xc60 advice
I have an XC60 2011
Took it to my local garage as the engine management light came on and lost power. it was a split turbo pipe. after they fitted it i have now lost all the info like mpg, av mpg av speed which was on the left stem also the oil warning comes on telling me to add .5 litre even tho i have done this twice. should i take it to a volvo dealer or is there someone in london that knows what they are doing to sort it out. thanks for any advice Last edited by xc60fhx; Mar 15th, 2019 at 19:15. |

Have you lost all historical data? Or all data since pipe was replaced? If car is using oil then I would be concerned, if the oil level sensor is misreading that’s also not good (overfilling can be as bad as under filling) certainly seems taking it to a general garage without the Volvo specific software could be a case ecconomy

This is yet another confirmation of Volvo's idiocy in not retaining the simple provision of a dipstick! It's not funny, it's not clever, it's bl**dy stupid.

Why do you need a dipstick? Presumably you trust the fuel gauge...

I believe you can get a traditional Dipstick fitted by Volvo for around £70 (i think it was a Police option). Will check with my dealer when my car is in for a service next week.
It might be wise to have two ways of keeping an eye on the oil level.

so took a couple of litres out then it said low fill half litre which i did twice but it always now comes warning low fill half litre. There are no leaks. I found what looks like the dipstick way down low but cannot remove it is ther a technique to it or should it just pull out mine would not budge. I have lost all the info on the left stalk such as mpg, av speed etc Is it likely taking it to volvo will bring it all back. Last edited by xc60fhx; Mar 19th, 2019 at 18:23. Reason: spelling |
