Volvo warning light

[davidr]

Got a warning alarm on my CB30. Can’t find it in the volvo manual...looks like a jug with a water level and a “b”. Took a picture but haven’t figured out how to add it to this post! I have a water in fuel alarm on the Garmin display. Is the Volvo display telling me the same thing?

I think that is the "low coolant" light. Mine came on two days ago and I topped it off with the recommended coolant and the light went off.

Yep. That is not in the manual for some reason. Or I am too lame to find it.

Add coolant and it will go away. But be sure to check around for coolant leaks.

It was the low coolant warning. I should have remembered that from 2 seasons ago! It is very sensitive, goes out after the engine gets to normal temperature. A small splash of coolant into the reservoir also extinguished the warning. I also realized that the water in fuel warning on the Garmin panel coincided with an engine service date...so it was the result of the techs disconnecting the sender. The Volvo fuel filter was a bugger to change. Tech told me that’s a common issue with the factory installed filter. Volvo doesnt lube the gasket and engine heat fuses the filter. You don’t have much room to get a filter wrench on it. They wound up taking off the whole bracket and took it into the shop where they could muscle off the filter.
