V40 crosscountry D2 engine gearbox funnies

[tjn]

Hi all,

I can't believe it was April 21 las time I was on here, don't know where the time goes. Hope everyone is OK.

Coupla weird things with my V40 XC D2 :

1. few days ago drove about 15 miles home & after I stopped it kept running the fan at full belt (could be heard in the house) for ages. The journey was 30 mph through a couple of villages, 40 - 50 elsewhere, so not fast and not slow. A bitterly cold morning too. So nothing obvs to cause engine to overheat.

2. today I stopped at a t-junction about 2 miles from leaving home. When I could go I pressed on gas revs went up - and up - and car didn't move. Out of gear & back in again, still same. Some message appeared re. transmission reduced blah blah didn't have time to read it all. The bloke behind pushed me into a layby opposite. Then he pushed the car in there too (joke laugh now!). But transmission wasn't "reduced" it wasn't happening at all.

Dunno if the 2 are related, obvs fan not as much of a worry as getting stranded in the middle of a junction when gearbox stops working.

I'd be grateful for any advice please.

TIA, Terry.

I got the codes read - no gearbox stuff but a code re air intake temp sensor - I suppose could account for the fan thing, & poss if the engine got hot the trans would get hot too, dunno.
Then got a dongle and ios app later & read codes myself. Nothing - so maybe the codes got cleared when the garage read them.
My dongle showed air intake temp at 12 C at first, which was = the temp on the thermometer on my patio, then drove round a bit then back in to drive and intake temp was a couple of degrees higher as I sat there with engine on - as you'd expect
Couple of scary "archived" "inactive" gearbox codes, dunno what that means.
So I guess it's wait for it to happen again - not ideal but ....
(Also got a 2004 Jag XJ8 which can produce some really frightening error messages which are fixed by switching ignition off and switching it on again so who knows?)
Cheers, Terry.

It could be the coolant temperature sensor , you need to monitor it when the fault happens . you lost drive from the auto gearbox ...? and a transmission message was up?
this would have have a stored code .
