ECM-0038 Flow too high

Post by rasemailcz »

Hi,

I'm having some problems with my V70 2.5TDi 2000 D5252T.

At first, I tried the Volvo service. Everything with "EGR" in name was replaced.

Then, I bought the DiCE and found out that the problem is ECM-0038 Flow too high. I searched the forums and I suspect the turbo control valve. However, the car is in the service now again and the guys claim that the turbo is OK.

EDIT: The MAF was replaced too.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Did anyone experience the same thing?

Thanks...

Dobre den!

We don't have the diesel cars here in North America, but our EU friends do, so lets wait to here from them

Turbos on these cars are very strong and don't go wrong often.
