Re: Double Din For 2000 S40

Unfortunately, I did not. I did take the radio out, but I ultimately just put everything back together.

Re: 2008 S80 - No A/C when Idling

We took it to the shop and they think it might be the fan control module? Does that sound about right?

Re: 2008 S80 - No A/C when Idling

Alright, I just hooked it up and took a quick trip. It looks like the fan did kick on, but just as a quick spurt. I am attaching the graph from when it was idling. When I activated it earlier, I was using the 66% activation.
Here is the graph

2008 S80 - No A/C when Idling

My mom's 2008 S80 has started blowing out hot air when idling. The A/C works perfectly as long as we are moving, and is as cold as it has ever been. It is only when we are stopped for a minute that it begins to get hot. I have VIDA and a DiCE tool, but do not know much about it. I graphed the ECM-A/...

Re: Best Oil For 2000 S40

Thanks for both of the replies. I was just trying to get an idea of what everyone else did.

Best Oil For 2000 S40

My car has 127,000 miles on it and I have always used Castrol 10W/30, but I have heard that synthetic is better for turbo engines. Is this true? If so, which brand do you recommend? Also, should I stay with 10W/30 or swap to 5W/40? Finally, I usually go right around 5,000 miles between changes. Is t...

Re: P0014 & P0015

If it helps any, I received my VIDA/DiCE package yesterday and the corresponding Volvo codes are ECM-60 and ECM-61. Are there any tests that I can run using VIDA? I also read about flushing the oil, a seal, or possibly the fuel pressure regulator? Would you recommend any of those? It has about 127,0...

Double Din For 2000 S40

I posted something similar in the S40 forum before I noticed this one, but I am not sure how to move it or delete the other post. I was thinking about buying a USA SPEC adapter for my SC-816, but after seeing how much it costs I have decided that I will probably just upgrade the entire receiver. I r...

New Radio For 2000 Volvo S40

I was thinking about buying an iPod adapter to plug into the CD Changer port of my factory SC-816, but when I saw the prices I am beginning to think that I might just get a new radio. The problem I am running into is that every website I go to does not list any compatible Double-Din radios. On each ...

Re: P0014 & P0015

AFAIK the engine is clean. I have not done that much under the hood, only on the interior. I will have him look at the hub. I did recently have a problem with the car leaking oil and if I remember correctly it was near the CVVT. I know the mechanic had to borrow a special tool to fix the timing. The...
