Thank you Nickbw for your reply.First off, I have no problem getting the bulb holders in and out now that I have replaced the taillght section,some thing that should not have been necessary with a...

Thanks but I'm just as wise as I was before.

Hi all. I just ran fixd on my car and it tells me "Ambient pressure sensor learned value error" Could someone please tell me what that means. For the record where I live emissions test not required.

Have replaced upper unit and reinsulated suspect wiring,all put back together neat and tidy but no joy.Nothing on that side is working except the turn signal.Tomorrow I will try to trace the wiring...

Thanks for the clarification Hoonk,I am not unfamiliar with wiring diagrams but this one sure had me beat. Yes,I did mean the upper set and I replaced the defective bulb,or tried to.It now turns out...

Thanks for the diagram brOdy,unfortunately it might as well be in Martian as far as I'm concerned,I can't make head or tail of it. I'm following up on what Hoonk said about the system turning...

Thanks for the reply brOdy.I spent most of yesterday trying to get my hands in there to get the bulbs back in but my hands are too big ad not bendy enough(arthritis).Re the fuses,yes I have power to...

Afternoon all, I am at my wits end here and my last remaining three hairs are about to fall(or be torn out) so I need someones help. I have spent the last four hours taking out the trim and removing...

Certainly I have similar symptoms but it seems to me that if there is a crack in the water jacket the water has to be going somewhere,either out through the side of the block or into an oil way or...

Thank you all for your input.It seems to me that for all the suggested causes except the head gasket there would be physical evidence of a leak in the form of coolant puddle somewhere but there is...

I did think of that but have only had a cursory look at the floor.I will go and check thoroughly later.How hard is the heater to get at?

Here we go again.Now to add to my AC and Evap problems I have the missing coolant mystery.Every 40/50 miles or so I get the message "coolant low,stop asap. Check coolant and sure enough it's low,top...

Thanks for thatSarince.I will go out and check that in a while,need to cool off first,been shovelling sand and it'a 90 here right now.

I have no idea what the clearance is and to find out I would first have to get at it,which speaks volumes about the poor designing of Volvos these days,I'm sure little or no thought is given to the...

Yes,the fan is working ,it's the clutch on the compressor that is not.

I recently replaced my radiator and after putting everything back together I have no AC,not really much fun when the temp is 95 during the day.My question is what could I have done to cause this.It...

Check heater hoses.

You have my sympathy.I also made the mistake of thinking that the more modern Volvos were as rugged and reliable as their predecessors but rthe scales have now been stripped from my eyes.Yes ,it is a...

Thanks Astro,I'm going to recheck them later today after running down to the store and back.
Yes Mick,thanks,I did notice that those long bolts could be out of kilter if you weren't careful.

Morning All.
Could someone please advise me as to the oil pan bolt torque values.I don't want to accidentally overtorque them and possibly stip one.Also the torque sequence.Thank you in advance.

Continuing the saga as I'm sure you are all agog,I have finally got everything back together after the invention of many new words and a lot of skinned knuckles.It all seems to work,with no coolant...

Actually,now I come to think of it I have replaced a headlamp bulb and it wasn't too bad.As I remember,I found a way to do it without removing anything,can't remember what it was now though.

Thanks,I seem to be on the right track.I have the assembly angled down and supported on the drivers side,the pass side being held up by the receiver,I called it a day right there before I looked for...

Ok ,that's beginning to make sense,what you seem to be saying is that you have to separate the three cores before removing the radiator completely,is that right.So the intercooler and condenser will...

Eureka,got the unions figured out and disconnected,only thing left holding it in now is the little shiny cylinder on the pass side of the radiator.presumably AC related.How do I release it without...
