Thanks for that Paul!! Paul.......#4833 ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Salsbury To: doc-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, March 30, 2003 10:25 PM Subject: Re: [doc] Re: Accumulator!!!! I would have though so, it's a regular Bosch part No. 0-438-170-029, a good motor factors should be able to get it for you, or you could try a Volvo dealer for a Volvo 760 with a B28E engine and get them to check that partnumber, don't know the price. Or you could try Dave Howarth, you'll be surprised at the parts he has, IMHO that I go to him first for the really obscure bits and normally he has them.. :-) Cheers Paul #6463 http://www.paul.salsbury.btinternet.co.uk ----- Original Message ----- From: MusicMakers To: doc-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, March 30, 2003 10:16 PM Subject: Re: [doc] Re: Accumulator!!!!

You must remember that once you turn off the engine will continue to heat up for a while as there is no coolant flowing around. So if you start after 2/3 mins , no worries after 10 -15 mins it's hotter and that's when the hot start problem occurs, then as it cools you will be able to start again. The fuel accumulator is not that hard to get to as long as you can get under the car to work, If all goes well it should take no more than an hour to swap Cheers Paul #6463 http://www.paul.salsbury.btinternet.co.uk ----- Original Message ----- From: MusicMakers To: doc-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, March 30, 2003 10:08 PM Subject: Re: [doc] Re: Accumulator!!!! Not really sure myself Stuart, I will have to do a little more research, sounds like yours could be just the relay, mine just refuses to start fullstop (when hot) I have to wait till she cools down, I think i will be going for the Accumulator!!

Looks like the accumulator is pretty hard to get to. Could it be a problem with the hot start relay - is it worth trying a new relay (without the momentary switch) first as its cheaper? My car iis fine if I switch it off then start it again in a few minutes but if I leave it for 20 mins or so then it's nearly impossible to start. I was parked on a street in Cambridge on Saturday with everyone looking at the car and it refused to start- very embarresing!

Internally fuse protected for safety. This little device will force the cold start valve to inject some gas every time you start the car, hot or cold. If you have a chronic problem, then try replacing the fuel accumulator to solve the problem!! > See Attachments!! > Thanks Paul > Vin 4833 > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: saalexander2000 > To: doc-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Sunday, March 30, 2003 3:33 PM > Subject: [doc] Re: Accumulator!!!! > > > I'm also having hot starting problems and it's driving me crazy! > What is a fuel accumulator?
