It was an aftermarket one from German and Swedish,I mentioned that there were problems with non-oem ones but the guy assured me he had sold loads with no returns.

I will check the FPR,so if no fuel sprays everywhere its bad,right?

Ive had a problem with the check engine light on and very poor gas mileage,14mpg.I had the codes read and it flagged up front lambda,which i changed.Then it said rear lambda which i changed.I checked for vacuum leaks and there was a massive hole in the elbow just behind the thermostat housing which ...

No problems with heating up,it has plenty of power and theres no hesitation.I wonder if it is the mass airflow sensor,if it was playing up could it fool the car into thinking there was a problem with lambda sensors?

Thank you for the advice but Im not throwing parts at it at all.The code reader said front lambda 1st,which i replaced,then rear lambda,which i replaced.I checked for vacuum leaks as the good people here suggested,i found one and repaired it.Then my mechanic said it could be the temp sender so i cha...

Ive been trying to get rid of this pesky light on my dash as my mileage is about 18mpg average.So far ive replaced both lambda sensors,had a local mechanic reset it but the light still came back on.Then i checked and found a vacuum hose with a big hole in it,I fixed this,reset the light and it still...

Is it correct that i have to have it programmed at Volvo?
Many thanks Peter

Sounds like a good plan to me,gotta be better than taking the rack out.I`ll let you know how I get on.

All lights out now :mrgreen: That was wierd yesterday,i just connected the 2 plugs without bolting the module back in place and only the abs light was on.When I bolted it back in place I was a bit cheesed off because both lights were back on but as you correctly said after taking it for a short driv...

The lambda light came on only the other day,that was the only fault flagged.Im hoping it was just a drop of duff fuel set the lambda light on but if not i`ll have to put a new sensor in.Im right in the middle of putting the abs module back on after re-soldering it.I`ll take it for a spin to go throu...

Re-set the lambda light today,no other fault codes flagged up.Also turned off the annoying service light.I will post again after the module is re-soldered tomorrow.
Did find a leak on the steering pinion seal but ive posted seperately about that if anyone has an answer.
