It will stop the search if you push the exit button, I also believe the dealer can do a software uprgrade to prevent it from happening again.

probably telling you a taillight or stop light is out on the car check all rear lights including the high mount stoplight

Sometimes tires get noisier as they wear out. Check the tread depth on the tires, see how close it is to the minimum. At 43k miles you're probably gonna need new tires pretty soon anyway.

There may just be one screw that holds, one end of the cover, then you can slide it off. But you will have to bend over backwards.
The fixings may be star bits, but other than that, just regular bolts and nuts.
Hope that helps.

look in the o/m for a relay in the fuse panel that controls the headlights it's not a fuse its a little silver box about the size of the search box on this page sometimes these will go bad and cause the headlights to cycle

Hi, I read your question and you dont have to worry about the convencional oil at the moment, but sinthetic oil is higly recomended and it realy help to protect not only the turbo but the engine too ,allways try to use the same brand and type of oil ,Mobil 1 is a great choice but you can do your own research.....good luck.......

The flasher is likley blown. In most of these it is under tha dash right ubove the drivers left leg. It is shaped like a cube and black. It pulls straight out. You can get a replacment at most auto parts stores.

yes maybe water goes in the relay but i seen window go down for no reason on volvo got the computer reprogram and everything is good because the master window switch is programmable good luck pierre

hello theres really not many choices if you have a trunk key it should work if not and the inside trunk release isnt working either you could try to get at the lock setup from the back seat take your lower seat out remove the lower holding bolts slide up off the top lock setup see if theres enough room to work from there to pop the trunk open with a flash light and a screwdriver if not your going to have to pop the lock cylinder at your trunk once its out you can get a aftermarket replacement under $ 20 goodluck please rate
