Hi guys; my first time on this section and I’ve learnt a lot. Please just got a Volvo XC90 2005 and I need a good rewire since Volvos have sensors everywhere and I have some issues to clear; heard software can cause some issues,

Reduced engine performance
Engine system service required
Anti-Skid service required

The first two just popped up today on a trip. Also who has a good AC man that knows about Volvo. Need to sort these out and enjoy my car even more.
Thanks a lot.

Come to Airforce mechanic yard in ile zik, ikeja and you will meet the Volvo guy there. As for your reduced engine performance, the car is reacting to the unleaded regular fuel that you are using for a car that requires premium fuel only.

chronos00:


Let's not jump to conclusions, this scattershot approach to diagnosing or repairing vehicles is very antiquated. There's a myriad of possible causes of the reduced engine performance message.

The correct next step would be for the vehicle to be scanned with an adequate scan tool. Not those generic tools, it needs to be a professional tool. It's the codes from that scan that would point to the issue causing the engine performance message.

OP, if you're in Lagos, go to Ladipo, ask for Alhaji Amusa Street in Daleko. That's the Volvo headquarters in Lagos. The scanning+possible parts would be resolved there.

You may be right but like he stated, he just bought the car and any car that uses our fuel for the first time has check engine light comes up especially if you are using a car that requires premium fuel. Buying a Volvo and go and stand in a noisy, dirty place because you have the parts there does not mean that there are experts there, the guy I recommended worked with Doyin motors and so will be in a better position to fix his car.

More arrogance, yet your skull is empty, such a dunce and yet you're casting shades on people who are a thousand times more knowledgeable than you on the matter.

Now i see the reason why you get a lot of stick on Nairaland and you have a rock bottom reputation.

Now go and ask your Doyin motors expert the possibl3 cause of that message on the XC90 and stop embarrassing yourself here no more. I won't reply any tantrum you come back to throw

valarinz:



"Reduced engine performance" message on your car is triggered mostly by either a bad coil, plug, maf sensor or etm. Either one of these or a combination of any are not performing up to expectations. So you have to scan to determine the culprit

The fact you have the two bolded messages concurrently points most likely the maf sensor/etm axis, all the same get the car scanned

Same scan will also tell you why you have the Antiskid message, you can reach on WhatsApp for connections to Rewire to help fix, if u dey close to Ogba, come my place I'll help u scan too(free of course)

sooperrescue:

I did not mention you and I don’t know why you are pained. All you are soliciting for is for him to come to your place. I am not a Volvo mechanic and if you know you are good, tell him and not take offense over the fact that there’s a guru out there that knows Volvos more than you do without coming online to solicit for clients. No body charges for scanning cars anymore.

chukel:
you dished out very toxic information which you have been known for. I'm surprised in 2021 you still tenaciously hold onto that toxic opinion with which you wasted a lot of Range Rovers in the years past.
