P1132 code

According to my OBD II reader the P1132 code is a bad O2 sensor. I purchased a o2 sensor, installed it and ran for several months with no check engine. Several months ago I got a check engine, called the supplier of the o2 sensor and he said the sensor was not bad, I have a vacuum leak on the passen...

Re: Transmission shops

Thanks for the help guys. I have done 3 drain and fills with Mobil 3309 in the last 12000 miles. Should I have another drain and fill after replacing the B4? I will change out the B4 Servo and get the transmission reprogramed. I need to have the stop-netural removed too.

Transmission shops

Does anybody know of a good transmission shop north east of Dallas. Plano, McKinney, and Rockwall would be good choices and close to me. 2001 V-70 T-5 has some rough shifting and a 2-3 shift flair at times. Is this due to the valve body wear?

Re: Transmission code P1618

I had a P1618 code on my V70 in May. My CarMD code reader said to reprogram the TCM. Took it to a European Shop and they reprorgamed the TCM and I have not had a code since. It cost around $100.

Re: Transmission Control Module (TCM)

My CarMD OBD II reader gave me the P1618 code. It said to fix it the TCM had to be reprogramed. That is what I did and the cars runs fine now without a check engine light. Transmission shifts fine. Service tech said if it happened again I would have to replace the TCM and I was trying to find out ho...

Transmission Control Module (TCM)

I just had my TCM flashed and re coded. Every thing is good. What is involved in changing the Module if it sets a check engine light again with the 1618 code? What is the cost of the Module and how much labor is involved?

Re: GForce $69 Performance Chip - Real or Fake?

Just finished my Gforce trial and sent it back yesterday for a refund. There was no increase in mileage or power as advertised.

Re: Transmission fluid change

Eurika I found it!!! Thanks guys. Now how do you check the fluid while the engine is running and hot. This looks like some serious burns unless you have a full fire suit.

Transmission fluid change

2001 V-70 T5 I cannot find the transmission fill. I can find a brass thing that is attached to the tranmission by a rubber hose and two clamps, is this the fill point? Some have talked about a dipstick to measure fluid level but this does not look like a dipstick. It looks like a vent for the transm...
