D5 2002 Intermittent "Engine Service Required"+ black smoke
Hi
I have volvo s60/d5 160k which had egr valve cleaned last year (10k ago) and catalytic converter changed last month. Recently i noticed that when driving on motorway and accelerating i can see a black smoke in the mirror and also intermittent "engine service required" message which resets itself after several minutes. I don't get this error when driving in the city - only on motorway. The car does not seem to lack power. I would like to add that the oil got changed 3k ago and the level stays at maximum all the time. Do I need to clean EGR valve again (i did only 10k since the last time)? Or could changing the catalytic converter caused some problems? Thanks for any advice. |
Look for leaks around your intercooler and look to see if any straight edges are bowing out.

Get your codes read and it will help narrow down the causes. My guess would be leaky intercooler or engine vacuum mounts.

Drain a litre of engine oil as the level is too high. It should be about a third of an inch from the top level mark.My dip stick has X segment graduation marks and it should be up to the third mark from the top.

Hi just wondering if there was an error would it not stay on the dashboard? Please advise

It says Engine Service Required and you then need to have the code read to find out more. Even if the message disappears, a code will have been stored. |
