fault code p2008 - Page 4

Many thanks for the guidance on this thread.

I had the same problem on my newly acquired 2004 S40 1.8SE, and none of the mechanics that I consulted could come up with a specific diagnostic, so I had to advise them from the information on this thread.

The solenoid was replaced yesterday and so far the warning light has not come on again.

Fingers crossed!

Here's an image of the old assembly that got replaced.

It's a really easy job to do, everything is accessible should take 5-10 minutes.

Hi rmdavy
Did you have to buy the swirl valve directly from Volvo?

Thank you!
Thank you for the Volvo part number, ordered a new from Volvo.
This solved my problem.

Best regards!

Great forum!

The ECM-2008 is the same error as P2008.
I have now bought the part 31375551 and I am going to pick it up tomorrow.

Anyone know what kind of tools I need and maybe could provide a picture of where exactly the solenoid is located?

I Have the Volvo s40 1.8l petrol 2006

Thanx in advance!

Same code here on my S40 -2006
Did the valve replacement solve your problem?

After a couple of trips to the shops etc, stopping and starting, the light went out and hasn't come back on since. The relief I can tell you was superb, I've had this problem for 6 months and now feels like I have the car I wanted when I bought it, so a big thanks to RMDAVY for finding the solution and taking the time to post on here, I owe you a pint

Bought and changed mine today. It wasnt that easy.. the only hard thing was to get to the screw under the cable harness. After a lot of bending and stuff i got it

Started the engine, let it idle.. stopped.. started.. etc.. and also went for a trip to store for shopping food. Driving back home.. but check engine is still on. Maybe my issue isnt fixed? maybe its something else? Please help.

Did you get this sorted in the end?

Yeah, i did!
A reset on fault codes was required!
ECM-2008 went away and have not come back.
Car drives really well. Good idle.

Hi orfeous,

I will be attempting the swirl control solenoid replacement this Thursday.
Quick question, do you need to disconnect the battery in order to replace the solenoid? Is it a 10 minute job?

Thanks,
Adrian
