Re: Tcm issues help me out

Re: 2003 XC70 2.5T AWD still white somke after Turbo rebuild

Re: Rough start every few starts but runs fine cold or hot

If waiting 15 seconds does the trick, your fuel pressure is bleeding off as the car sits. Waiting 15 seconds gives the fuel pump time to build the pressure back up.

The whine is the sound of thousands of air bubbles imploding. Each implosion creates a shock wave, the whine is the sum of all the shock waves.
