did the programming says it is not a programming issue and it must be mechanical. Nobody can tell me what the problem is. Has anybody experienced this and if so what was the resolution? Also because I know people will ask it is an I shift transmission so there is no clutch switch to check and the cruise control is fully functional.

1st thing....

i'd have the overhead checked again..... and have them do it when it's warm
we had a d13 that worked great when it was cold but when it was warm the jakes would stop and the fuel millage was around 6-6.5.... ended up being a bad head -

in our case we had the overhead run and the dealer didn't torque the valves right
because of that the bolt holes went out of round
remember that metal does change size with temp so when it was cold everything would be set right when they ran the overhead BUT when it would get warm the bolts would move and get out of spec.
it was a ##### to find (4 dealers) but when they did they had to replace the head -
