Won't start solved

Nabirmingham · Aug 7th, 2013, 20:24

Don't know if this will help anyone my S60 would not start earlier it would start then conk out straight away so I thought of fuel which there was at the engine
Immobiliser ??
After racking my brain noticed that I had 50miles till re-fuel but it was on a kerb so I pulled it off the kerb and stuck a jerry can worth of fuel in and bang it fired
Does anyone know if this is a common fault or what I can do to fix it ???

Interesting, I had my XC60 start and then cut out straight away today, I was on business in Manchester and ran onto reserve, I stopped at a Mc Donald's for a tinkle before heading to a Tesco's over the road to refuel...never had this cut out issue on starting happen before, but it certainly caught my attention...

What year is your S60? This forum is for the current generation

IIRC there have been a few stories in the past of S60's which are very low on fuel not starting if they're on a slope etc, seems the fuel pickup system may not be the best designed part of the car.
