C70: - Cutting out

Paulsc70tgt · Jun 20th, 2016, 14:17

I have recently found that my 2.4t C70 seems to have an issue starting, the engine will fire them immediately cut out, if you try to start it again straight away it does the same, however if I wait say 30 seconds then try starting it, it fires up no problem. (its almost as though it is flooding when you first fire up and waiting the 30 seconds or so is allowing it to evaporate)
The issue seems to becoming more frequent originally it did it once every few weeks but this week its happened about 3 or 4 times, any one have any ideas?

Had exactly the same issue with my C70 T5, and a simple clean of the immobilizer antenna ring sorted mine. Hope this is the same for you.

As above, but you're looking more to clean the contacts, rather than the actual ring itself. Be thorough, it's a common fault.
