hi all, The auto box is playing up.its ok or short local journeys.no problem,but on longer trips 30 miles or so the auto box stops changing gears properly.it seems to stick in 3rd or fourth & wont change up or down ,unless selected manually. any ideas?
hi, thanks for the response.there is a message stating transmission service required but i have had the atf changed when i had it serviced at 100,000.levels ok.timing belt changed etc... i'm not sure whar you mean when you say have the error codes read jic,can you explain. cheers
I think jic means just incase. But I may be wrong.

Error codes can be read by plugging a diagnostic error code reader into your car. Volvo can do this for you or most decent independant garages that have code readers.
as Des said get the codes read asap. 'Tranmission service required' message means a fault logged in the gearbox ecu. until that message is erased/checked the gearbox will be in 'limp home' mode. Gear changes will be all over the place
thanks everyone for the advice. i have rang the local volvo dealer ,its booked in for monday. the guy just said wat you guys have said error codes limp mode etc... they have quoted me 94 pounds for 1hours labour. the guy whoseemed very helpful thought they should be able to diagnose the problem within the hour. will update you all on the progress
