Goodbye to Volvo ownership... should anyone else have the same fault code or juddering and struggling under acceleration, it is likely to be the fuel rail sensor. Volvo USA changed all such sensors...

I know. I just wanted to be like my mates in white hats...

Caffyns (dealer) fixed a new turbo valve (£280ish).
Then the key stuck in ignition with engine running. Told me to bring it over in the morning (Saturday). Called to confirm- no, sorry can't do...

Cheers Dave. Hoping some S40 owners may pick up the thread too. The light has gone off now...
Optimistically hoping the wonder additive from Halfords has sorted it (I know, unlikely)
Been ripped...

Morning. My V50 T5 has been juddering and struggling. I put in some injector cleaner hoping it was not going to be my second turbo valve in less than 2 years as similar problem then. Now I have an...

Ouch! Sorry Al.
Placed it on the wider forum because there had been several views but no responses on the 40/50 forum.

Sorted.
Taken dash housing off (fun in the rain) and 'jiggled'.
Just not sure where or what I need to tighten, but at least I can lock it!

Timbo, yes and yes.
Bugger!

Hi all- got a problem with my ignition- several views on the 40/50 series forum, but no replies... so in my need for answers, I open it to all.

I have a V50 T5 geatronic, 2004.
The key is stuck...

Morning all. Does anyone know how to cure my stuck ignition key?
Just been to shops, went ot turn off the ignition and the key won't turn to '0'.
Checked the gear is in park etc and driven around,...

'Quitting' is the correct offence. However, if the engine cuts when handbrake/pedals released it should be ok.
Would be an interesting test case...

torch, rather spookily just had a similar problem with my V50 (petrol though).
Although I had no oil loss, the turbo was in and out, getting progressively worse.
Finally sorted with a turbo control...

Thats it Big City boy, poke fun at the bumkins! Some nice runs outr here when you know where to look...

The oh so quiet Bexhill area...

No worries...Ford immobilisers seem quite happy to un-sync, but only take a couple of minutes to re-do yourself. here's hoping.

Might see you on the 27 or 23 one day...

Not aware of any Volvo problems... but all my immobilser issues with the family cars have been to do with
1. Little children clicking the fob out of range and the immobiliser needing to be sync'd...

May well be- however, my mate has his own garage and crew- he was the guy that looked at at it and that was the price quoted to him.
He tried his usual makers of OE spec manufacturers- none of them...

P.S. I see what you mean about the improved sound

I had thought about going for a performance kit- I see jetex do a cat-.back system for under £500. Only reservation being I thought I had left my MaxPower days behind me. The Volvo was my way of...

Afternoon all.
I recently posted a thread on the technical forums about by flagging boost pressure- I tried all hoses etc, not a hint at what the cause was.

Having given my prized possession to a...

Thanks for the advice Claymore.
I have just checked the pipework and found the pipe from air inlet to filter had not been connected properly. Sorted it and got all excited- short lived...

Ah, so not too expensive. Is it ok to still run?

Afternoon all. Hopefully someone can help...
I have 2004 V50 T5 and the turbo is not kicking in at all.
There are no warning lights etc coming on and occasionally it begins to kick in, but then...
