Car Forum / Volvo Cars / December 2004V70 engine fails to start
My '00 V70 won't start. When turning on the ignition to position III, (all the lights on the front panel turns on as normal when reaching position II), the start engine just refuses to start. Instead there is a loud "click" from the engine. The battery voltage is measured to 9.7 V, but I can't seem to recharge it any further (My recharger indicates the battery is at full capacity). Battery needs replacing, or should I consider anything else? Hein Classic dead battery symptoms... Time for a new one. PS > My '00 V70 won't start.

The '67,'74,'79,'87,'95 and '02 through European Delivery. http://home.earthlink.net/~rhodyman/volvo.html Shouldn't voltage be 12-13V? Anything less than 12 will suggest a dead battery. > My '00 V70 won't start.

The loud "click" will be the starter relay energising - there's probably just enough in the battery to do that and not much else! J. I fear you must either replace the entire engine... or the battery. Check battery first before replacing engine. > My '00 V70 won't start.
