v70 r design 2009 ignition starting problems
hi can any one help/
I have a v70 2.4 d with push button start whilst on holiday 4 weeks ago. I started the car as normal. but it just keeps stopping. with the clutch depressed it carries on trying to start until the battery is flat. I called the rac and they diagnosed an ignition fault. they took it to ty lon Volvo on Anglesey. after 2 days they rang to say car was fixed. I was well happy as was £125.00. they said it was the bezel where you put the key fob in the dash causing the fault. with the immobilizer. it worked no problem until today. same problem. I thought it might be the battery as its 4 years old. so I have fitted a new like for like battery. but its still the same. any no what might be the problem or had the same problem. I presume it will end up at the garage that fixed it. but there 50 miles away from me. any help would be well appreciated. |

yes it does stop. and you press it again and it keeps on trying to start. if you hold the start button in it runs ok for a while then stops.

ahh so its not a starter switch sticking , It is the engine which will not fire up .
it is usualy a lack of fuel pressure on a diesel which will not start . The first thing i would do is change the fuel filter . If you listen down the fuel filler can you hear the in tank pump whirring when someone turns the ignition on? it should run for about 20 seconds ...

holidays over, got car running eventually, but its back to not starting again. it must be clutch related. as when you depress the clutch to start when its playing and release it stops but if you keep starting whilst holding the start button in for about 10 minutes it eventually starts and its ok for the next 8 to 10 starts then its back to not starting. has any one got any ideas. its not fuel pump as had this replaced just in case.

to all you clever ones lol. it turned out to be a clutch sensor. nothing to do with the diesel pump. diesel filter which I had replaced along with new battery. new starter motor ect ect.
hope if any one else gets a sim problem this might help |
