Over revving

samuelellis · Feb 4th, 2015, 11:26

Bit of an odd one this, I have a volvo S60 D5 with the 185BHP euro4 engine. Over the last couple of days when i go for a gearchange and depress the clutch even though my foot is off the the throttle the revs will rise a good 300RPM or so beforedropping down to idle

Would anyone have a rough idea what causes this,

Air leak

rc2870 · Apr 7th, 2018, 13:00

Similar issue nearly with my 2003 D5 V70 2.4 S 62000 but hardly used for 2 years before I got it. Oil changed ECT.. ..
Running like a train until last fuel fill and now over revving through gear change and lack of power. As I pull away and through each year change revs freely up to to high fees but without much power. Reminiscent of limp home mode on my other car!
I've put diesel fuel additive Redex in to see if it's injectors?
Any help very welcome!!!

Regards

RC

Hi I've just joined this forum because I've just bought a S60 D5 2005 with this same problem. When you say Air Leak martin_r_smith how do I go about finding this?
Did you ever fix the problem samuelellis?
