The days after the unexpected engine damage I used to balance the time with the Volvo. I like to risk the car, the utility value was high and the satisfaction also. Penibel maintained I expected with everything, only not with an engine damage. The cause is unknown to me and the workshop, I also did not have to research for expensive money. What should come out with the damage picture oil in the cooling water / water in the oil, besides the realization that the repair expensive and difficult The balance after 50 months and approx. 110,000 km is actually anything but good. Only the repairs (so no maintenance, wear and tear etc.) added up to 3,400 euros, the engine damage at the end brought an additional value loss of some tsd. Euro. Even if I bought the V70 used with 110,000 km, I cannot accept this balance. Unfortunately it is also the case that other drivers of this series also have various defects – so my car is not an individual case. The engine problems with the 205 hp D5 are another chapter, which I am not really pleased with. Whether the new engines with 2litres/4 cylinders are better, more durable still has to be shown. The V70 was also driven for so long, because the purchase of a V90 was planned. However, with the presentation of the V90 it was quickly clear that the car is nothing for me. With the new strategy, Volvo has also explicitly formulated that only a few old customers will go. So be it. I log off as a V70 driver, I just bought an E-Class station wagon. The test drive was very convincing anyway, let’s see if there are fewer defects there. The next 2 years I have guarantee in the context of the so-called young stars, after that I see further. You continue to have fun and as few defects as possible with the Volvos, I look lying We still have two Volvos. It should stay that way. Greeting hail damage
