interesting thoughts, guys.

There is now no warning message in the car. It ran through from "low coolant level" to "stop engine", at which point she did.

As for the turbo, i used to hear a whistle as it kicked in. Now all is silent...

Safe- mode interests me (very Volvo). Can the ECU be reset simply or do i need a specialist electrical diagnostic service?

Car recovered to local garage who replaced the coolant hose assembly, O-rings etc. The car now runs rough and has no power. There is no turbo "kick" at all. Took it back and they tightened the hose from turbo to air box, which made a small improvement, but car is still only 60% power. They say it is a coincidental failure of "something else" as they only removed coolant hoses and the turbo hose for access.

so....

Could it be something simple (EGR valve/ O2 sensor?)
Could the very temporary loss of coolant have lead to turbo damage?
Has the local grease-monkey got in out of his depth and screwed up?

Please send advice/ ammo for Monday's "where do we go from here?", meeting.

Cheers!
hi
before you spend any more money on anything else get the codes read, either by an indi or at a volvo garage, then go from there, at the moment its all guess work,.

Default Here's hoping..

thanks all

I have booked the car into the main dealership (nothing until 9th Oct. and no courtesy car!) and am arranging to have next month's salary paid to them directly.

Will let you know the outcome in a couple of weeks for the reference database.

Cheers

Default Problem solved- at a price

Hi all

as promised i can now feed back on the result of the S60's trip to the main dealer. They quickly identified, through diagnostics, a fault with the air mass sensor. This was replaced within a day. They attribute no blame to the local garage who carried out emergency repair work (see thread). It was ,apparently, a coincidental failure. They then relieved me of £465. How does the price sound?

Anyway, it goes like a bat out of hell again.
Cheers

hi
glad you are now back on the road, if you would have known it was the maf sensor you may have got it cheaper elsewhere but imho you cant beat original.
