Hi All,

New to the forum, but not new to Volvos- used to have a V40 ages ago! Anyway, just got a V50 1.6d (08, 2008 model) and had it for about a week now. All good until yesterday when the 'i' light lit up on the dash and the message 'Reduced Engine Performance' came up on the display. If I stop the car and restart it, the message clears and the car can be driven normally, but it's done this about 5 times now! Does anyone know what might be causing this (or what to check) and how I can stop it??

Thanks in advance,

James
