alastairq Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Well done......OP. A link to these at a volvo spares specialist, whom I have used in the past. http://www.partsforvolvosonline.com/index.php?cPath=105_601 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted May 19, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 19, 2015 Jenny, That is really great news. A new career as the"Volvo Whisperer" perhaps, repairing those that others would have given up on! Hope you get another 200000 miles out of it!

RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted May 19, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 19, 2015 Well done Jenny and everyone that helped. Cam sensors are known to give hassle on the Diesel Flawed Foci too, I hear. Don't fail completely, just.... about. Jenny a lady? Don't know about that, but I do know she is a professional driver, broadcaster and quite an admirable person. Giving closure on the thread is so important, car forums are full of really interesting fault finding threads with no conclusions. I always try to drop back in to give an answer of any I start, even if it's negative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyID Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I was reluctant to bring this up earlier, but when Jenny described her code reader, I remembered that on at least one vehicle I had (a Ford I think) you could insert a jumper into the OBD connector and when the ignition was turned on, a the trouble codes were reported by "morse code" type flashes one of the dashboard lights. Hopefully the Volvo 850 did not support a similar arrangement! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartingram Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Well done Jenny, great result. We all all proud of you! And thanks for concluding the thread too. Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spannerman Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Well done Jenny, excellent work. With no technical knowledge I didn't post earlier but have followed the thread with fingers crossed . There's nothing worse than car troubles which always seem to crop up when you can least afford it. After that success how would you feel about attempting a dual mass flywheel and clutch on an XC90?

RANGERS Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Delighted to see a positive outcome to this. I've been following it right through and as pleased to see it pass as I would if it had been my own car! Well done Jenny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chris p bacon Posted May 20, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 20, 2015 Well done, One less for Lakes of Wyboston. . . . at the moment.. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Emily Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Given the help that the old boy at Lakes Autos had given me over the last couple of weeks, I was going to gift him the car in return as a thank-you. It only has a scrap value of £100 and I would have rather it went to a place where parts of it might help others to fix their cars than just get squashed into a cube and sent to China for reprocessing. Still, he'll have to wait now as I've got at least another 12 months, possibly longer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark axlecounter Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 glad you sorted you car Jenny there will be no stopping you now. As for nik (spanner man ) dmf on xc90s are not that bad but I would get a solid flywheel on it Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kazmierczak Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Well done Jenny, I wouldn't have had a clue. Checking the oil level is about my level of mechanical competence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
