Volvo 'check engine' light on this morning

[Welly]

Well buggery doo, there I was happily jumping into the car this morning only to be greeted by the 'check engine' light upon firing the engine I haven't done anything, I haven't said anything, I even cleaned it up real good at the weekend

The car drives the same and sounds the same

I did notice it felt a bit lack-lustre on Saturday but put this down to the air con load but thinking back at the last time this happened it was the same - a bit dodgy one day then the light on the next. It was something to do with the 'Long Term Fuel Trim' last time which they reset and sent me on my way so here's hoping it's something simple .........

It's down at the dealers tomorrow, I drive there and then they give me a lift to work

Oh flip, are there any cheap interfaces you can buy to hook it up to a laptop yourself Welly?
Fingers crossed for you.

Mmmm. Volvo too....

Perhaps it's just us that are cursed, whatever we drive

Good luck with it, Welly

My Dad's V50 since we've had it in 2008 has had the drivers side front window fall into the door twice, the front passengers side window fell into the door once, the passengers side rear window has fallen into the door 3 times, the radio goes off as and when it feels like and Volvo can't find the fault, it's on it's 3rd turbo, Volvo replaced the break pads at 25k and within 200miles the new pads had disintegrated and fallen apart, the car drops boost as and when it feels like, it's had a new inter cooler + pipes, new MAF, new injectors, new cat and the front splitter keeps falling off

Good old Volvo

[teamster1975]

You're supposed to be giving Welly encouragement Bailes!

[DiscoPol]

You're supposed to be giving Welly encouragement Bailes!

No you've got it wrong Teamy,

we start with mild mocking,

then we move to gentle p1sstaking,

then to outright mockery,

and finally when we think he is almost a broken man on the brink of total desperation and regret for moving to the dark side, then we give him encouragement ,

or is this just me

[teamster1975]

or is this just me

Nope, I'll go with that!

Flipping 'eck

I'm not surprised though in a way cos new cars are getting shocking in this way. Mines a 2005 and maybe 'better' ?

I have had the non-conforming radio though twice which just fixes itself

To be fair otherwise the car never misses a beat

Oh and I'm not letting your mockery get to me no I'm not

[DiscoPol]

Oh and I'm not letting your mockery get to me no I'm not

We know mate, your much too thick skinned for that, you must be,
the only other person you can speak to about Vulvas on here is Bailes and its his DAD that owns the Vulva , I mean that speaks volumes (unlike your radios)
but as we all know, you are the mature voice of reason on this forum and we all look up to you for that,
and we thank our lucky stars on a daily basis that we have you to help steer us in the right direction,
Thanks Welly

*See's 7403406 as a strong character, tries to ignore his mocking*....


*See's some sense in what he's saying, feels ownage coming*....


*Senses bottom lip quivering*...


*Holds back the tears*.....

[DiscoPol]

I think I will skip stage three and move swiftly on to stage four,

Im too busy genuinely laughing out loud, not often I can say that!

so chin up Welly, get control of that lip and just pray its "a plug in switch off" type job for the stealers

[puggy]

Good luck at the stealers welly !!

It's down at the dealers tomorrow, I drive there and then they give me a lift to work

* am i right in thinking that the lift to work is on the same mini-bus that takes the old codgers to the

local community centre for a spoon fed lunch , heheheheheeee

Oh it looks like Puggy has taken the baton and is going in for stage 3 with renewed gusto and panache only a man of his standing could muster.

does your logo look like this now Welly?



Ive heard Pfizer or whatever they are called are in talks with a certain car manufacturer to put a pack in every glove box, you cant help but admire that kind of marketing, millions spent on research that I could have saved em, if only they had asked.
I know, I shouldn't be left alone with photoshop, I apologize
