I've got a flashing 'up' arrow on my dash (managed to reassure the wife that she was not about to be ejected through the sun roof) The car drives fine, if it wasn't for the flashing arrow I would be none the wiser that there was a fault The fault code showed 3-1-1, RPM transmission sensor. I can cancel the fault code, but fault come back as soon as the car reaches about 15 MPH (before the ABS cuts in) The guys at Volvo were not very forthcoming as what the problem might be To replace the sensor is about £55, if I do the work.
My questions are
I did have the radiator fail and mix the auto box fluid with the coolant. This I have fixed and have done my best to flush both systems. But I noticed that the transmission fluid is still looking emulsified, could the water content be effecting the sensor?
Do these sensors 'play up' ? I dont want to spend £55 to find the fault is elsewhere
Also where the hell is this sensor? the Guys at Volvo were at a loss (or did not want to say)
As I said the car drives fine!!
Thanks to all for any advice and help........ttfn......Alistair
