We got this car - or were more or less forced to take this car - really cheap. I hade to change the heater core.... Hope you never have to!!!! It was a pain and in the end, I hade to take out the steering column to be able to push in the pipes to the core. Nasty work - that cannot be done with one p...

VTL's evidence and experience points to exhaust leak, but he also warns of warping of exhaust manifold due to age/mileage. Thanks for the reply! Warping - meaning that the exhaust manifold could be bent or damaged, cracked perhaps? Its so hard to see and I would need to have it on the lift to be ab...

Hi xHeart! Did you ever find the problem? I have 2001 turbo, with intremittent ECM-4801. It seems the fault has been there for years (we got the car only couple of months ago), finding old readings in the car. I did plug in the smoke machine I have done and found a small air leak somewhere around tu...

Hi Erik Thank you - I did find the wiring diagram for 1998 - and tried that. The number 50: GR-R on the diagram is actually Y-W on mine too (as on Rgiere's in one of the links you provided - thank you) Nothing. Absolutely nothing happened when I turned ignition on. So after reading your link - perha...

Hi
I messed up and lost the correct order of wiring behind the ignition switch.
Could someone with a V70 from 1997 take a picture of what order they are connected?
My colours look like this (the order isnt correct).

There is no vacuum =( I have already changed the gasket - du to the owner finding small oil leak and bubles filling spit in the ...

Hi 2.4 D5 from 2010 with 375300 km Limb home mode. Fault codes: ECM-P000BD00 and ECM-P029900 I have done a smoke leak detection test - and could not see any smoke coming out anywhere! Vida says that if those both fault codes are present at the same time - it must be a air leak, between turbo and thr...

No sorry - know I remember - I went to the scrap yard and got on other cylinder and key.
There was no repair kits for Volvo - or I needed to get it ready before I could get the repair kit here.

This is how other repair kits look like though:

Gosh - meny cars pass by here, so I dont rememeber from where I got the repair kit - But I did find it. This it was from China. But you can find them on eBay as well. Search for lock cylinder repair kits. That exact same thing happens to other cars as well. So I have several different at home.... le...
