I don't have play in my drive shafts and diff, I have slop....That's what 239000miles does, BUT I have no vibration up to 80 mph - don't go faster. I do get vibration as the front wheels wear though. Don't know if its a lose of a weight or just uneven wear, but I need at least one re balance per set. BTW classic MAF fail is uneven idle, which becomes even when you disconnect the MAF. Dremmel/hacksaw a slot in the torqx screw..... simples Cheers Bob |

same issue
I have had the message for some time now. The first time I encountered it I had not changed the oil for ages and the car (a D5 engine diesel S60 2006 with 110k miles) lost power on the motorway. In that case the oil was low and so I topped it up. Then my friend changed the oil for me. Then after some months the message started to come back, at first intermittently, one day yes, another no, etc., it resembled the other message for the angle valve DSTC service required which did the same but that one depended more on humidity and weather. So for the past 3 months the message is now PERMANENT. While driving on M40 past Oxford I had a red message regarding coolant low and "stop safely"!!!. I panicked and stopped the car. I was on a level motorway when the message came on so I found this strange. Also the coolant was OK, it tasted sweet and within limits. When that happened I did check the oil, It was higher than maximum. I realize the engine was warm but still it seemed quite higher than maximum some mm. Regardless I bought a bog standard engine coolant and added a fair bit. Drove down to Brighton and back and the red message never came back although engine service required message is still on.
I will change the oil now and tell the man not to put it too high and let us see. Funny how some Volvo dealer told me "it is probably miscommunication between components" That was the Oxford Volvo claiming to have read the thing but not charging me and telling me to come back so they could read it properly (they never read it). I only post all this because it seems to me that the message on the coolant is compatible with problems with the oil. Coolant and oil work together. I will post again if after the change of oil and lower level of oil the message should go away. Last edited by DanielHoward; Apr 20th, 2015 at 17:05. |

Same message but automatic gear box not right
This warning came on today and on the drive home the power through the automatic gearbox wasn't right it isn't shifting properly. It's an xc60 61 plate never had any problems before. My drivers side door did freeze this morning as well so all in all a bad day!
Could the cold effect this or is it just coincidence? |

Fuel Filter
The message "Engine System Service Required" appeared for first time about two weeks after I changed my fuel filter last November. I have S60 D5 D5244T over 180 000 miles . I read very carefully all threads here related to this message, and noticed that the message was appearing on the screen immediately and every time after I was reaching 3000 rpm with losing power, no matter how many times I was switching off and on the engine.
So, I went to the garage yesterday and replaced the air and fuel filters (this time I purchased original Volvo filter kit). We switched on and off the engine few times after replacement to check what error codes I get. Two appeared and could not be cleared (see the pics below). Anyway, after the replacement of air and fuel filters yesterday, my car is running OK again and the annoying message doesn`t appear anymore on the dashboard. I tried many times to accelerate and check the airflow, fuel injection and everything else which could come to my mind after all posts here related to that fault, and so far I do NOT have problems. The problem for my car was the fuel filter. I hope this can be from help to many people and save them a lot of money for trying to replace turbo, swirl arms, injectors, etc. For diagnostics, cleaning the MAF and replacement of air and fuel filters I was charged £30.00 in total.
