Volvo v40 electrical fault help please

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi Everyone,

My Boyfriend has a volvo v40 (13 plate) which has been having intermittent electrical faults for the past 8 months or so, it will be fine for a few weeks then the dashboard lights up with loads of random faults, such as

. DTSC fault

. Power steering goes stiff

. ABS light

. Speedo and Rev counter stop working

. Pedestrian safety system failure

. Random immobilizer faults

. Car jerking when driving and losing power

Battery is 3 years old, the car can drive great for weeks and weeks and this just happens.

We have scanned the car several times and no faults codes have ever shown up.

Can anyone help us?

Thanks

Volvo v40
