Hi all,
Took my Volvo to DPA in Nottingham. Chap there was switched on and mentioned everything mentioned in these forums by me just letting him know the code. Gave a llttle confidence.
Then the little gadget stuck on the side of the airbox, the chap disconnected the 2 hoses from the device, bypassing it and joined the 2 hoses together, and asked me to see if that helped the problem. Really gave me time and explained what was going on.
I drove it 6 miles back home and not a sniff of limp mode. I will drive it over the next 6 days and see how it goes. Booked in for a check out on Wed next week.....probably smoke test etc...
Will keep you posted.
Cheers
