Question Dear Ray
I've got Volvo t5 auto 2001. A year a go engine management light coming up say's transmission need a service.Since then i asked a few specialist but none of them can go to the hart of the problem. The car drives nicely only when i am on D drive and i am stopped with my feet on break gives a litle kick (charge a gear).Any advices .
Thank you for your time
Answer Lefteris,
There are possibility faults posted. You need to read those faults to see what needs attention. You will be wise to find a shop that knows the Volvo's so they can advise you what the faults are. If the trans fluid is dirty and has not been recently changed you may consider having the fluid flushed.
