XC 60 T6-Doesn't start as quick

Post by Tiny Tim 077 »

Hi all

So I just sold my XC 90 and bought an 2009 XC60 T6 with 200 000km (about 125 000 miles). I have had it for a few days now and it goes beautifully. One issue is that when I start the car it does not start as quick. It turns over a few more times before it takes. It is not every start but sometimes. Also does not happen at a specific time ie: after long drive, short drive, cold or hot.

At certain starts it almost takes on the second turn then doesn't and turns over for a long time and then takes. Once running, no problems, misses, jerking etc.

Any ideas?

Thanks everyone.

Normal most likely but a recording of it starting would let us give a good answer.

That vehicle has autostart so you are not controlling how long starter runs. It is disengaged when engine reaches 460 RPM or some target thereabout. If you had control you may release key and the stater would stop sooner and cranking time would be lower.
