Recently bought a ex police s60 t5, great car first Volvo I have ever had. All of a sudden the fan comes on from start up and stays on till car is turned off. Is it to do with temp. Help!!!! Lol Cheers k

Get a code reader on it if you can mate, if you can. The fan kicking in for no reason usually means something's wrong, or at least it thinks something's wrong and it's trying to protect itself. Has it been doing anything weird - misfiring or juddering, lights on the dash? It's a brave man who chooses ex-plod as their first foray into Volvo ownership lol (I should know) what year is it? Feel free to join the ex-plod register :D Welcome to the forum. :welcome:

It's the sort of thing that would make the car panic and trigger the fan (mine does it when I blow a boost pipe). See if you can get a reader on it but it's probably the sensor.

if you waqnna look at the thread below this, thats my mate who started that thread on behalf of me, any advice on remap and full exhaust

HLM is your best bet for a remap - £300 and a before and after roller session. As for exhaust, that's more down to preference. Ferrita sound the best on these engines imho but it's all about what you want. Head to youtube and listen to a few tuned Volvos and see what takes your fancy.
