andymc1973 199 Posted November 27, 2017 Hi all, as above, cars on high miles at 150k drives well other than a slight hesitation at low revs, what should be the first port of call? Are they prone to anything thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ek cars 17 Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) Know them well enough to say they like an egr valve replaced or cleaned every so often and at that mileage wouldn't do no harm to do that plus air filter, oil and fuel filter.

andymc1973 199 Posted November 27, 2017 Cheers I was leaning towards a fuel filter as First port of call, it’s not putting an eml on though which is strange it would be nice if a mechanic could diagnose correctly instead of me paying for a list of parts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BHM 994 Posted November 28, 2017 The only Volvo diesel you want to touch is the D5. For some strange reason the French crap they shovel under the bonnets seem a lot more fault prone than when they’re bolted into a Citroen/Peugeot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's me 615 Posted November 28, 2017 if you want the cheapest fix try a couple of cans of injector cleaner from pages and give it a good italian tune then take it to the bloke with a brick but only half a clue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
