Other than that I find there are plenty of persons of indigenous poulations that will do favours for small change round here.

Congrats on the piece of A4 paper, great result!

I'm back home now, it's been great driving after such a long time. I have done over 60 miles and averaged 32mpg driving like a saint though.
I had reset the codes using the Torque app and the eml has stayed off, also using the torque app I checked what it would boost to and does 12psi in 3rd sound about right? Overall I'm actually buzzing to be back in a volvo

Cheers guys

Great news, pleased for you mate.

Been out in the Volvo today and it was running extra lumpy when I first started it so I read the codes and it looks like I have maf issues aswell as lambda sensor. Will have to wait till I get home to check what the bottom one is. Only a few more weeks to go then I can get back to work and get it sorted.

P0027 is exhaust VVT valve mate

The maf fault could be a loose air pipe either side of the turbo - check the jubilee clips.
2231 looks like knackered lambda wiring.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Google-And...item35c580f193 Bluetooth obd dongle.

Since I don't have much money to spend on the Volvo at the minute I'm just sorting little bits and bobs that are free/don't cost much.
I removed the sound deadening from under the bonnet and looked all over for an cone filter, thought I had one lying about somewhere.
Tonight's mission is have a go at fixing both of my flick keys as they don't flick anymore, found his video on youpube

Mine doesnt flick anymore and its a pain to sort, ill trade you my cone for your standard? lol i dont like mine!

**danny-R** · Sunday 14th April 2013, 18:08

Just noticed this reply. I think I'll have to keep the standard box incase it ever goes back to standard and tbh I'm not sure if they're the same on the facelift ones. I had a go at fitting a cone today inside the bottom half of the box and it wouldn't fit so will have another go when I get A bit of 3inch ish pipe to make it fit lol.
Been up to see leet5r today and he noticed a pipe was off after the maf sensor which explains the maf fault code. Reset the codes and the Eml stayed off for ages but came back on after I restarted the car so my 02 sensor is definitely goosed. That can wait till I do the exhaust as it looks a right pita to get to
