Engine code issue
I just bought a canOBD2 code reader to check out the engine light that's been shining oh so happily in the dash of my '99 S70 for about a week now, and I've received two different codes, P0455 "EVAP System Large Leak Detected" and P1081 which gives me no definition other than "Immobilizer Communication". Is this a problem that I can easily repair myself (the most I've ever done to my Volvo is change the plugs) or will i have to bring this to my mechanic? And if anybody knows more about the P1081 code, that would be helpful.
Thanks in advance for your help

RE: Engine code issue
I just recently had a check engine light come up on me for the first time. I have not been able to check what the malfunction codes have been because I have been quite busy commuting to and from school. I dont think it is anything with the engine because the car runs well as it did before the light came on. The only things I have done to it recently for the first time is give it a full exterior wash, and use the cruise control (which worked well). I also refueled and noticed that the rubber piece that sticks out in front of the fuel entrance is very worn and actually broken in some places. I am planning to see my mechanic on Tuesday, but could I also have the same problem as weekendbiggs?

RE: Engine code issue
Will do. I will try that and see if that works. Either way, I will see my mechanic about my trunk release issue on tuesday.
On a side note, when I bought the car, it did not come with the owner's manual. My car has aroud 96500 miles right now. Is there a special service that should be done soon, such as at 100000 miles?

RE: Engine code issue
I actually had my mechanic do a used car check on the engine and such and he mentioned that the belt did not look too old, so I believe that it was changed around 70000 miles, as it should have been. I recall reading something online about the fuel lines needing replacement soon though.

RE: Engine code issue
I drove down to my mechanic to see if he could take a look at the issue today, and to my luck, he was closed. I wont be able to see him again until next Tuesday, so I decided to take pictures of some parts that have been concerning me a little, and that might explain the check engine light. In this picture, the hose I circled in white has some wear on it. Could that cause me a problem?

RE: Engine code issue
Finally, here is a picture of my fuel injection area that show noticable wear on the rubber-like seal surrounding the entrance. Only the part that portrudes out is worn though, the rest looks fine.
