Five new coils are on order. The loaned ones have fixed the misfire problem a treat - smooth power all the way to the red. The car has a lot of it's old character back and feels light on it's feet!...

Is it possible to have codes related to these symptoms registered in the ECU without getting a "check engine" light?

Until today the plugs were NGK as recomended, my local Volvo garage replaced...

Yup, even the fuel filter. Swapped out my 10K old NGK plugs today for OEM ones, not much improvement. The old plugs were evenly coloured which was also a bit confusing.

My local Volvo specialist...

My 1999 V70 T-5 has developed a slight miss-fire but only at mid range revs. I suspect that it may have a duff coil but am having diagnosing which one.

Replacements are EUR125 +VAT each so I don't...

Twice in the last month or so I have had the check engine light come on. Both times after extended periods of slow driving (30 mph stuck in traffic).

The ECU returns DTC code P1332.

I think...

It has an OBD II diagnostic socket in the storage box between the front seats but I thought this was a computer interface only.

Sounds like you didn't use a computer to read the codes?

If your car is OBD II compliant, yes please!!

Hi Niles,

Slightly off topic and I apologise for that but I am interested to know which dianostic software you are using. I have OBDMaster & ScanTool but neither are throwing up any codes despite...

For a few months I've noticed that my torque converter clutch (lock-up) slips and that overdrive (4th on a 4 speed box) also seems to slip once in a while.

I've checked the gear box fluid level,...

Did you figure it out in the end John?

The only other mods are a strut brace (volvo), 18" BBS Triton 2 piece rims, ITG panel filter & relocated horns/ mesh grill. The car has been well maintained and is in good original condition with a...

@ Engineer

Any advice for changing the O/S motor?

I have a replacement (thanks Wobbly) but heard the PAS pump has to be removed to fit it so the jobs on hold...

My car is a 1999 4 speed auto P1 with ME7 and 87K miles on the clock.

The extra performance is refined and controlable, it is possible to wheelspin it - fairly easily on kickdown at 30...

... is the way I'd describe it :B_blite: .

Drove home from VT to Hampshire on the Wednesday then up to Essex and back yesterday with the new set-up so have covered a few miles before reporting...

I've finally given in to the inevitable, a RICA 310 & Miltek cat-back package :sinner:

Fingers crossed that all goes well. I've done as much preparation as I can easily do, including engine oil &...

Hi Gang,

Does anyone know if the Volvo Triton (made by BBS) 18" X 7.5J was actually offered as a factory option for the P1 V70? I understand that they were originally offered in both 17" & 18" as...

Had the same thing happen to my old VR6, 16 year old nipper let loose with a nut gun. The garage kept the car three days to adjust the tracking as a result and damaged a wheel drilling out the...

Honoured their warranty when my ETS unit (throttle body ME7) failed. Can't have been cheap for them but then again this is what you are paying for.

If they offer any service work included in the...
