Continuing from my previous post http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/index.htm?id=714194 I have taken the car to the dealer mechanic. He said the volvo computer diagnosed the problem as immobiliser related. That was the only fault detected by the computer. I think that the faulty Air Mass meter was also detected the same way at an earlier servicing. Apparently the unit is not recognising the key (on the remote lock unit) at odd times. The past two days the car started very well at the first attempt as expected. Is it possible that the on board computer stores all starting faults which can be retrived by the volvo computer diagnosis program? (provided the battery is not dead). How reliable is that information?
In any case the immobiliser unit costs nearly euros 415 + tax (at 21%) and takes about 2 weeks to get in!
Your thoughts most welcome.
Thank you
