Volvo V50 2.0D and a load of fault codes

[andymc1973 199]

So, the car threw up a brake warning message and then refused to start, the AA guy has sent me  a list of stored codes

[Grantlfc81 88]

sounds to me like a wiring loom issue, or the ecu is fried, to have so many different errors....

[andymc1973 199]

If it starts I’ll chuck it into the auction

I was thinking this... but didn't want to say it....

Andy, the CEM (Central electronics module) is under the glovebox, has lots of wiring plugs going into it and fuses in it. I would be tempted to unplug them all and reconnect them and see if it starts. Also make sure the wiring to the module isn't chaffed anywhere close to the unit.

I agree also,I have an idea,maybe we could contact Channel 4 and pitch for a new motors show ‘Challenge Andy ‘based on  the Challenge Anica concept........Only joking Andy,I know there is profit in risky stuff,providing of course you bin the bad ones early...which it appears you do.

I think I do or I’m more vocal 

It’s hard at my end of the market as the cars need to look good value but they invariably have issues due to the age and miles, I will of course wear a tight jumpsuit if it’ll get them fixed

Andy helps out do a lot of checking over on cars for me thankfully I tend to get the lucky ones

I’m averaging 1/20 as a loss, the secret is to get out of them ASAP. I do find when I get one, another 2 or 3 hit me and then I’ll go months without another loss...

[andymc1973 199]

I sold 230 last year as a one man band, 34 in January 2018 so probably the more you sell/buy the more go wrong, in all fairness i'm not at the price point where I buy low mileage German diesels,  i once was and I can recall the precious wankers you dealt with

Last year I'll have had (I think) 6 refunds on cars that were beyond repair and they got shunted in the auction, the secret is to refund quickly, wipe your mouth and then move, keeps the customers happy and stops you dwelling on the loss

ps and around 8 pints a night

I HATE VOLVOS. 

 

That's all I have to say on the matter.

[trade vet 704]

Hi Andy

You retailed 230 last year and 34 in January from a pitch all on your own......That is incredible,well done.......All I would say is ,make sure they are all recorded ,you don’t know who is reading this forum...

Its more than likely a lot of those faults are historical, and you may be dealing with just one live one now to be fair the aa diagnostics machines are very good so maybe pulling up faults from the past.

Andy, I salute you, how have you managed 200+ in a year ? Do you outsource everything apart from advertising and putting your name to it..... That's my goal

[andymc1973 199]

All i do is buy and sell, the rest is parcelled out

[Grantlfc81 88]
