Everything on the Volvo S80. Sometimes called an "executive car", the S80 was Volvo's top-of-the-line passenger car. P2 platform.

Service Required Dash Message after accelerating past 3000revs or in kickdown

Post by CatherineD5Auto »

Recent Volvo owner. Last 12 months. D5 Auto (2005)
When accelerating past 3000rpm or in kickdown a message immediately appears on Dash : “Service Required”. In addition power is limited to 2200rpm.

I have friends who are mechanically minded. They wonder whether it is a fault with the turbo boost sensor. Would you agree or could it be caused by other factors? Any help would be appreciated :D

Many things could cause this. Its not economical to guess.

Can you get the codes read out to see what guidance they give?

Note - we dont get either diesel Volvos nor decent football in the US, so you might have to wait a bit for EU/UK folks to respond
