XC60 warm starting problem

gsteve · Nov 15th, 2017, 18:41

Hi all,
I have a 2011 XC60 D3 diesel SE. It has not had problems for the last 4 years since I bought it,except that the stop/start would stop but not restart again (more of a stop/stall ).

In the last few weeks the car has started to have re-start problems on the 5th+ start up(s) of the day, especially after a longish journey. It labours in the start and often needs a 2-3 attempts. The engine makes a whirling sound and obviously strains the battery. It is getting to the point when it will completely fail.

Has anybody else experienced this problem? or even better, solved it?

Many thanks in anticipation

How old is the battery, if its the original there is a good chance its on its last legs
