C30 flick start problems
 

Hi folks.

My c30 T5 has flick start and it stopped working yesterday. Now about a year ago it stopped working and when I tried the spare key it worked again. Now I have two keys which won't work the flick start. I'm wondering wether the batteries need changing in the keys. It's a 2007 model.

Any help would be brilliant. I love the flick start and use it each time I start it, so I want it to work.

Please help.

Flick start??

Maybe a fob option to start??

Or the preheat option for starting the car on the driveway before you get in it??

Volvo call it autostart, you just flick the key to the starter position and let go the car just starts. I like it too

I'm going to have to try that tomorrow when I go to work ;)
Is it petrol and deisel options it works on?

It must be both MarkT5 is petrol and i have a D3

I have the 1.6 diesel non drive variant c30

Interesting to read. My wife's C30 T5 has this option too and I noticed a few days ago that it no longer works; instead of briefly turning the starter knob and releasing, it now has to be held "conventionally" until the engine has caught. No great pain! No "key voltage low " message is not displayed but none-the-less I will try a new battery and see what happens.

Flick start only works on the D2 and 5 cylinder engines...

I've driven the C30 three times since my last post - and flick start worked each time despite doing nothing to troubleshoot!
