Re: Volvo warning
Thanks Mark. It’s pretty much what I did except I used WD40 and did not spray at the same time as moving the arm up and down – maybe I should try that. Maybe I should use Corrosion X instead?

Re: Cleaning the fuel tank
I just had mine professionally cleaned – it cost USD500 and took several hours with some pretty sophisticated looking gear, and involved negotiating baffles in the tank. Good luck!

Re: Volvo warning
I had the same fault code with the last digit being "0". I was able to lube and free up the actuator. It could also indicate a bad sensor or another turbo related issue. Take a look at the attached

Cleaning the fuel tank
I have never cleaned a fuel tank and was wondering how one goes about it, I only now have about 10 gallons in the tank. Do you install a pump hose on the end of a length of 1/2 pcv tube and just move

Re: Volvo warning
I looked up fault code MID 128, SID 27, FMI 1 and it is something to do with the Variable Nozzle Turbine (VNT). A Swedish forum said to WD40 and “exercise” the lever which I did but I still get

Re: Volvo warning
Reference the attached pdf. It indicates that button to press is not the rotary button but the top left button. Good luck and let us know what fault code you find.

Re: Volvo warning
Thanks Nick, I think I'll take your advice on that. I also tried the 7 sec (and longer) roto knob press as advised by Thomas from Garulfo, but nothing happened - maybe a different software
