Engine Managment service Urgent, Help!!
So today, I bought a used 2009 volvo s40 1.6 diesel. Car seemed perfect when I drove it. No warning lights or anything. About an hour and a half into my journey home the red warning triangle popped up in the middle of the dash saying "Engine Mangment service urgent". Car seemed very dead. Any bit of an incline and the the car struggling. Long story short, the guy who sold me the car wasnt taking any responsibility. Pulled in and turned off the car and started it again. The warning light was still there and the car was going up through the gears fine but still seemed abit dead, once I hit 5th gear the car struggled to go above 115kmh. Once I got off the motorway and into the city it seemed alot better but all of a sudden it would seem dead again. Car is idling fine, no weird noises or clunks. Can anyone help please

That sucks!
Can you get anyone with Vida & Dice to read the code for you? that should give you a good starting point. I think you can use an ODBII reader but the codes are generic rather than detailed like you would get with the Volvo software. |

You should check your local laws. In many countries there is buyer protection, which will require the seller to either purchase the car back in full or pay for repairs.
The issue arose right after you bought it, he is responsible. |
