i have this problem on my V70 T5, but when im at say, 4k, the bugger misfires big time making the EML flash hence coil pack checks might be wise as in checking insulator boots and that they are...

hi there, if your mechancially minded you can test the fuel pump but have you checked the fuse and relay for the pumps circuit? If ok you can check that the pump is receiving a live.

seen as i am a copper ive heard allsorts about "police spec" especially volvo's so i chuck my two-peneth in!!

from volvo's SVP the S60/V70 comes with the normal engine range eg 2.3 T5/2.4 T5 and...

its based on mileage and age, as some forces lease their cars so they don't have to worry about getting rid of em!!

we have 3 s-max's for ARV'S and they get binned at 140,000 or 5 years and...

As i posted not so long ago had the head off my 01 V70 T5 ex plod and it has run ok, not as quick as it was but main good point no cold start misfire!!! but of late had the MIL on couple of times...

christ! that is quick, my ex plodder wouldn't do that even when it was running correctly, i'd be well chuffed if mine took off like that:crazy:!!!!

i know ex police arn't modified( usually!) but...

hi mate any joy with it yet? a blocked PCV would cause the rear crank seal to leak oil IIRC and its a box out job to fix, pull the dipstick out and see if its puffing smoke up through it, normally a...

mine did that before i did my head refurb, maybe not the same on yours but those symptoms were on every start hot or cold i remember?

cheers mate, i'm just kicking myself that i didn't go "back to basics" alot sooner and not chased phantom codes which led me nowhere!! :) :buttkick:

WOW, just a brake overhaul did that, cool! mine will hover23-25mpg now but haven't checked it coz of cylinder head been off last week so i should see a little improvement with freshly ground in...

cheers buddy, will check that out ASAP as its abit floaty at the mo and i doubt the bushes already fitted will have been changed recently :)

can anyone tell me how 'solid' the solid bushes are on an ex cop car and are they as easy to spot as normal ones for wear? only ask as mine apparently has them and i may change them for other uprated...

as far as i've seen from RICA the 2.3 gets abit more from a remap (around 10 bhp but dont quote me) so it all depends really how far you would want to take the power up

hope this helps :)

hi all,

checked my fuel rail pressure today after car had stood for 3-3.5 hours and no pressure what so ever. i thought the rail would hold pressure for days if not longer?

hi mate, from experience its not a dangerous job as some people will lead you to believe but i'm no expert with volvos SRS system and some cars have a set time that you should let elapse before...

hi all,

just wondering if i got hold of a steering from a V70 that has cruise control, would my car still have the system fitted being an SE, that the electrics and the auxillaries would work if...
