Strange one this. My T5 (auto) has been getting harder to start on hot days. The car itself is cold (as in hasn't been started for a few hours) and starter turns but engine doesn't want to start but then eventually limps into life. It will then start perfectly everytime after that. I have had a new battery and starter motor but it makes no difference. My mechanic has suggested it could be a fuel pump problem, as I have also noticed a smell of fuel when this happens recently. Any ideas on this. I see there is a recall in the US for fuel pumps on 01 S60's but Volvo UK say there is no such recall in the UK. Any ideas? By the way, I park my car on a driveway which is sloping down towards my house. It hasn't been a problem exclusively on my drive, but that it where it has happened most of the time. Get your thinking caps on boys!
