I'm having a bit of a nightmare with my V70 and have had it in to garages loads.

The problem at the moment is starting - all is fine when its cold enough for the glow plugs to actuate (anything below -1 degree c) but any warmer than that (or the engine already being warm) I have to turn it over and over and get a large plume of smoke.

I have had the pump timing, and everything checked and double checked at the garage. I've put new glow plugs in.

My thought were - is there a sensor which tells the engine when to put the glow plugs which has gone? or that can be re-callibrated to come on at warmer temperatures?

Thanks a lot
TC
