Hey there! Yeah, this problem has been giving me a bit of a nightmare. Sounds reassuring that it might just be the wastegate valve linkage. Will definitely bring it up with the mechanic when I take it in. My V60's got around 81,654 KM on the clock. Did the last service about six months back from an authorized service center, and everything was working fine till this issue cropped up recently. Thank you so much for your help, really appreciate it! Let's see what the mechanic says about this. I'll keep you posted, fingers crossed!

No worries, happy to help and share experiences from my old V40, those Volvos can be a bit temperamental at times, can't they? That's a decent mileage for an '04 model, so it does seem to me like it might be time for some part replacements or adjustments. If it is indeed the wastegate valve linkage like in my case, you probably won't be looking at a lot of expense - unless there are other lurking issues yet to be discovered. But let's not think too negative, eh? Just ensure you discuss the symptoms clearly with the mechanic. That way, they'll be properly clued in and hopefully catch on if it's the same issue. Looking forward to your updates after the workshop visit. Good luck!

Absolutely, those Volvos can be quirky sometimes, but I have a soft spot for mine. Definitely sounds like it could be time for a bit of maintenance work, I'm prepared for it. I'll definitely make sure to describe all the issues to the mechanic and, your suggestion about the wastegate valve linkage, too. I appreciate your optimism and assistance with this. Here's hoping it's nothing too serious or expensive. I'll definitely give an update after my visit to the workshop, and can't thank you enough for your help. Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly!

Hey there! Sounds like a bit of a headache, but don't worry, I had quite a similar experience with my '02 Volvo V40 Diesel. I'm not a car-guru, but I've dealt with my fair share of car issues, so I can give you a tip or two. Faced a similar engine light situation and power drop. After taking it to the workshop, turned out it was the Wastegate valve linkage needed adjusting. And boy, that little tweak made a world of difference! And to top it off, wasn't too heavy on the pocket either, just set me back by 240 Euro. But hey, can you tell me a bit more about your V60? Like the mileage, last service details, that sort of stuff? Could help paint a clearer picture and maybe I can dish out some more specific advice. Cheers!
