Won't start without help V70-XC70 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be Doug MacDonald on  Sat Mar 18 15:00 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Good day

I am having trouble starting my Volvo. It was running fine this morning, but when I turned it off to fuel up, it wouldn't start again. All I could hear was what I would describe as the click-click-click of a solenoid.

Got a boost from a kind gentlemen, drove around for a bit to recharge, but when I got home it wouldn't start again.

The car is seemingly running fine, in fact I have driven it around for hours, but needs a boost to start - every time!

I put a multi-meter on the battery and (after scrapping some gunk off of the terminal tops) got a reading of 12V and with the engine running I get about 12.9V. I have also checked and topped up the distilled water levels in the battery.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Doug
