. Started and idled this morning and after 5-6 mins the dreaded message now came up as "no oil pressure". Did a fair bit of searching this morning and didn't find an answer with regard to flushing and a 15 min idle with the 'no oil pressure' message coming up after 5. I did see that these motors sense a very small drop in pressure and I hope this solves the problem. Wife is not super impressed by me wrenching on a vehicle we bought yesterday, really nor am I.
Do I flush, clean &\or replace sender, then drop pan and start orings (stupid question mark won't work, now I have a broken laptop too, DOH!) Don't want to starve bearings or turbo, tried that on a few toys in the past and always ended up with a higher horsepower toy, and lighter wallet, after the whoops.
Looks like a good forum and group of people, glad to be part of it and the Volvo family. I should be able to contribute to the answering side when I get through this and get a bit dirty working on it. I try and do everything possible on my own stuff as I tend to not trust "techs" that could be my children and have to plug in to diagnose a dead hole or flat tire. Not to say all techs are like this but I feel if I work on it as much as possible I save a bit of $$ and have a better feeling of when things aren't right.
Hoping for a bit of reassurance that I headed in the right direction. Off to local shop to buy flush and oil.
Thanks a ton, rather thanks a 2.25 ton (its AWD). Now that's bad humour!
