Hi Paul.
Still new to this so don't know how to e-mail Driver. Just to let ppl know to turn OFF the Emissions light (providing it's not a propper fault) Disconect the batt for 1/2 hr then re-connect and it should be out. Have to reset the clock and radio thats all. Joe. |

Stumbled across this forum by accident, but im very glad i did. First off all let say sorry straight off as i dont know if im on the right section for this, but i saw the last post and i is one off the questions i wanted to know the answer to as my light came on last night.
Also the main question i would desperately like an answer to is this, If i have less than 1/4 tank of fuel and i park up over night 9 times outof 10 it wont start in the morning. I then can go and get a couple of litres of fuel (unleaded) put it in and away she goes. this only happens if i leave it over night. I can travel all the way down to an empty tank but if i leave it overnight as i say it wont start. Ive had it into 2 garages and both say nothing wrong with it. But try telling me that when ive got to get a taxi to fill my petrol can on a cold mornin when im running late for work |

Late reply and a first post from myself.....
My S80 2.4 SE suffers the same non-starting problem, although with less fuel indicated in the tank. Having spoken to a number of specialists and an RAC mechanic, it appears to be a common 'feature' of the car and all recommend keeping fuel levels sufficiently high to prevent it. I am very wary of the indication given by the fuel gauge, it is certainly not linear (a steady movement towards empty as fuel is used) and slows dramtically at the top and bottom of the gauge. As an ex-technician, I know that cheap instruments can suffer from this but you'd think that a company like Vovlo would put something of better quality in their car? |

Very useful FAQ, I actually either lost of didn't receive by handbook for my S80, It would be a good idea to get it back, I'll use that ISBN and see what I can find, cheers .

I have a s80 2001 I have code p0011 camshaft position A timing over advanced or system performance bank 1, I need to replace camshaft position solenoid. If I replace this part will it make my car stop surging while I drive or while I am in idle? Or do I have another problem
