2003 S80 D5 Not starting, any ideas?

Post by hrhvolvo »

Hi all I'm new to the forum but a long time Volvo driver and lover!! I recently bought a non starting 03 S80 D5, I'm wondering has anyone else experienced a non starting S80? I got the car so cheap I simply couldn't refuse it. The story goes, apparently a diagnostics test shows flywheel fault however after purchase i have discovered a little history. The car has been to quite a few specialists including diesel injector specialists and no one can get the car to start. Has anyone had a d5 not starting and discovered the fault. I'm in no hurry to get the car on the road as it will be a replacement taxi for my 406 which is still PSV'd till next April. As I'm not a french car fan I would be happy getting the Volvo on the road sooner but at least I have a bit of time. My experience however shows that when something seems so major and no one can solve it is when it turns out to be fairly simple. Any help or ideas would be so much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
