My first post and it happens to be begging for help (shame on me)!
The car in question is a 1998 S80 T6 2.8 twin turbo. Its GREAT. When it decides to work properly...
I haven't owned this car long (about 2 weeks) and the entire time has been spent chasing oil leaks and generally being under the lid ... Hmmph.
When I got the car it was boosting fine, completely mental and insane fun.
Now, not so much....
I will start with the things replaced and jobs done because its easier to outline:
New battery as the previously fitted one was hilariously under sized.
New TCV and ALL of the vacuum hoses associated with the turbo circuit. (3 TCV units fitted to date and none made a difference to this fault).
Replacement cam seal, exhaust cam transmission side.
New camshaft solenoid reset valve gasket along with unit cleaned and checked for operation.
New turbo return line gasket and o'ring on one turbo because some moron thought silicone would repair the leak before I got it.
2 replacement coil packs (all the rest are tested good order.
Full set of iridium NGK plugs.
Most recently a new Volvo genuine inlet temperature sensor ( part number 9445153 )
3 of the coil pack connectors on the coil loom as they were all smashed up.
Brand new fuel filter!
Now down to the issue!
The car starts readily and idles well when cold. Once warmed up it gets very slightly lumpy but I have had worse idles on some of my cars.
The car drives great around town and so long as you don't want all of the power its great and returns good mileage.
The second you use most, or all of the throttle, the engine goes up to 3500 rpm and then shuts off (like a fuel cut off). If you keep your foot on the throttle it surges power .... Full... Nothing....full....nothing and so on.
I have no idea what to check next or replace as the ecu isn't throwing fault codes.
I have previously seen ECM 6806 Indicating low boost pressure. Since the repairs listed above, it hasn't thrown that code again. ECM 980A something about intermittent ecu internal fault (only does this if you have the battery off) and one I can't recall to do with can reset valve .... That hasn't come back since the valve was cleaned and new gasket fitted!
What the heck is going on with this thing??? I have thrown around ?200 at things that should have fixed this fault in a week (I do all my own work). I seem to have made no ground towards solving the issue ..... Time to ask the experts of this parish I think before I end up in a nut house haha
Thanks in advance for any responses either leading to a repair or not
