jamesinc I would start with the battery honestly. Then the alternator. Everything looks like a symptom of low voltage.
Forg Our Commode has a 9.25yo AC Delco battery in it, with none of the dodgy electrical-system behaviour you'd expect from a battery heading towards failure.
Dewolf Hey mate, Any updates? I have a new Youcanic scan tool we can try if you'd like. Its managed to clear a code on my 98 S70 T5 which Vida won't read.
Woneme01 Dewolf Hey mate, no not yet unfortunately, had a new addition to the family, then ordered the wrong part to replace the split hose so ive been on hold for months. The most i've done is call up RJ Batteries regarding a Optima Red Top Battery
Woneme01 Hi Brains Trust, im going mental trying to source this part. Its a hose that i believe is connected to the thermostat? Mine has split as per the photo and given me project paralysis.
timbo I'm pretty sure that hose is only available as a complete pcv hose assembly that runs to back of head and intake manifold and PTC resistor in turbo intake
Woneme01 Unfortunately im going to have to succumb to a need of a working second car…..so need to send this into a workshop to get these things sorted……any recommendations for volvo workshops in Adelaide?
