Make the timing belt is installed properly, otherwise all the intake valves will be bent because it is a high interference combustion chamber. Check compression after properly timed. If you are off any teeth at all the head will need to come back off to get repaired.

You may need new spark plugs and air filter too but you can reset everything back by taking the negative battery cable off and then turning your ignition key to the on position and then turning on the headlights, heater and radio. after 30 minutes has passed then turn everything back off and don't forget the headlights and key and then re-attach the battery cable making sure you get it good and tight. Then start it and see if the light is still on. If so there is one other thing you might try. I just got through talking to someone who wanted to reset the alarm systen on their rig. The said the just turned the ignition key on and let it sit for 10 minutes unstarted and the light went out. Just an idea. Let me know, Raz

You need a new Throw out Bearing.

Sounds like the vehicle is not charging you may need a new alternator get the car going with jump leads again and test the voltage at the battery terminals with a DC volt meter expect 13.5-14.5 if you get less than 13.5 your alternator is bad or wiring fault also check the alternator belt is tight.

Should be 2 plugs on the gear box. Lower is for draining and the upper is for filling. You fill it to just at the base of the fill hole for proper level.

Need more imfo to tell me what,s goin On Need to Know Are you losing Oil Are you losing trhat could be why you Smokin ?

All I see here is a story about your cars performance or lack there of,no question I see no test results I don't see where you checked for OBD Codes Had a repair shop try & diagnose or test anything YET-- you know it doesn't work properly & continue to drive it I ALWAYS park all my vehicles, when I First notice something a miss & start to find out why I NEVER use them with a problem No mention of Preventative Maintenance, that has to be done a couple times a year on something

on Most cars it means to take it in for routine maintenance, Oil change etc. A lot of newer cars have this feauture to remind you to do the oilchanges.

Read my other posts to the same problem. if the noise goes away with the oil filler cap removed you need to replace the oil filter housing and hose. good luk

You need to release the bonnet from the release catch under by the steering wheel. Normally Red in colour. You need to pull it towards you.
When you go to the bonnet it should be slightly raised up. Put your hand in the middle and there should be a small handle catch for you to push to one side . you should be able to pull the bonnet up then.

What codes are being stored. Never heard of the injectors going bad in my many years of dealer experience

My S40 T5 makes a whirring sound due to the turbo but.... I did have an issue with the right front hub bearing. Lots of road noise while driving and it got louder as I accelerated. $215 dollars for the part.

The only thing I can suggest is you do it by trial and error . Remove 1 fuse at a time and see which other components stops working replace it and check the next one and so on. When I had a car that's what I did but there could be more than one component to a fuse .eg the radio could share a fuse with something else check if there is anything else not working .

I assume you don't have the owner's manual. I suggest start pulling fuses. If the fuse is blown, you'll see it. Most gas stations and big box stores sell variety packs of fuses for a couple bucks. If you do have the manual, it will give you the location. You can find some good into on volvo-forums.com as well.

It means the passenger side airbag is off. Did you have something (or a child) in the passenger seat at the time?
