D5 (D5244T to 2005) - Black smoke on acceleration

Futher to my injector problem..here are the details. However, there's no black smoke at the moment.

52 plate V70 D5 auto - 99500 miles..cold start problem this AM for the first time. After about 3 mins of cranking, it started. Outside air temp around 7'C after a chilly night. Heater coil light worked as normal.

Volvo dealer quoted £250/injector plus labour.

So, taken the car to a local Volvo specialist. No fault codes showing, mechanics reckon it's an injector problem. They have quoted me £30/injector to have them checked + 1 hour labour (£52 +vat) to get them out and in. They can get any faulty injectors refurbished for £125 each with 1 yr guarantee. That sounds cheaper than Volvo!

Car is at the garage now. Should know more in the next few days. Will keep you posted.

If this works, I will give people the garage details for those that are interested. They have done work for me before and are very good. Garage is in Norfolk.
