Still running great, no cel. I love this car.

Update, long overdue update. Exhaust cam was advanced 2 teeth. It now runs terrific. I have for sale the origional cvvt and coolant temp sensor. I had replaced them in error. If anyone could use them, I would be happy to ship them out.

cel is 0014 timing over advance. will pull wheel and check timing marks as soon as Im able and will look for yellow sticker on etm, assuming I can locate the etm. thanks for your input guys. I will post my findings.

cel and surging idle are back. 14.7 miles to the gallon. bummer.

update. I was away for the holidays, but am home now and have replaced the coolant temp sensor and the cvvt. I have only driven a few miles but symptoms appear to be gone and CEL is off. too soon to call it but so far so good. will post any changes. thanks to all.

I dont know if it has been replaced. I assume Volvo can tell me with my v.i.n. I have just started poking around Don's etm room. I have a feeling I am beyond the 10 yr limit for the recall.

I had ordered cvvt and coolant temp sensor before I read the post from Larry H. My Plans a...

thanks larryh. would the timing being off account for the occasional surging idle and occasional hard start? because it is an occasional condition I was thinking a failing sensor. I am getting only code p0014 timing over advance error. but the symptoms seem like a coolant temp sensor issue.

roger that. thanx again

I have a tom-tom. love it, I am a person who gets lost often. with the gps I am never lost.
