Hello, I havent been on this forum in a while, whichc is good cause my car has been goingwell. I have a 2003 V70 D5.
I had the same problem and my volvo garage went through all the motions during the Christmas Holidays 2008. The up shot to the problem, was alledgedly the Catalytic Convertor. When I accelerated over 2000 - 2500 rpm, the engine would drop into limp mode, occasionally I would have had alot of white smoke. It started off it happened now and again but got to the stage where the car was dangerous to drive as it was happeneing evvery time i pulled out at road ends or overtook etc. The garage swapped out various components, to do with the trubo and air flow meters but the cat fixed it. I have not had the problem now in over 12 months. The cost to repair was in excess of a grand which I was not happy with but least if fixed the problem. Hope this helps for you. |

If it is the turbo, how can it be so infrequent (if that is not such a difficult question)?
I get this every 500-600 miles for example. As mentioned, I don't drive the car hard but if I do accelerate hard it is ok. The error occurs 'mostly' in 2nd/3rd gear low rev (1000-1500) rpm with moderate accelerator applied so the turbo is not really spinning hard. I'll try and so if I can repro the problem by accelerating up hill in a high gear/ low speed as that seemed to lead to the error the most - not sure if that info is any use... I still wonder whether it is a leak somewhere which opens up once in a while but I'm not remotely qualified to know where or how to look. Can leak tests be certain to prove the pipes are ok? The trouble is I have no other reference to know whether my car is driving normally but other than this occassional error it appears ok. I've only had the car 13 months on a 54 plate and half the time now I've had this problem. The other thing is whilst a turbo replacement is I suspect the course of action Volvo recommend next, what guarantee will they give to that fixing the problem i.e. if it turns out to be something else? It's one thing to spend a lot of money to repair the car but its another to spend that to try and repair a fault. Has anyone else cured this with a catalytic convertor replacement - I wonder whether that produces the same ECM code? |

exact same symptons
hi mike
we have been having the exact symptoms you describe for over a year now - have posted previously but had no help - we have v70 awd d5 163hp 2004 - nearly everytime i pull away up a hill from a standing start or sometimes joining motorway so need extra power than just poodling along it goes into limp mode - so have to stop, turn off & on again, then cleared. sometimes does this 3 times a day, sometimes not for a week but can make it happen to order. never first thing in the morning when cold. nearly always in afternoon when has been driven, stopped & started again. drove to germany twice this year doing 80 on the autobahn all day and not a murmer. anyway, dealer we bought from (independant volvo) had tried various things then sent to local volvo service who said need to change turbo. have already paid out for other repairs/investigations, how do i know a new turbo will fix it. how can it drive fine at top speed for hours but can't make it up a hill. have told dealer that i will live with it rather than paying out more in the hope that a cure will be found. its great news that you have cured yours but we dont have the option of fixing ourselves so are at the mercy of the garages. we are in the same business as you and also have the same work ethic - how come we are the ones labelled as cowboys? anyway, any words of advice greatfully received |

Urgent Engine Management Service required
Hi all....have just posted similar concern....and then found this thread.
I've been advised it seams turbo related - but have you seen the thread about it being linked to the catalytic converter? I'd have never have thought - but seams to have cured the problem (think I'd research the turbo route first - least expensive!!!) Regards |

Has anyone tried this as a direct fit for the original D5 one? The pics in Vadis differ a little. Is the electrical plug a straight fit? My turbo nozzle control governor has a leak in its membrane, and I rather pay £50 than £110 (There's a new one for sale on the Dutch equivalent of Ebay, but he wants 90 euro's for it (excluding shipping), getting the V50 one at the local Volvodealer will be probably be cheaper...) |

I have seen these solenoid valves for sale on ebay for as little as £10 for a 163bhp D5 ( second hand of course ) , why not try one of the breakers in the UK like Salvo group and most of these breakers advertise on ebay just offering one wheel nut off the car for £1 to get the exposure . Some of them can be quite reasonable in their prices and of course there are also quite a few cowboys who think they can sell an 8 year old part for more than the cost of a new one .
