I have a 2000 V40 with ~74K miles. At ~70K it developed a starting problem. If it is cold out it starts right up first thing in the morning. After driving around a bit, if I turn it off for more than 20 minutes I have to crank it for about 4 seconds for it to catch and run. Starting is hard first thing in the morning if it is warm out.

I've had the compression checked and had two different mechanics look at it. They can't find anything wrong. Plugs look fine, turbo looks fine. One guy cleaned the throttle body and that seemed to clear up the problem for a few days at most.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Phil

Cheap to replace can be bought in Halfords.
