should be a little single wire connected to the air filter box. located on the clean side of the air filter. if not it will be between the air filter box and the throttle plate usually located on the air duct hose going from the air filter box to the throttle plate.

you will need to call volvo dealer with your vin number and they will give you the code for that vin# and car

Change your mass air flow meter.That give that problem.

do you know that petrol gauge is a sort of volt meter.there are five things requir to operate it.1st of all see to it that movement of gauge is working.give 1.5v of a battery directly to gauge for amoment if gauge doesn't move change the -ve to +ve even then it doesn't move it means gauge itself is faulty.if it moved look out for a wirewound resistor in fuel tank.if it is open then gauge will not work.if that is good look for voltage across resistor normally 12v are given.if 12 volts are there then look out for flot.connect a voltmeter to gauge,move the flot by hand very slowly and see if the varition in volt meter if it is not there then look out for connecting wires from gauge to fuel tank.i think you can do it now

2 things 1) safety lock is illegal to remove and just deactivates rear window switches, what happens when u sell car? 2) windows may not be designed to go all the way down, eq track is not long enough to go all way down

P0101 : Mass air flow censor, Air intake is blocked or the sensor is nackered.
P0172: System too rich bank 1. There's too much fuel, probably to do with the air fuel mix. If you sort the air flow meter that'll sort the two.

DID YOU TRY PUTTING KEY ON ACC W/RADIO DISPLAYING OFF WAIT 3 HOURS ENTER CODE AND IT SHOULD WORK OK

Push the volume button to switch it on..Then enter the code.

There should be a guide in the manual, or a diagram in the fuse box lid to point out witch fuse goes where.
Lighters use a fair bit of power, so i would look for a 20A fuse or higher.

Check this, hope it helps

you have damaged the connector...I's consider buying a generic filter, cutting off the connectors and using small hose clamps. 

Most likely the transmission range switch is failing.
Have someone check the transmission computer for codes.

check the wiring make sure there is not a open wire thats cut or not covered check that first.

I'm afraid you may have water in your oil, has the car recently overheated or have you driven through high water? Many times this is a sign of a blown head gasket. You should have it looked at and change the oil. Let me know how it goes and good luck. lone99star Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jason_77a19afa8d604dee
