RE: CEL code

I have to get my translation list from work for the codes. I only know the Volvo codes but once I see the list I should be able to help.

RE: CEL code

Is the car doing anything funny?

My list shows either a faulty coolant temp sensor or bad thermostat.

RE: CEL code

Now that you mention it, the car is running cold.

Not really cold but abit under the norm. Everything else seems perfectly fine.
If it was a bad thermostat wouldn`t it run hot as opposed to cold?

RE: CEL code

Not really it might be closed more than normal which is slowing it down a little cooling it to much.

It is hard to tell without taking it apart and looking at it.

It could still be the sensor though.

RE: CEL code

****Update****

Changed thermostat and reset ECU the other day.

Everything works great, running temp up to normal and no problems.
