S60 no start

Nov 22, 2006 1 Replies

Started my 2.0T S60 this evening (2002 auto), but it ran rough and died straight away, then no start. Its trying to catch but won't run. I noticed the brake pedal was very hard as the engine fired initially - much harder than normal, but I had noticed this getting worse over the last few days, although the engine has been fine. I'm thinking this sounds like a vacuum leak between engine and servo, but I'd welcome opinions. I'll look in the morning, but has anyone experienced this, or are there any stock faults that anyone is aware of? Mileage is just past 50,000, so I hope this isn't pre-programmed obsolescence :-)



Cheers

I doubt that the brake servo problem is causing your no start. But the brake booster (servo) is a very common failure on all P2 cars. You could try to disconnect (and plug) the big hose to the booster and see if it starts.
