hello
Chris... do you have a 1.9TD greenbook? im getting one from volvo but still waiting on a reply from them.

Sharon's car starts but stalls after a few seconds. need a greenbook to properly diagnose!

interesting - same block as a B172. Ive got spare block

I don't think so mate, the one that has the D16 in is the B172 300 book... well, the cam belt swap is listed for both in that book anyway. I won't say I havn't, as I came across a few more the other day that I had forgotten about, but I don't think there were any 400 ones.

One slightly off-the-wall thing to check is that it isn't the immobiliser playing up. Many will create this exact effect - the car will start, then stall after a few moments, to make a thief think the car is broken. I know 940s do this.

cheers

hello

thanks for the info guys!

The 440 doesnt have an immobiliser as there is no warning light on the dash and no remote central locking. the diesels tend to be quite low spec and mine doesnt even have tinted windows!

Im getting the car towed to my friends garage where we can do some more thorough testing and get out the rain!! its rained since sunday all the time!!! Grrrrr

not sure if people interested but I'll psot here and on the VOC how it goes...
