XC70 diesel injection issue
Summary of the thread
A 2006 Volvo XC70 diesel is experiencing increased fuel consumption, reduced engine power, stalling when idling, and smoke during acceleration, suggesting a potential issue with the injection system. A similar problem in another vehicle was caused by a faulty connection in the injection system's wiring, leading to intermittent signals and improper fuel mixture. The suggested solution is to inspect the connections in the injection system, which, in this case, revealed a defective cable that was repaired.

Thanks for the reply. I suspected the injection system because a mechanic mentioned it could be a possibility based on the symptoms. Could you elaborate on the 'faulty connection' you mentioned? Where exactly was the problem?

Certainly! On my Peugeot, the cable or plug connection of the component was defective. It was causing intermittent signals and messing with the fuel mixture. It's worth having someone check the connections in your Volvo's injection system. Given the symptoms, it might be best to get it checked at a workshop.

Thanks. I had a mechanic check it out. Turns out it was indeed a defective cable. The repair cost 95€. Appreciate the advice!

Oh dear, that sounds concerning! I had similar symptoms with my old Peugeot – though it was a petrol engine, not diesel. It turned out to be a faulty connection in the injection system's wiring. How confident are you that it is the injection system and not something else?
