RE: engine system service urgent
I was on my way to have my O2 sensors fitted and my car stalled and came to a stop, with the same message. The guys came out, pulled and reinserted a few fusses and I was able to drive the car to the workshop. Their clever pc then diagnosed that my Mass Air Flow Meter was stuffed and parts have come back with a cost of just under a grand to have it replaced. At this rate I think I might just scrap the car and sell all the serviceable bits…..if anyone is stupid enough to hold onto a S80 T6.
Sorry, I am really annoyed and terribly disappointed in what I thought was a great product, produced by a very reliable name. Maybe in a few days, once I have forgotten about how much this car has cost me in the two weeks I have owned it, I might have something nice to say about the S80 T6 [:@]

RE: engine system service urgent
On pulling the Mass Airflow Sensor it turned out that a little diode which sits exposed and only held in place by a small bracket and its wires was sucked into the engine. I was hoping that Tech would be able to give me details of the diode that I might be able to replace that, rather than the whole thing.
PLS HELP TECH !!!

RE: engine system service urgent
The Volvo mechanic, who is fast becoming an old acquaintance and close friend of mine, made a plan. He tried a used S60 Mass Airflow Sensor which works fine. It cost me half the price and a case of beer. Now I know that I am probably becoming a bit bothersome Tech, but your input on whether I am being penny wise pound foolish would be greatly appreciated.
Oh and thanks for the input JCVolvo.........it’s a 2001 S80 T6 with about 85000 miles on the clock, a full service history in “mint condition”..hehe. Not sure what you mean by commute with it, but if you mean to work and back, that was the intention.
