I've had my C70 for about a month .. and for the most part, I just love it. But a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that it would shudder and shake on a cold start (usually when I started it in the morning). I have the 2.4 LPT engine with the automatic transmission.

I took it to the dealership and the service manager said that the fuel injectors were "leaking down" and it was not safe to drive in that condition -- so now I'm waiting for new fuel injectors to be shipped from New Jersey. I'm not happy about this for a couple of reasons, mainly that I was driving a beautiful convertible with tons of gadgets and a great sound system (I opted for the Dolby pro-Logic), and now I'm driving a station wagon (a V50 T5) as a loaner. [:'(]The wagon isn't a bad car -- it's just not my convertible and doesn't have all the cool gadgets.

Now, since I've made a long story long -- I'll ask my question -- is this a common problem with this engine and/or this Volvo model? Or could this be an isolated incident?

 

It is not really a comon problem.
I think it was just bad luck with your car.
