Check the fluid level in the power steering reservoir and also see if it needs flushing. You could probably "cheat' a flush by using a turkey baster to suck out all the fluid and replace it with fresh fluid, then a day or so later, repeat it. Do this a few times until the fluid remains pretty clean (meaning you've replaced it all) and see if it behaves normally. Going from memory, I think your car needs a specific Pentosin fluid (CH11? CH202? something like that) - make SURE you get the right fluid.

This is not the torque converter the noise stops which means it was a torque converter.If you have a dull clunking it is crank shaft if it is a metallic slapping it is rod's now that's a start.

I have similar problem different vehicle, my ignition was not connecting well and the glow plugs were not initially getting properly hot, not sure how to fix it/ I disconnected the battery entirely and unplugged what I could and switched # 1 for #3 plug and waited overnight and charged the battery out of the truck, next day put all back and attached battery and started right up right since , so try take out battery and charge better first.

did you try testing the ecm or ignition module? try out those two for starters.

Close the boot lid..... No, seriously now. It will probably be the sensor that is at fault. Don't know where yours will be. It could be in the lid lock, around the lid or lip of the boot where the lid fits to the boot opening normally under a rubber cover. You may be able to fool the car into thinking it is shut by bypassing the switch. Disconnect the wires to the switch (when you find it) and either leave the 2 wires disconnected (for a switch that is activated by the circuit being open) or connect the 2 wires together (for a switch that is activated by being closed). Try it without connecting together first and if this doesn't work then try connecting them together. Once you find the correct way then wrap in insulation tape to prevent any shorting out. Remember though that this will mean that if you drive with the boot open you will get no indication on the dashboard. Also your boot light may not now work.

Probably you'll say: I already knew that, I expect soe concrete answer, but there is no other answer that you radio is defective and you should take it to a repair service.Now, do you really enjoy AM? With XM, FM and MP3 around, I've not listened to an AM transmission since about 10 years.

Why don't you just ask Volvo service center or have the scan tool used by a chain auto parts store?
