Re: 2005 V70 occasional almost stall while driving

If you are going to change the fuel rail pressure sensor, change the fuel filter first. It's cheaper and easier and is the most likely culprit for causing the failure of that sensor. At the very least, it is due in all likelihood.

Re: 2.5T (S60) Observation regarding engine vibration

Update: Body shop/Insurance co sat on the car for 3 weeks than calls today saying that because the e-brake is non functional and the splash shield is crumpled (I acknowledge the e-brake was non functional when I bought the car in November, they seem to think the splash shield is not accident relate...

Re: 2.5T (S60) Observation regarding engine vibration

I have similar issues with my '07 2.5T V70. Have not gotten around to troubleshooting fuel system. Any chance injectors are to blame? Perhaps a partial blockage got freed up for those 15 miles of bliss, then clogged up again? Give this man a cigar! Seriously, you had the answer in your first post, ...

I've been walking like I've got a corn cob crammed up my butt for weeks.

Re: New to Volvo - - Massive Oil Loss

Well we are in Wilmer right now but are looking to relocate to 12 acres in Chunchula right off Hwy 45, maybe raise some bees and do a little light hobby farming.

Re: Advice re 2004 V70R 190k Manual

Allow me to put it into perspective.

We paid $8700 for a 2006 V70R and have proceeded to drop another 4k into it... in three months.

Re: 2006 S60R Engine Codes

I spent many years diagnosing cars over the phone, and although I didn't work for a Volvo specialist, I can provide you with a little advice that will help you get better answers from the group as a whole: What were you doing when the problem started? Was it a gradual condition or was it all at once...

Re: Cabin Climate Help

This is going to sound incredibly stupid, but I've seen it happen with my own two eyes. Find the cabin air filter. Remove it completely. Is it filthy? Do you have a large buildup of debris where the filter goes? I had a friend with a TDI Jetta, about a 2005 model I think, that had this exact problem...

Re: New to Volvo - - Massive Oil Loss

I'm in the process of doing a major overhaul of my "new" (to me) V70R after it went from 110k miles to 130k miles with no service records available anywhere. I don't know if the original owner traded the car in at 110k miles and someone else bought it and didn't want to fool with fixing th...

Re: New to this forum, and a question or two...

I think in your case, blame radio HU-850. With this radio is quite common problems. The best solution is to connect the other 8xx series car for inspection. Sorry for my English. Your English is better than my Swahili, Punjabi, Latin, Sanskrit, etc. Aww hell, your English is better than my English....
