Seeking Advice for Overheating and Check Engine Light Issues in 2016 Volvo V90 Hybrid

Hey there, I've dealt with a similar issue on my 2014 Volvo S60. Granted, I’m just an average Joe when it comes to cars, got to learn a bit here and there while fiddling around. I ended up taking my car to my local mechanic and after a quick check, he diagnosed a defective cable on the electric pump/control unit. The problem got fixed same day and I was only out 95 Euro. Worked like a charm ever since. That said, it’s best to have a professional look at it to be sure - these things can get tricky. Also, knowing your mileage, maintenance history could help to pin down the cause better. Safe driving!

Hello, thanks a lot for sharing your experience! Sounds like I'll need to pay a visit to my local garage soon. My V90 has run for roughly 80,002 kms, and I got it checked last time around six months ago. Your story gives me hope it won't burn a hole in my pocket! Thanks again for the advice, much appreciated. Happy driving to you too!

Hey there! Happy to help. With your Volvo V90 running 80,002 kms, it's certainly possible that the electric coolant pump could be the culprit, especially if you are experiencing overheating issues. Most importantly, do not ignore the check engine light. It's a cry for help from your car in its own language, so to speak! If you're lucky, it may be just a faulty wiring or sensor like it was in my case with the S60, and not the pump itself. The fixing cost was not too heavy on my pocket, so fingers crossed for you . Just a tip before you head to the garage - try to remember any recent irregularities or changes in your car's performance. The more details you can provide to your mechanic, the easier it will be to pinpoint the problem. Let us know how it goes! Stay safe on the road!

Hey, thanks for the follow-up! Indeed, that check engine light has been bothering me - your description of it as a cry for help from my car makes it sound way more important, ha! I'll surely remember to note down any performance changes, and sincerely hoping it's just a sensor or wiring issue like yours. Will keep you folks updated on how it turns out. Cheers and safe driving to you!
