Hello,
I am a new member, having just bought a 1998S S40 2.0CD. It is great apart from a few niggles. I wonder if you could all bring your combined wisdom to bear on my problems!
The first is a loud clicking noise coming from behind the dash on startup. It goes on for about 10 seconds, then stops. I've looked at all the relays and they seem alright. Very odd...
The second is that the lambda light comes on most of the time, once the engine is up to temperature. It doesn't always come on either if it's a coolish day. I have noticed under the bonnet that one of the thin plastic pipes going into the air box has cracked, and has been patched with masking tape, but is still a bit gappy.
In addition, the car runs a bit roughly and jerkily at times, I wondered if this was all interlinked. I think there is also a leak in the exhaust manifold somewhere because this gets a bit throaty under high load/harsh accleration.
Apart from that the car's great. Any advice would be lovely, apart from telling me I've bought a dog....
Cheers!! :troutslap
