'99 V40 in dealers - bankrupt soon (ECU?)

Feb 5th, 2007, 21:06

Hello,

We have a 99 V40 1.8xs, trouble free last 3 years, 58,000 only. It was a bit overdue last service, petrol got low, filled up and Engine light came on. Running very rough - sounds like blowing exhaust (limp mode I guess).
Volvo dealer says no codes from ECU - they reckon replacement ECU or 'Injector Rail' (£1000 + for part - either one). waitin to try one off similar car - they reckon if they try a new part i will have to pay for it and they don't know which one it needs ! Gone 2 weeks now.
it's always seemed V thirsty, light has come on now again but always gone next time started.

Would really love someone to tell me whats wrong, Any ideas Volvo fans ?
