turn your ignition key to the first position acc and wait for 2 hrs, then you radio will show code again turn the middle knob to the proper number and push it to enter, it will jump to the next one and so on good luck!

what you can do is adjust the idle at the throttle. if that fails then maybe air flow meter?

agree, idle control valve is a stretch. I would check the EGR valve for proper operation and clean the hoses if they are dirty. If not that, maybe the MAP sensor is off. Does it cut out when you open the throttle or even when you just stop at the intersection?

hi,

just plugs only get changed at 40k and 80k sevices.

please check what one have you just had ?

goodluck.........

ON EACH END OF THE FUEL FILTER THERE SHOULD BE A LOCKING CLIP RELEASE THE LOCKING CLIPS AND YOU MIGHT HAVE TO TRY AND TURN THE FILTER TO RELEASE IT FROM THE FUEL LINE, BUT IF YOU PULL AND TURN AT THE SAME TIME THE FILTER WILL COME OFF

should be underneath just past the rear axle going toward the front of the car

are the flexible brake lines on right ?? not twisted

You're park brake may be faulty or if you have anit-lock brakes, there is a sensor next to the brakes that may be bad. It's simply letting you know it may need replaced or serviced.

If you have ABS, (anti-lock brakes), you're brakes will still work fine, however you will not have the anti-lock brake feature. If you slam on the brakes you brakes will lock up.

Consider taking the car to an auto parts dealer and consulting with a representative or a brake specialist such as Les Schwabb or such.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Check the light socket with a 12 volt test light to be sure you have 12 volts to the light terminal and check that the socket has a good ground.Let me know if you need more help.MOE

It's always a good idea to have someone with a Volvo code reader take a look and let you know exactly what codes are causing the problem.

That being said, a flashing check engine light means there is a Misfire in one or more cylinders. From personal experience, I'd say you can start with checking the plug wires where they plug into the spark plugs, the plastic may be cracked and they may be arcing to the block. This will probably be the easiest problem to identify, the others will be a bit harder and should first be diagnosed by finding out which codes are stored in the on board computer.

You might get it $50 cheaper at your local autoparts store, but you asked for the best...

you are way better off just buying a rebuilt axle shaft. its way cheaper than replacing individual joints and alot easier.

You maybe should of changed all the springs, also the one you done, the shocker could of extended out to far and is not now working correctly causing the problem.

You will need a 16 flute removal tool, laser tools do one about £5

Hi,
There will be a wire on the injector pump that closes the FUEL SHUT OFF VALVE. The wire may have broken or come disconnected.
You may have to ask someone to help find the injector pump.

Happy Trails.

THE GDI ENGINE SUFFERS FROM EXTREME "COKING" - DEPOSITS THAT STICK AROUND THE VALVES AND PREVENT PROPER OPERATION, RESULTING IN POWER LOSS. REPAIR CAN BE EXTENSIVE AND COSTLY ESPECIALY IF YOU START TO HEAR A RATTLE ON IDLE. THE FIRST STEP I WOULD SUGGEST IS, TRY USING FUEL ADDITIVES SUCH AS WURTH FUEL/GAS/VALVE TREATMENT THESE ADDITIVES ARE QUITE CAPABLE OF CLEARING OR CLEANING CONTAMINATED PARTS IN TIME.

GOOD LUCK

You probably need to reprogram the security code for it. this should be written down in your owners manual. If not you can obtain it by contacting your local Volvo dealer and giving them your VIN number.
