Hello Folks ,
My wife is starting to think that I may be stupid.
We sold our 2000 jetta TDI to get a super nice V70 GLT.
We have had a few problems and she is almost to the point of wanting her Jetta back.
Anyway, I recently replaced the rear o2 sensor and now I have another code coming up. According to the guy at autozone Its a P0116 . Can anbody help me figure this out. car has 85,500 miles on it 2.5 turbo engine.

Thanks fig.

    the temp gauge is "normally" at dead center in the gauge.

    From the Brickboard archives...

    You really, really, really need to have a tame Volvo shop to deal with these cars!

      Thank you for the reply.
      I know that the car is running fine and seems to be normal. I have noticed that the heat guage does seem to stick in the cool area for a long time then jump up to read the actual temp. We also have noticed that the fans will run after the car is shut off . But, a I think that is normal. However, after the guage and fans I would perodically check the engine and it seemed to be running cool. I may have something as simple as another sensor bad .
      Could sombody tell where it is?
      Thanks fig.

        Your coolant temp sensor should be located somewhere under yout intake manifold towars the front of the engine.I've experienced a similar problem whereas the sensor being bad cause my idle to "suck" when the car was cold (30 deg f and lower.)When the the coolant temp rose,the idle improved.So if you have'nt done so already,replace the coolant temp sensor.

          I don't know if you've solved this problem already, but I had the same problem with my 98 V70 - Code P0116. Mine was having the same problem, running cool and sometimes the cooling fan would run after I shut off the engine. I looked up the code in the Brickboard archives and found that the most likely cause was a stuck open thermostat. I changed it and since then, the engine warms up quickly and the temp is rock solid at the 3:00 position. I had the light reset and haven't seen the light come on again. It's a cheap easy fix, and the instructions are on Volvospeed Bay 13. I did not see a code for a faulty engine temp sensor, so I did not change it.
