Hi all,

im reaching out for some help. i have a 2009 xc70 D5 with 137k miles. FVSH

the issue is when its hot the tick over isn't very smooth. ive had it at the local dealer who says there's no fault codes so nothing they can advise

ive had this engine before and it was silky smooth at idle but this one just hunts up and down a little

any help would be appreciated
