Check engine light, code P003F camshaft profile control stuck, replaced impulse sensor, error persisted, about to replace variable valve timing solenoid (solenoid is stuck), cylinder misfires as well On acceleration, message display "Reduce speed or shift up" engine misfired, ran rough, check engine flashing, set pending misfire codes and P003F. Will replace spark plugs (original) but maybe a coil pack(s) may be bad? |

The Check Engine light would illuminate after about 3 hours of driving. The next day, sometimes the light was out and sometimes the light was still illuminated. The light would eventually go out on this day. A scanner was hooked up and gave the codes P0190 Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor and P061A68 Internal Control Module Torque Performance Event. The trouble codes were checked in the alldatapro.com/alldata database. For P0190, the condition was that the Engine control module (ECM) measures the fuel pressure in the fuel rail using the fuel pressure sensor. The ECM checks the direct voltage from the sensor. Possible source of the problem: open circuit in signal cable or ground lead, contact resistance and oxidation in the terminals, short - circuit to supply voltage in the signal cable, open-circuit in the signal cable, or damaged fuel pressure sensor. A fault symptom is that the engine misfires but this does not happen. For P061A68, this DTC is not caused by a fault that needs to be remedied. The codes were cleared and no repair was done. |
| 91056 mi US $53 |
The fuel pressure sensor had been indicated as a problem in the July 2017 reading of the check engine codes. The fuel pump fuse was pulled and the car was started and restarted until it would not. The T-25 torx screw which I had tried to remove in December 2017 and February 2018 was finally removed. The screw was in a difficult position and I was able to use a tiny ratchet with a T-25 torx bit (taped with electrical tape to the ratchet so that it would not fall out) to remove the screw. The fuel pressure sensor twisted loose from the fuel rail and there was no pressure and very little fuel in the fuel rail. I replaced the sensor and the screw and the fuel pump fuse. The car started right up. The next week I drove on a 300 mile trip and checked the codes at the Vicenza Auto Skills shop and the problem had cleared. |
| 93620 mi | Front engine mount |
| 115000 mi US $450 |
Replaced oil trap |
| 128000 mi US $399 |
Oil separator had failed causing excessive engine vaccum. Replaced it. |
| 81000 mi US $135 |
Had a Check Engine Light (CEL) on, code pointed to an emissions problem and was forced to bring it to the dealer for diag and smoke test etc. They found a cracked gas cap which was replaced and code cleared. |
| 41000 mi | 1)radiator leak- big parts of system were repair 3)o-ring for oil was replaced |
| 62000 mi | the pump leak detection diagnostic on fuel tank, module gone bad |
| 103000 mi US $535 |
upper motor mount arm, with synthetic oil change |
| 62000 mi US $468 |
Engine light came on. Took it to the dealer. Code reader said Mass airflow sensor. While replacing, discovered PCV box needed to be replaced. |
| 63000 mi | engine light came on repeatedly. MAF sensor, PCV, pinched wire to fuel injector all diagnosed. Fuel pressure sensor gauge was replaced, all seems ok now. Only paid for first visit. |
| 87000 mi US $1800 |
2 Broken engine mounts |
| 15000 mi | software issue regarding cooling system |
| 16000 mi | Initial trip to dealer in September for reflash of the engine cooling system was not performed due to lack of knowledge on dealer. Called Volvo NA and they contacted dealer directly to request the reflash procedure. |
| 58400 mi | Spun front bearing, engine ran for months with a knock. When they opened up with Volvo's approval (CPO vehicle) they found the bearing had rotated 90 degrees and was all chewed. They are putting a new short block in the car. |
| 73000 mi | Total engine replacement after new short block started burning oil. Mechanic's best guess was that the valve guides and seals were leaking because the old heads were used with the new block. |
| 64000 mi US $171 |
Dirty Camshaft Profile Sensor; Removed and replaced with new sensor. Volvo recommends oil/filter change after replacement and this was also done. Dealer didn't have part in stock and needed to order it; returned next day for completion. |
