Missing manual pages for Volvo 2020D

[Daydream believer]

I have an online manual for my VP 2020D engine
It is becoming awkward to start & i want to test the glow plugs plus the relay etc
But guess what??
Pages 72 & 73 of the manual are missing
Anyone know how i can easily get these pages please?

It suggests the reason those pages are missing is tht someone in the past had the same problem and took the pages out of the manual...

Have you tried the volvo website?
But be careful as uou will then get ads for volvo cars? .. see lounge..

I haven't got my manual in front of me but from memory the glow plugs are easy to test.

First check with a meter that they have actually got power going to them when you press the 'heat' switch. (Meter on volts connected between block and the strip of metal that joins the glow plugs together and to the wiring loom.). This will prove the relay is ok.

Then you'll need a long reach quarter drive socket the correct size to disconnect the electrical connection and then remove the glow plugs. You can check the resistance of each one (should be 1.8 ohms from memory but will look like almost a dead shirt to the meter) or connect a reasonably thick wire to them and try them on the battery one by one. Be careful as the tip glows red hot almost immediately. I connect the wire to the end and to the one battery terminal and then hold the wire end and dab the body of the glow plug on the other battery terminal. Be bold and positve in your actions and watch out for sparks and don't short the battery out by letting the wire end touch the battery terminal!

When glow plugs fail they usually just go 'open circuit' so it should be obvious what is happening.

If the engine is proving reluctant and the glow plugs are fine and its being spun over properly by the starter then my next suggestion would be to get the compressions checked.

It is usually the fuel bleeding pages missing from all online manuals. Copyright infringement maybe. PM me your email and I'll forward a PDF with all pages.
