    Thank you very much for the idea and help , i will check this tomorrow , as i told you the wastegate and wastegate sensor was changed , hopefully is not the wastegate sensor you talk about and another one as i have no ideea what EPG solenoid is , is the "EXHAUST PRESSURE GOVERNOR" the same thing with "EPG solenoid" ? i see that you mentioned both ,...
    Also which is " the air control line" what is the purpose of the line ?
    P.S , engine is VED12 465 / 2006 , with 2 egr valves on passenger side.

    I know this engine. Sometimes it is the nightmare for mechanix. We change many parts before find what was wrong. Volvo Version-2 is a good truck, but complicated and difficult to diagnose. Volvo wanna save $$$ for dealer's emploiment education and they provide VTT (Volvo tech tool) and VCADs now is just a part of VTT. Idea of VTT is build in assistance and mechanics follow manuals. Sometimes the way to solve the problem is too long.
     
    Narcis.M and dorlia2 Thank this.

    Hello,

    Same issue with my truck, a 2007 with only 227,000 miles. How did you get warranty to fix this on a 2006 with 400,000 miles, they are declining me any warranty help at all?

    Is your truck really 400,000 miles, or is it KM since you're from Canada?

    Wow! I feel sorry for you. I always thought I made the right choice for myself, by hanging on to my 95' intl. still going strong. I once considered Volvo for their comfort. my $15,000 truck. just had an inframe done approx 1 year ago at 1.3 million miles. will hang on to what I have.

    I'm guessing you don't have any power either....

    I have the same engine & can tell you that there is a quick fix that will only cost you a simple price of $5.00!

    BLOCK OFF THE EGR!!!

    So sorry to read about such bad story. I imagine what are u passing through. With 28000 $ u could buy another complete engine and still left with some money in your pocket.
    And yes, I have to agree: Volvo shops are the most pathetic shops on North America. I do own a Volvo and when I have to go to the shop I need to take pills.
    They have the most inexperienced mechanics ever and the worst customer care in the industry. They are "milk and honey" till they sell u the truck and after that they dont give a darn on customer.
     
    Jack Daniel Thanks this.
