HelloThe
Engine and Automatic Transmission (not applicable to manual
transmissions) in this vehicles drive train are fully
electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM and TCM (Power
Train Control Module, Transmission Control Module). When a problem
like this or other drive-ability related problems occurs the computer
stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions
to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and
MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory,
to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned
with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must
perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the
problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED
TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD
EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. Also always
check fuel pressure for correct spec for your make and engine type.
Aerial
Thought i would reply to your lonely thread. I had to replace the aerial on my last 159 as it was broken when i first got it, i replaced it with a bee sting type off0 ebay didnt cost much was worried it might be a bit rubbish but turned out to be pretty good. As far as i can remember i managed to remove the rear end of the head lining (below the aerial) by popping off the two poppers holding the headling to the roof i then managed to disconnect the cable that connects to the aerial and undo what i remember was one nut that connects to the aerial thread inside car. The job was fiddly but only because i did not want to remove the head lining any more than i had to. but not difficult. without head lining in way it really would be a two minute job.Hope it helpsParts Of Bmw.
I athinking of buying a
You need to be careful about buying a Volvo unit that has no code.
The reason for this is that many Volvo radios cannot be easily decoded using the serial number alone. This means that whilst it is possible to obtain a code it is going to be more involved and expensive.
If you post up the serial and part numbers of the radio I can give you some more specific advice as to what can be done with this particular unit.
Thanks.
