Thanks for the quick replies!
And was toying with the idea of getting some Jag wheels
Is carb cleaner any good for MAFs on these... I'm very wary of touching MAFs after I broke one on my 7-series trying to clean it with isopropyl and Q-tips
Are they sensitive to genuine volvo ones or are aftermaket ones ok?
What is FPS? The engine seems very clattery as well. Not in a knackered engine way but a 'relatively' light tapping. Could it be the injectors? Camshaft? Don't know what type of engine this has inc. valve control?
I could hear a slight rushing of air at idle from the engine bay as well but could identify where it was coming from... Does the turbo pipe work sound like that at idle? Where's the PCV as I've read about that causing problems? I pulled the dipstick out: it didn't smoke at all and the o-rings looked good. It was a bit sludgey at the bottom so def could do with an oil change
I was thinking there's no point doing the fuel filters as it's bad on both LPG and petrol, but stupidly didn't occur to me that both might be clogged, lol!
Definitely try the mega low revs stuff, not how I normally drive
Haven't tried the volvo software but plugged in easyOBD today, no codes thrown but was surprised by how high the temp got (105C at one point before the fan kicked in) and the air intake was up at 50C. The gauge on the dash was reading normal though. That was idling at approx 2000rpm with external temp of 24C (ish). I'm not familiar with reading fuel trims and stuff but noticed that the O2 sensor was dancing all over the place, especially whilst on LPG (0.1V-0.6V) which is a little strange???
Probably be a couple of weeks before I get round to do a full on service but I'll definitely update routinely as I know how beneficial these forums are to everyone reading them as well as me
!
...so the saga continues
Thanks guys.
