first cold start of the day
Hello all,
having a few problems with our 2004 d5 xc90. the first start of the day temp has been below -3 the car takes about 3 attempts to start. the starter is spinning quickly as usual so its not the battery. just as it tries to fire up it dies. once it has been started and driven less than a mile it will start first time every time really well. we always wait for all the lights to go out on the dash before starting. the other morning car said engine service urgent when the mrs went out in it after it struggling to start, this has since cleared will any codes be stored? am i off the mark thinking glow plugs? i say this because after every failed attempt to start the glow plug light come on for a few seconds again. Thanks |

Get a leak off test on your injectors first, theres a good chance one or two have gone down. glow plugs are not really a common fault.

Yeah a good garage will have some kind of kit to do it. The cold start issue with injectors dont always cause a running issue. Its the first test i do for a cold start issue on the D5 engine.

P0108 Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric Pressure Circuit High Input P0244 Turbocharger Wastegate Solenoid A Range/Performance now the car wont start is just clicking which i assume is a dead battery. any ideas on the above codes? |

battery wont be jump started or accept a booster dropping to about 6v during cranking even whilst being jumped on the battery direct. afterwards as soon as i put the ignition on and the cars dashboard lights kept flicking on and off and loads of different warning kept coming on.

Oh dear, sounds like you are having a few issues. What i would do is to get the car running and take it to your dealer. Leave it with them over night and get them to do a leak off check in the morning. I wouldnt of thought that those codes would cause a poor first start in the morning. Some codes can be stored by excessive cranking and poor running, i.e the "first mile." They should do the leak off test first and then check the codes. If your injectors do seem to be the cause of the poor start then a read and erase of the codes will do, obviously if the light comes back on then further investagation maybe req'd. Without my tools and VIDA thats all I can help with at the mo. Also as banksy said before a fuel filter change never hurts or at least drain the filter. Undo the screw on the bottom of the filter, turn on ignition for a few secs, refit screw turn ignition on for 30 seconds so it fills back up then start the engine.
