Hello, all.
I've got 2006 V70 station-wagon,
I'm getting warning lights, on dash. Red triangle and Battery icons come on at the same time. with service message POWER SYSTEM SERVICE URGENT.
The lights go on and off, while driving.
Car has 112k miles. Bought it used, recently.
Engine ref B5254T2, and chasis 589090
Anyone help describe what service or DIY repair to carry out ?

By the way, 2 months ago, installed a new car-battery as battery light came on.
I'm in process of DIY replacing the PCV Breather kit system ( Had a massive oil leak) Timing Belt Kit ( just due to the mileage) O2 sensor, Crankshaft sensor and serpentine drive belt. Right now, there is a P0036 and P0017 obd codes, Check engine light is on.
Just did oil ( full synthetic) change.
I'm using video on internet to help carry out repairs.
Also, tried to replace spark plugs but the Coil separated in middle while pulling out. So quickly attached it back on the spark plug and hope to read up/video, on how to fix that prob.
Like the car but not happy with all the sudden, costly, repairs after just buying the car.

Thx

 

Well you bought a used car, and around 110k ish is a good time for all the expensive repairs that need to be done. Suspension starts to become worn, Battery time, also your alternator is probably an issue, check voltage to the battery with the car running, ideally you want around ~14v i believe. and yup, about time for the PCV and timing belt, both expensive if you can't do them yourself.

While doing your PCV, dont forget to replace the banjo bolt and washers, as well as the nipple it goes through.

Long story short, you can't buy a used car and expect it to be perfect. You never know what the previous owners did for maintenance or anything. And take the sellers words lightly. European cars are not the cheapest to maintain and some parts can be pricey

 

Thanks for posting comments.
Add to list, replace with new set of OE fuel injectors or a good re-build kit. Also, clean out the Throttle body and fit a new gasket.
I'm looking forward to more responses from members so I don't overlook any other detail, maybe how to videos and add other repair to watch out for.

 

Is there a reason for new injectors? they aren't cheap, I can recommend Liquimolys fuel system cleaner, works pretty good it seems. They also make an engine flush which works amazingly, I use it on all used cars I buy to remove buildup from neglect.

I would get the car scanned with VIDA to see if there are any other non-CEL tripping codes stored.
