Somebody help pleeease! I have managed to make my car undrivable!
After getting a new intercooler fitted i was still getting limp mode when going over 70mph and a very loud squealing sound when accelerating , so i decided to take all the i/c hoses off to check that none had burst. After finding that they were all ok i put them back on and now i am getting hardly any power from the engine at all! It doesn't even rev properly ,almost as though its not getting enough fuel. When i tried to drive it i was down to 20mph trying to get up a hill. It was fine immediately before i took the hoses off ( apart from the limp mode at 70mph and the squealing noise)
I have checked all the sensor connections that are near to the hoses that i was working on but cant find anything untoward .
Anybody got any ideas ? I would be most grateful if i could get my lovely old Volvo back up and running .
