Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site. There are several hoses that would give the appearance of a leak under the engine. None of them are under the engine so you should be able to see where the water is coming from. Quote: change my thermostat but the two screws are stripped Are the screws themselves stripped or is it the holes they go into? Is it possible that this is where the water is leaking if they have been partially released? Bill.

Thanks for the tips bill, i'll give them a try and see what happens. The diagnostics reader test - would any local garage be able to do this or a volvo garage? Just saves me a few phone calls

Been reading in other forums that the P0237 code usually means a bad MAP sensor. Going to try replacing that along with the boost controller. Will report back when it is replaced.

I'm still having the same problem. When the engine gets hot, something in the electrical system is preventing the starter relay from getting a ground. As far as I can see the ground comes from the immobilizer unit, why it come from there I don't understand. I have changed the starter and the engine speed sensor. still the same problem. I am able to rapidly cool the engine speed sensor then start the car. This is why I changed the...

Started a timing belt change following instructions I found somewhere on line. Got down to the point where it told me to remove the the crank pulley. (I found later where I didn't really need to remove the pulley!!) Under the car with a long bar trying to break the nut loose and felt and heard a couple of "clicks". Didn't think too much about it at 1st but then realized I could get the belt off without taking the...

Its best to make sure the cams and crank are lined up correctly before going forward with the prodedure. make sure to relieve the variable valve timing tension by turning the crank forwards and then backwards per the procedure. After you have done that the timing marks shoud be aligned. If not you will need to correct things before moving forward. Once finished replacing the belt, tensioners pulley etc,just line up everything per the procedure...

I've read pretty deep and couldn't find info for my specific car. 2003 S40, switchblade type keys. Keyless entry stopped working, so I put a brand new battery in. Still doesn't work. My other remote also doesn't work, haven't changed that battery yet. I'm not interested in going to the dealer. Can I reprogram using the 5-times turning the key method? I also understand there's a receiver or antenna that...
