Re: 2003 S60 Drops out of cruise and goes into limp mode

Not trying to hijack this thread, but I have an S60 AWD and I think I may have almost the same issue. I will be driving along steady state, with no issues. When I get to a hill and the car needs to accelerate (whether on cruise or not) I feel and hear something akin to a sharp clunk, almost transmis...

Re: Need a good Volvo shop in the Norwich/New London CT area

I found EuroCars in Groton CT. They could have raked me over the coals, but they didn't. They were honest, helpful and very customer oriented. They fixed the issue, did what they said they would and with no BS. IMHO, a very good shop to take your car to. I will be using this shop again (and again). ...

Re: 2004 S60 AWD Trans acting weird

OK, got the car back. The shop successfully replaced the main computer, loaded new software, fired her up and got some codes. One was a transmission code, they clear it prior to the test drive and the other was a MAF. They test drove it for over an hour the first time, with the old MAF (to see if it...

Re: 2004 S60 AWD Trans acting weird

At the shop now. They tried to do a "reflash" of the computer, but nothing happened. They found that the network in the car wasn't communicating. They said the trans was acting up because of that and the car went into limp mode. They are installing a new CMU (?). Once that is done they wil...

Need a good Volvo shop in the Norwich/New London CT area

Recently moved to the Norwich CT area. I am looking for a reputable shop in the vicinity that won't rip you off and is reasonable. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Re: 2004 S60 AWD Trans acting weird

Just checked again and the mileage is 160,000. Wife said she thought it made a clunk when she was driving down the highway. She looked down and the "electronic" gear indicator, in the gauge cluster where the clock and temp read out, didn't show anything but a dash. She did say she didn't n...

2004 S60 AWD Trans acting weird

Hi All, My wifes Volvo gave her some grief today. It has 170,000 miles on her. The Service Transmission message came on. Got home and took my Scan Guage II out and checked the codes (yeah, not a great reader, but it works sometimes). I got three codes: a 0000, a P2177 and a P0700. I checked them out...
