Default 1.6D Starting Problem

Needing some help with my Volvo 50 1.6D.

A couple of weeks ago i went out and started it up and first thing i noticed was it didn't first up first turn like it normally did. The engine then ran for a few seconds before cutting out. It ran smooth and didn't splutter or stall.

Then when i tried to restart it it turned over for between 45-60 Seconds before spluttering for a few times before starting up. Then the rest of the day it is fine the only thing it may take 2 or 3 turn overs before starting but won't cut out.

Its only doing this on the first start of the day.

It has been into the garage twice now and they still not found the problem. The first time they took it to volvo who diagnosed pedal switch (Didn't sound right to me) got it back and worked fine for 2 days before the exact same issue happened again. So off it went back to the garage.

They phoned today to say its ready. Asked what they did and didn't really get an answer from them on it but said they have sorted it. They are saying there is no error codes or anything displayed. I am very dubious of this and expecting when i go out in the morning it will do the exact same as before.

I have tried searching the net and the forum but not found this fault anywhere. Has anyone ever come across this and able to point me towards what the problem is?

Maybe air getting into the system? Any leak off pipes on it?

Thanks for the reply.

As predicted it has done the exact same this morning so i will be on to the garage shortly. I have video of it every time on a morning doing the same thing.

Is there anyway i can easily test this? I find it strange how it only does it once a day first thing on the morning and it doesnt splutter splat and runs smooth and just cuts out like i turned the key off.

Also missed off the original post its a 59 plate and done 101k on the clock.

Hi, I'm from Italy and I have a V50 D2 r-design My12 and have the same problem. It is random not every day but last time the engine the engine needed 3 long ignition tests before resuming and running properly. No errors...... I still have to replace the diesel fuel filter

It sounds like fuel starvation, fuel pump on its way out? Or an air leak allowing the fuel to run back?
