Engine System Service Required

gar v70 · Aug 21st, 2018, 19:05

read through a few off the search but nothing giving me an answer , so the problem I have is :-

Engine System Service Required message came on, (no codes) I reset this by pressing the trip and key method , (2002 v70 2.4 petrol non turbo )

came on again after a bit of use with a heavy right foot

tried the reset again didn't work but after numorus attempts at this with no joy it went out on its own ?

now its back on again and wont go out at all,

any have any ideas on this please

thanks in advance

Could be blocked fuel filter, blown intercooler, the varible vanes inside the turbo may be coked up and getting stuck (as happened with mine) split boost/ intercooler/ turbo pipes, leaky engine mounts, to name but a few culprits.

From my recent experience, is your battery dieing.
I got that message and limp mode. Went to Volvo Exeter for a diagnostic check (prior to putting in to my prefered indie to give him a clue) and £2000 turbo quote (more than the car's worth).
In the interim the battery died, replaced, problem went away.

IS your car cranking at a decent speed?

Boring answer, but you need to plug it into diagnostics. No point guessing with these cars.

not had a chance to get it plugged in yet, but the message went out on its own again for a bit then now back on, is this normal until I can get it plugged in to find out the problem.
