Re: Potential Starting Problems. S40-V40 2001

Hi Joe,

Yes, I noticed this too. I have the same car, with almost the same mileage and I have it for about 6 months. (coincidence?)

I did not go to the dealer with this because the problem is not easily reproduced. As you said, it only happened few times, same story on my side. I also noticed that in my case, it only happens during the times when the humidity is high (rain, fog, etc.) and when the engine is cold. I blame it on the high water vapour content in the air system at the start up. On any other occasion the car starts immediately, so I am not too concerned. I would like to know though, if others have similar problems, and if anyone actually tried to do something about it.

Cheers

Christopher
