Guys

I have a v70 phase 1 on a W... over the last few weeks when i start her from cold the car smells really rich and splutters/wont accelerate for the first 50 metres.
I have put new plugs on but this has little if any effect any suggestions i have been told to clean the engine out with something called Wynnes!!!

ETM perhaps?

Thanks for that but being a bit of a thicky what is the ETM please???

[Mrsmopp]

Sadly my knowledge of ME7 T5's isn't really on the ball but the ETM's (Electronic Throttle Module) are a fairly common failure. Whether that would affact the starting I am not 100% sure

Anyone else got any ideas?
