Ignition Leads
Folks,
Has anyone replaced the ignition leads ( assuming there are still such things ) on their petrol XC90 yet? If so, how much and where ... The car is starting to struggle starting from cold. The battery is only two years old and has been charged, the spark plugs were only changed last year. Years ago, when I used to venture under the bonnet, I cured similar symptoms by changing the ignition leads - so this could be a complete red herring.

Starting Problem
I feared as much.
The car is a T6 (B6294T). I have checked the battery but it appears fully charged. The problem does appear to be asociated with cold/damp as, once warm, starting improves. The car was serviced two weeks ago by the local Volvo dealer and they said that there were no codes displayed and had no problems. They may have kept the car in a garage. The only point of interest is that the car has been converted to run on LPG. If we use the LPG the car needs to be run for longer to improve starting. Given that the LPG takes heat out of the engine cooling circuit the car does take longer to warm up. I will get an engine code reader and check. |
