Hello. If you suspect that the sensor was not replaced then that can be why the light is coming on. I would need to know what code is coming from the computer for it to be able to tell better...
While many cars today do not have a transmission fluid dipstick and fill point, yours should still have one. The dipstick handle is not red like most vehicles have to indicate transmission fluid. I believe yours is yellow. With the...
Hi there. Thanks for contacting YourMechanic.com. In order to provide you with an estimate for replacing your brakes on the Volvo S60, we'll need to gather some additional information about your location and the car. To begin this process, please...
To check for engine-mount problems, you can try shifting from "neutral" to "drive" and back, while the engine is running. If the vibrations disappear or reduce dramatically in "neutral," it’s likely that you need new engine mounts. Whenever there is...
Hi There, A number of sensors may become faulty in hot weather conditions which will ultimately cause the check engine light to come on. As the weather gets hotter, many sensors, fuel injectors and other components such as ignition coils...
Hello, thank you for writing in. Both codes relate to some kind of air leak. This may mean the MAF sensor has failed and is not capable of sending the signal for that air, or it may be an actual...
Hello, thank you for writing in. Every vehicle is going to need maintenance and repairs eventually. At 50,000 miles, the vehicle likely does not have much that in needs in the form of repairs, but it may be time for...
Hi there. It is possible that either the starter is not properly installed or there is an electrical fault in the ignition system (or on the starter itself). It's also possible that the starter was not the only component that...
That's a curious mess of problems. I would first suspect a problem in the ignition switch itself. The switch has several separate circuits and one of them may be dropping out causing the seeming random failures. Since your transmission is...
You may have a failing voltage regulator that could be allowing the alternator to supply too much or too little amperage to the battery resulting in the battery never maintaining a consistent charge as it is designed to. The voltage...
There are several schools of thought on that, but most often, the manufacturers do not recommend lubricating the wheel nuts. Here is a link to an article about installing wheel nuts Some technicians and tire stores are careless about tightening...
Hi Christian. Thanks for the additional information. Based on what you've indicated, I would suspect that you have worn out wheel bearings causing the vibration, especially if you are experiencing the vibration reduces and when you make a turn. However,...
Hi there. It really depends at what speeds you are experiencing the vibration that might point out a few possible sources. If the vibration is apparent upon instant acceleration (at slower speeds and progressively increases as speed does) it is...
There is a test protocol in the factory service manual that is relied on to determine if a tie rod end is "worn out". Per the protocol, if it turns out that only 1 tie rod end is worn out,...
It may be that you have low system voltage. That might be because of a dead battery, or it might be because of an interruption in the power distribution. But since everything is computer controlled these days, if the system...
Your car has a small purge valve with a purge solenoid in the Evaporative Emissions system that controls the venting of fumes from the fuel tank as these fumes build up inside, particularly when you are refueling the car with...
Hi Christian. The fact that you remove the mass air flow sensor and the engine appears to run fine might be an indication that the root source of your problem is the electrical harness that connects the MAF sensor to...
Hi Ray. Thanks for contacting us today. The best way to ensure you properly align the timing marks is to purchase a service and repair manual for your Volvo. Each vehicle has specific steps that need to be followed, and...
Hi there. This step is designed to maintain forward brake pressure on the pedal to reduce the potential of air bubbles from seeping into the master cylinder and causing additional problems with bleeding brakes. However, since you need to completely...
Hello, thank you for writing in. The fuel filter is located on the driver's (left) side of the vehicle. It will be inline, so finding a fuel line and tracing it should help you locate the cylindrical filter. It will...
