"Warning for D5 drivers."
Go easy on me, I'm new here!
My V70 D5 is now approaching 22 months old and 58,000 miles.
Starting from cold was becoming harder, thought I would flag this up at the 60K service.
Next thing it would'nt start at all from cold. Was advised by main dealer to use easy start, this worked and got me home.
Car taken to dealers and had to have new diesel injectors, luckily car just still under warranty as it would have cost the best part of £2000 to repair!!!!!
So if anyone's D5 is just a bit reluctant to start get the bloody thing in pronto before the warranty runs out.
The service manager let on that this is a known problem.
I wonder who would have paid at 70,000 miles?
