Re: 2004 S60 T5M Doubled Fuel Consumption [Bad ECT]

I would use a Volvo one but the nearest dealership is about 3 or 4 hours away. I would have to ship it. At least when it happens next time I will know what the issue is

Re: Doubled Fuel Consumption

The only time that I had ever smelled gas from startup was at work, the Saturday or Sunday that the issue started, when I went in my car on break and sat in the AC. The average managed to stabilize and it currently sits around 9.0 L/100KM after driving pretty far. I got an oil change too and put in ...

Re: Doubled Fuel Consumption

I'm going to get an oil change tomorrow hopefully. I'm going to check it periodically throughout the day and the following days. If the gas in the oil issue still persists, I'm going to try to check the spark plugs after I drive. Maybe there will be fuel then.

Re: Doubled Fuel Consumption

So guys, quick update: I replaced the coolant temperature sensor. I reset the average and it significantly dropped, down to around 14 L/100km. It is definitely lower since the amount that I was reading prior to replacing the sensor was I think 26 L/100km. But the issue still persists. The average wa...

Re: Doubled Fuel Consumption

There is no visible leaks from the injectors outside of the engine. My car does have the metal fuel rail with the two green clips that connect the fuel line to the rail. How can I pressurize the system and check for the leaking injector without the ability to leave the rail connected to the fuel lin...

Re: Doubled Fuel Consumption

I'm not positive, no, but the oil did smell like gas. I guess I could go and do an oil change and have a second opinion on if there actually is gas in the oil. I simply went off of smell and it did smell like old or shitty gas. There is possibility for a fuel leak, but having the car parked in the d...

Re: Doubled Fuel Consumption

And as for clogging the cat, I stopped driving the car as soon as the issue started, so hopefully I didn't cause it to get too clogged. If I did that means I just install the cat less down pipe earlier :)

Re: Doubled Fuel Consumption

If I pull the fuel rail can I tell what injectors are bad just by looking at them? I went to see if they were leaking the other day but the fuel line is metal (correct me if I'm wrong) and I couldn't prime the fuel pump to see leaks. This may be a stupid question... but would irregular oil changes c...
