transmission servce just flashed up

jakechester · May 26th, 2014, 15:09

Hi All
Just had the above message flash up on DIM,what am I looking at work wise and price wise ? the car is also due a regular service and was wondering to get it done with service if I can afford it.car is a v70 d5 auto having covered just over 85,000

Could be a number of things, temp, slipping, lockup etc.

Can you give more details?
I have an S80 auto D5 with a box thats clinging on for dear life...... it was banging, clunking, etc and I had to do 3 full flushes of oil ( cost me a FORTUNE in oil ) which made it better..... I then had to refurb the solenoids which isn't a 5 min job.

I had the light flash up again the other week but in fairness I was giving it some when it happened - drag racing a mate on an old airstrip.

I bought a spare gearbox for when it eventually just dies.

Also, I bought a cheap ebay VIDA DICE thingy..... £70 I think it was which tells me everything about the volvo's codes and allows basic programming of certain things.
Cheaper than taking it to a dealer.....

get the codes read..... could be a temp thing.
Dont ignore it though, just do a search for the auto boxes issues to see why

All depends on wether you do any towing or a lot of town stop/start driving. Either way I recommend a fluid change every 80,000 miles at least. Earlier if you tow

what age is your car as they have different gear boxes

All P3 V70 D5 Geartronics have the AW TF80SC 6 speed.
