Right first of all i had a diagnostics that said the problem was the EGR Valve, so i took it to the garage to get fixed. They came back and said there was nothing wrong with the EGR Valbve but reckon its the intercooler hose or something like that. Could it be that or should i bite the bullet and take it to Volvo. Cant really afford to be messed about any more especially as i am travelling 70 miles a day.
Black smoke happens when i am mainly going up hill and when i put my foot down, I have also noticed a little bit of power loss, not much but a little. When i have it in cruise control at 70MPH you can feel the car struggling. Imagine getting to 70 then let go of the accerlerating pedal then pressing it again, thats the feel it has. The car is a 53 plate. Its just been serviced and MOT'd and now and then when i go past 70MPH up a hill the engine service required writing comes on.
Thanks
