Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r6235876-no_heat_fan_blowing_cold_air . These are generic instructions. If you get stuck or need specific instructions for your car, please get back to me with model, year and engine info.

Try to locate where it leaks from ,might be from oil pan or drain plug or transmission or fly wheel seal.

Put a cardboard under the car to locate the exact spot. Good luck

have fuel pressure tested in fuel rail change fuel filter check cap rotor for crack inspect plugs and wires for damage make sure battery termanals are tight

Should be a button or lever either under the left side of your seat, or by your light knob. push button or pull lever, if door does not open then you have either a broken/stretched cable (if you have a pull lever type release) or most likely a frozen (as in not moving, not literally) gas door lock. Hope this helps!

Are you getting absolutely no gas? If so then Id check the fuel pump fuse/relay. See if your getting power. If you are see if your getting a ground to the fuel pump. If your getting low pressure then a restriction such as a clogged fuel filter or kinked line could do it. Inspect your fuel lines physically, and take the hose off from the rear of the fuel filter and see if gas comes out with the key in position 2. If you get nothing then you definitely have a pump issue. A common fault with these cars is the relay overexcites the pump and eventually burns it out. Replace the fuel pump relay as well if you find the pump faulty.

Hi,

Yes, you could replace the antennae rod only! You could order it from your dealer parts center and have them replace it.

Thats much cheaper than buying the whole power antenae assembly.

Hope that solves your reception!

Thanks for using Fixya!

You will have to get the vehicle scanned to find out what is wrong. The vehicle won't accelerate properly because the transmission control unit has gone into limp home mode (this is to protect the transmission from any further damage). When the trans goes into limp home mode, it goes into high gear and stays there when moving. There will not be any kickdown mode either.

You can check 2 things. 1., have someone in the car to turn the key to the start position. Tap the starter with a small hammer and see if it cranks. If it does, replace the starter. 2., have the battery tested as well as the connections to the battery. Corrosion builds and can cause heavy resistance to heavy loads(like starting). These are the 2 most likely causes. Let me know if you need further assistance.

when was your last tune up if its been a while start there that will cause the same symtems

You have to read the CODE first. Local AutoZone can do it for free. You can get a print out of the code explanation too.

it sounds as if you need to replace the lock assembly inside the door give these websites a try www.alldatadiy.com and www.autozone.com if all fails stop by your local Volvo dealership in the parts department and they be able to print you off the pictures and diagrams you will need wish you the best of luck Michigan Man.
