C30 flick start problems

MarkT5 · Nov 17th, 2014, 18:30

Hi folks.

My c30 T5 has flick start and it stopped working yesterday. Now about a year ago it stopped working and when I tried the spare key it worked again. Now I have two keys which won't work the flick start. I'm wondering wether the batteries need changing in the keys. It's a 2007 model.

Any help would be brilliant. I love the flick start and use it each time I start it, so I want it to work.

Please help.

Flick start??

Maybe a fob option to start??

Or the preheat option for starting the car on the driveway before you get in it??

Volvo call it autostart, you just flick the key to the starter position and let go the car just starts. I like it too

I'm going to have to try that tomorrow when I go to work

Is it petrol and deisel options it works on?

Hi mark,
did you sort out your flick start issue? I just had my car serviced and it has somehow stopped the autostart feature.
Look forward to your response and have a great Christmas.

My problem with autostart function appears on 2011 Volvo V50 D2 1.6 after I changed a battery.
Has anyone found a solution?

I have still not fixed my Autostart problem on V50 2011 D2. I have checked the fuses, they are fine. Can it be the Starter Relay (R13) in the engine compartment fuse-box?
Are there any manuals with explanations?

Has anyone tried to somehow reset that through VIDA? I tried to do the soft reset by connecting the poles of the battery, and I replaced both switches under the clutch pedal....but I didn't check to see if there is something to do via VIDA? I also can't get it to start for 2 years on my v50 D2...and I remember the moment it stopped working, a friend of mine plugged his scan tool, checked for some errors, cleared them, and I remember he turned the key and held it in a traditional way to start the engine, and theres no autostart ever since...
