2000 V70 T5 cold start issue
 

Hi there,
new to this forum but not to Volvo's.I have a V70 T5 se 2000 model year classis shape.Fantastic car in all ways apart from a cold start issue.First start when cold is almost like it is overfueling.Hunting and smell of petrol from exhaust.After 15-20 seconds,it calms down and behaves fine.I can only describe it better as when you used to pull out the choke on a carburettered car when the engine was warm.Make sense?No management light on dash and no fault codes stored.Has been more noticeable with this cold weather.I am thinking temperature sensor possibly.Any ideas?:D

Hi,

I own a 99 t5. I think the gas smell is normal on first start up especially if it is cold. What do you mean by hunting? My car sometimes has jumpy idle for a bit on severe cold starts but the idle normalizes after a minute or so.

Hi, i have excactly the same problem with my 2001 T5, you described it perfectly. Have you had any luck finding the problem and or a solution. Thanks
