Help with warning lights

spider147 · Dec 19th, 2007, 21:26

Hi, what a great forum, with loads of helpful info. I've just bought a v40 2.0T 1990 with 88k miles. It has a few issues that I'm gradually sorting, but so far I am pleased. I never imagined buying a Volvo, but am glad I did.

Temperature- was running cool and heating was poor. I changed the thermostat and that sorted those issues as well as giving be another 5 mpg. Now it runs at 30mpg.

Dash illumination- got new bulbs for the heating controls.
A few other bulbs got changed
I still have a fog light to change, as it has a cracked glass.
I also have the turbo oil seal to change as theres evidence of a leak.

I need some advice about a couple of warning lamps. The airbag and washer fluid lights are on. The washer level is fine, but I haven't had the airbags checked yet.

I just want to make sure that those two lights on at once are'nt a code for anything else.

Thanks for all the great tips and information so far.

No there not they both seperate,

only lights that tend to come on together are engine warning light and trac's light

I'm having a similar problem, my light blinks on intermitantly despite plenty of fluid, it's very annoying.

Anyone have any idea's why???
