A bad oxygen sensor is not always easy to detect. If it stops working completely, your service engine light comes on, but if it's simply not working well, there may be no indication. It's a good idea to consult your owner's manual and replace your O2 sensor for Volvo at suggested intervals.
All internal combustion engines need a proper air/fuel mixture to run correctly. When measuring oxygen content, the O2 sensor signals your vehicle's computer on how to adjust the mixture. When the engine has more gasoline than it needs, it consumes all the oxygen causing a rich fuel mixture - not to mention costing you more at the pump. Your Volvo oxygen sensor is very important and should be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles.
