It is only a few seconds now as the heater is a ceramic plug which is much more efficient than the old coils.

Would be very interested to hear what happens here. My XC60 started doing this last week. Worked great yesterday but failed to start this morning. Tried several times today. She is turning over but.won't fire up. Tried both keys and the shake solution but to no avail. Will try it again in the morning. Volvo dealer doesn't know the cause as no warnings are coming up on the dash.

To me thats a lack of fuel, my old hilux had a glow plug control unit failure but if you cranked long enough she would start without any pre heating. The repeated cranking and compression providing the heat for initial ignition. AFAIK all diesels are the same, they will start eventually minus glowplugs.

fatneck,
Have you tried wiggling the gear selector while trying to start the car? Assuming you have a geartronic, of course? I'm not sure if with a Volvo the engine still turns over, but locks out the fuel? David

Hi Folks.
My car is half full of fuel so it may be the sensor problem, although I would have expected some sort of warning on the dash but there are none. Tried the gearshift wiggle David but no joy. Problem is I can't even start the car to get her to a mechanic. The problem hasn't gone on for this long before so maybe it is getting worse. I thought there maybe a clutch depression sensor as the clutch has to be in before she will start, perhaps someone can confirm or deny this for me. Failing this I am thinking along the lines of a defective immobilized. Jim. |

When you press the start button, do you hear the steering lock disengage? That may well point to a immobiliser issue. Although I'm surprised the engine spins over. David
