I would be grateful for any advise on this one - I've read many posts that have similar symptoms but none that match this fault

.

V70 D5 SE March 2006 - full service history via main dealer. I bought the car 1/3/9 - great motor makes my previous Audi A6 Avant wanting.

17/3/9 - coming home from work felt like car slowing down (i.e. foot of gas) wouldnt accelerate / drop clutch will not rev - coasted to side of road with dead engine - all electrics working fine - no warning light or any messages. Tried several times over 25mins to restart, it did at last attempt. Took to dealer 18/3 fault code for injector 1 - replaced 23/3.

Tonight coming home on same journey exactly same fault - 6 times on 15 mile journey

- only this time had to wait just 5mins for each restart - again no warning lights or messages.

Fuel filter changed when I bought car so no issues there - I know that the injectors are a weak point in the D5 but am I going to be replacing them one by one over the next 2 months

Thank god I got the Volvo warrenty but it dont help the messing around

Should I go and get the A6 back before they flog it ?

Thanks for any help
