Hey guys,
I got a few problems with my 2004 Volvo S60 2.5 AWD.
First problem is when in the morning I start to drive my car my steering wheel vibrates for like 10 mins and pick up gets very slugglish. Any ideas why this might happen? Another problem that I am having is my brakes very weak, I have to push down in order to stop and that point the car shakes a little and the RPM guage jumps from 700rpm to 1100rpm instantly than the car stops. Also, for the past few months this car has been very sluggish when accerlating and from a standstill, it feels very heavy and weak. I have to push the car very hard to get proper acceleration and power. Took the car to the dealer several times all they do is regular service with synthetic and tell me that might be the problem. Again, and again I went for this problem and dealer has been tellin me that my car is alright, because nothing is coming up in their codes. So you guys got suggestions? The car has the extended Volvo warranty which covers me for 160,000km. I also had a whole lotta problems with warranty too,I was under the impression it was bumper to bumper. The car has 82,000km now.Thanks in advance !

 

Last tune up?
Check engine light on?
ABS light on?

 

last 82,000km service done 2 weeks ago with synthetic oil and no warning lights.

 

Did they change the spark plugs or coils?

 

yes, I have all the service records. I have taken my car to volvo and they changed them at 72,000km.

 

Ok you might still want someone try to pull codes. The light doesn't always have to be on for the codes to be there.

 

What are common problems with this car?
Could it be my turbo or MAF?

 

I would say Mass flow before turbo.
Espically if it has been serviced like it should be.

 

I have made a appointment with Volvo of Mississaugatomorrow, my last three visits all they did was regular service and now I might request them to checkthe Mass flow, could therebe other problems with this problem?

 

I would tell them it lacks power and drive it with them and show them what it does.
