Re: 2009 S60 afterblow system draining battery

The tool will allow some diagnostics and ability to turn off the after blow (not sure that is your problem). A local independent shop could also turn it off for less than the dealer (so long as they had the Vida tool). Keep in mind that if you buy one, you will then need to figure out how to use it ...

Re: 2009 S60 afterblow system draining battery

FYI - My 2006 XC70 had a similar issue. I thought it was afterblow, but afterblow seems to kick on about 10 or so minutes after the car is off and then runs for a while. For my car it continued to run right after I shut the car off. I thought it was the control panel, it turns out it was the resisto...

Re: 2002 S60 Stalls when placing into gear (auto)

OK, So I sprang for the Sacer and installed it myself. Not a terrible process, since my car is non turbo. A Dremel is a must. Its installed now, and with 10 minutes in the driveway... I am still no where near 100%. The crazy high idle hunting thing is not happening anymore, but the car is stalling 1...

Re: 2002 S60 Fuel Smell Vapor at rear of car

All my experience is with this car, not bikes. I would check tank venting, just not sure how that is accomplished on the bike, but it should have some ability to vent air into the tank (to replace the void left by consumed fuel). Hope that helps.

Re: 2002 S60 Stalls when placing into gear (auto)

OK, so used the CRC to clean the MAF and sprayed a little brake cleaner on the hoses to check for a vac leak (car continued to run, no impact). New code came up as p0507 (Idle Control System RPM Higher Than Expected).. keeping in mind I had just gotten P0068 (MAF/Throttle Position). I also went thro...

Re: ETM Repair kit for sale

Can you tell me more about the kit. I see two parts on the site, but it is not very descriptive. I assume you never installed it, correct?

Re: 2002 S60 Fuel Smell Vapor at rear of car

Epoxy did not work for me. I replaced the pump with the Bosch, and put everything back in place. No fuel vapor and car seems fine. That is until I got a P0570 core a few weeks later. Seems unrelated, so I opened a different string/subject for that one. Between Fuel Pump, tranny and the whole Throttl...

Re: 2002 S60 Stalls when placing into gear (auto)

Thanks Guys, She is non turbo. Well its so cold outside these few days 9 (15F before wind chill) I have no intent of wrenching on her until temps come up. I have not tried the idle with the engine under load (A/C, lights, etc), but will definitely do so. I cleaned the TB not long ago, so it seems an...

Re: 2002 S60 Stalls when placing into gear (auto)

Thanks Regent. I cleaned the throttle body several months ago. I just ordered some MAF and TB cleaner to give that a try again, thanks for the suggestion. At this point the car sits at idle pretty consistently (its been about 20 degrees F in CT for the past 2 weeks), so the issue is primarily when i...
