D19 - S40/V40 to 2004 - Intermittent fault

V40disaster · Dec 16th, 2007, 14:33

ref previous posts: our colleagues keep referring to plugs and points.

The problem is fault code cannot be read by 2 local garages.

The fault is intermittent:

Symptoms are : lambda light on, rev counter doesnt work, no power, smokey, noisy. Timing feels miles out basically.

Then it works fine for a minute or a day.

My hunch is that there is a solenoid or other electropnic control device on its way out. Which one might it be???

First thing I would do would be to check the wiring loom under the radiator. This is a common failing on ALL classic s40/v40 models and can cause all manner of faults.
