V70 R Running Issues
Looking for some advice on some running issues I have with my 1999 V70 R at the moment.
A few weeks ago the car started running lumpy on tick over causing the car to cut out when coming to a stop at a junction or traffic lights, the car went to a local garage who said it was dirt in the throttle housing which they cleaned and car seemed ok again for a week before the issue returned. Car was taken back to the garage and the car was plugged back into the diagnostic but the car had stopped letting them scan for faults and wouldn’t communicate at all. They tried cleaning the throttle housing again but didn`t make any difference.
The issue seems to come and go at the moment as the car will run lumpy and die when first started from either cold or warm, but if I turn the ignition off and restart it a couple of times it will run fine all the way to work or just start being lumpy again after only a few minutes.
If you’re still with me after my waffle, I guess I’m asking if anyone has any advice for me on what the issues could be or could point me in the direction of an independent Volvo specialist in the North East as i don’t fancy paying dealer prices after speaking to them about a previous issue and the said they would need to contact a museum for info on my car as it so old lol
