This is obviously a design fault judging by the number of posts on the matter, and the reports of various vehicles (yes even diesels) catching on fire abroad. Yet Volvo UK are refusing me any compensation at the moment. They recalled all D5 S60s for problems with fuel leaks (SAME ENGINE) yet didn't bother with the V70 D5s. When I asked them why they skirted around the issue by saying that they responded to the complaints they had from dealerships about each specific model, but it begs the question, if it was deemed to be a problem in the S60 D5s, why was it also not deemed a problem in the same engine V70??? We bought the car in 2006 with full Volvo dealership history from a Volvo specialist garage - the car has been serviced just once by them, and they use full Volvo parts. I feel so strongly about this that I'm going to take it to court if necessary to get my money back, so the more ammunition I have the better. Anyone else who's experienced similar problems/ had money back from Volvo for it please get in touch. |

Hello all, first time poster here.
I've had my S60 D5 for just over a year now, it's done 119k miles so it's no spring chicken but I've got the starting problems described in previous posts. Funnily enough only when it's cold! I changed the glow plugs and sure enough one was defective but the problem is still there. When it starts it runs beautifully and it starts with easy start first time...can it still be the injectors? I'm not so sure. I must add that after all these years driving all sorts it's the best car I've ever had...lovely and smooth and that engine is practically silent and 50mpg on the motorway just magic! |

Yes sure enough...two injectors faulty, 4 days of testing, re-newing and £799.02p later the car seems to be running fine. I hope that's the end of it.

Can anyone recommend where you can purchase the injectors other than Volvo i.e. Bosch distributor?
I have the same problem on my D5 S60 and have been quoted by Volvo €2000.00 to replace all the injectors. I'm sure that if you were to source the injectors and then find a mechanic to replace it should be a lot cheaper? I was told however that Volvo have a special tool to remove the injector, does anyone know if this is the case? Thanks |

The injectors are about £220 each and take 1.8 hours to change 5 which i work out at about £1600 inc VAT and labour at £80 an hour You wont need all 5 injectors , one or two at the most i would say .. Volvo DO sell them singly complete with injector pipe and mounting bracket which MUST be changed with the injector ... Why are they changing all 5 ? Volvo injectors are graded 1 2 and 3 stamped in a circle on top of your injector and they must be replaced by the same grade unless all 5 are changed then the cars ECU must be adjusted if the grade is changed . Using general BOSCH ungraded ones will cause you grief it has been talked about many times here before . There are TWO special tools for removing the injectors but only if they are stuck which isnt likely unless the original mounting kit or copper seal washer have been re-used !

I recently posted that I have changed just one injector for an ungraded Bosch aftermarket injector and it worked fine.
Based on info gleaned from this forum I suspected it would give me some problems and fully expected to have to take the Bosch one out and fit a Volvo grade 2 injector - however, it went in fine, worked perfectly and the starting problem has dissapeared. I understand all the technical reasons why you "should" stick the with the correct graded Volvo injectors, but I wanted to find out for myself and at the time had a source of Bosch injectors at Bosch dealer prices. Maybe I was just lucky, or maybe the grading isn't quite as critical as we are led to believe.

52 Plate V70 Starting problem - Injector problem
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.
