I have a 2006 volvo 2.0 d we recently replaced cutch kit but the clutch is sticky and its losing fluid

If the clutch is engaging while you are pressing the pedal and you are losing fluid either the clutch master cylinder or the clutch slave cylinder is bad. If the fluid is leaking from the firewall on the drivers side its the clutch master cylinder. If the fluid is leaking from the transmission area its the slave cylinder.

My engine light stays one. What is the cause

You need to have your problem fixed, if already fixed and engine still stays on then, you need to have the error code deleted on the ECU (electronic computer unit). You can do this with a ODB port reader if you have one or have it done in a workshop.

When i turn key to start the power steering pump starts running and car not starting

you may have got water into the electrical connections and shorted them out. Unfortunately there is not a lot of ways to check this other than just going connection by connection and checking if functional.

2006 s40 volvo emergency trunk release wont work

try having someone jiggle the trunk up and down from the outside while you pull on the emergency release from the inside, you may have a problem with the wiring in the trunk itself, the wires have a problem chaffing where they come out of the trunk lid and go into the car, you can disconnect both ends and replace that for about $30

What is the diaagnostic code p0171 for a 2006 volvo s4

Basically this means that an oxygen sensor in bank 1 detected a lean condition (too much oxygen in the exhaust). On V6/V8/V10 engines, Bank 1 is the side of the engine that has cylinder #1. Note: This DTC is very similar to P0174, and in fact your vehicle may show both codes at the same time. Symptoms You will more than likely not notice any drivability problems, although there may be symptoms such as a lack of power, detonation (spark knock), and/or a hesitation/surge on acceleration. Causes A code P0171 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
  • The MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor is dirty or faulty. Note: The use of "oiled" air filters may cause the MAF to become dirty if the filter is over-oiled. There is also an issue with some vehicles where the MAF sensors leak the silicone potting material used to protect the circuitry.
  • Possible Solutions Possible solutions include:
    • In the vast majority of cases, simply cleaning the MAF sensor does the trick. Consult your service manual for it's location if you need help. I find it's best to take it off and spray it with electronics cleaner or brake cleaner. Make sure you are careful not to damage the MAF sensor, and make sure it's dry before reinstalling
    • Inspect all vacuum and PCV hoses, replace if necessary
    • Check for a dirty fuel filter[img src="http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif" border="0" alt=""> and proper fuel pressure

Remove door handle, you will find some screw under there, some on the bottom of the door trim. Mostly it's hanging on clip-ons.
