I think I will start by trying the other suggestion of checking the output of the sensor as I have one of the OBDC interfaces. I will just need to find the output in the Android App I have for it.

I plugged in my OBDC tool and tried a couple of Android Apps I had on my phone to try to find the EMAP sensor. I could not find it in any list of available sensors for either program even "Car Scanner" which seemed to have a specific list for the Volvo 2.0 VEA engine.
Can anyone recommend an Android tool that knows the full sensor set for the VEA engine, please? Whilst doing this I could see one of the tools shows the EGR valve position error, which was varying quite a bit. Does anyone know the acceptable range of errors one might expect, as my problem could be the EGR valve is sticking again!

I've owned my XC60 from new since November 2014 and this is now its 5th recall. Apart from an electric handbrake that sometimes failed to set the other 4 all relate to the plumbing in the engine around the DPF/EGR thingies. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the engineering abilities floating around Volvo!
My engine light came on mid-June (before the recall notification) after I'd done 200 miles at motorway speed so Volvo assist turned out a tech who found a fault code he believed related to the O2 sensor, he suggested cancelling it and as the nearest dealer was 50 miles away see if it came back on before going to a dealer as the journey could just have loosened a bit of crud. In early-July, again before I got my letter, it came back on again so I contacted the dealer who services it and arranged to get it seen but before it was the light went out on its own, so I cancelled as I understood no light meant no code could be read. This Sunday it came on again, so its now re-booked as the engine light is one of the symptoms specifically mentioned in the recall or more accurately pre-recall warning letter and I want it checked even if the light goes out beforehand. The dealer has stated I have to pay the diagnostics and Volvo "may" reimburse if this is recall related. I want it seen so didn't argue the toss but I would have thought the diagnostics would be covered by the recall and if it isn't recall related I'd be liable for any work it throws up as needing? Any thoughts as to whether I'm right or the dealer is? Also I'm not technically minded but is the O2 sensor part of the DPF as I've got the Volvo extended warranty and that seems to be the major exclusion in their cover? Wouldn't be too sure about that! |

The exhaust manifold sensor should not be considered part of the DPF, I believe it's purpose to provide feedback on EGR volumes. I regularly kept deleting the code for that problem (P014c) leading up to the last service, with an intention of mentioning it when I took the car in. However the problem magically fixed itself a couple of weeks before the service. .. I still mentioned it and the technician did confirm that a routine software update was applied during the service to compensate for this slow sensor response caused by soot build-up but that mine had possibly cleared itself during a DPF regen. Been fine for the past 6 months.

my wife has been at the caravan all summer with the kids driving back twice a week for work (about 80 mile round trip) so haven't had the chance to put it in to my local dealers although I spent 4 days down there last week and phoned the local dealers (Canterbury) at 10am to let them know I was having the symptoms described in the recall notice. I got a voice mail at 17:59 but it was to late because of my work and to make matters worse, my wife won't deal with it so it now has to wait for the kids to go back to school before I'll have chance to drop it to the dealers. have to say I wasn't best pleased about the dealer waiting until the very end of the day to return my call. Also the reception asked why I was calling and took my reg plate then told me the service dept were very busy. has anyone who has rung in about the recall been treated the same ?
bit of a cynic because we've had the car a little over a year and have a few issues surrounding the EGR problems. a couple of days after the EGR was replaced but can't help but wonder if there just covering there rear end by issuing the recall to safe guard what the world thinks about Volvo, the safest car on the road. I do hope I'm wrong because me and my wife love the car, just not the headaches. |

Short, sweet and to the point, Volvo CS reply below:
Quote:
If someone who does their own DIY maintenance, like Zebster, gets the engine warning light then I think it would be reasonable to ask Vovo CS for the fault code(s) dealers are looking for to indicate the manifold problem. If they refused to supply them then a complaint to the DVSA and the Motoring Ombudsman would seem more than justified to me. Same principal for someone who normally uses an indy for service and repairs would be my gut feeling. I do think Volvo are bang out of order and very cavalier in what is potentially a very serious safety issue. If they'd offered to check whether it's the recall issue for free but charge for the diagnosis if you wanted to know what the light was on for if it wasn't the recall, that I think would be fair enough. |

The fact that main dealers charge over £70 for the diagnostic plug-in is a major disgrace to start with......not covering it automatically on the basis of this scare-mongering vague-half-recall letter is outrageous.
Going from loving my Volvo (which hasn’t had any issues) to feeling I won’t touch another, tbh!
