hOW MANY MILES HAS YOUR DIESEL ENGINE DONE??

[carl325]

Hi,
Just thinking maybe it would be good to se how many miles these Volvo's can do,if you post your miles,model,and age of car and any probs you've had we could get a really good thread on the go.

See who's got the highest mileage!



Mine's on 95k on a 51 plate

Hi! I've got 2 of them!

Hi! I've got 2 of them!

V70 TDI 1998 - 183000

V70 TDI 1997 - 257000 :car:

We have two TDI's in our family.

1999 - 150k

1997- 123k

Zackery, im from Crawley too! What colour(s) are your V70s, i may have seen you or visa versa.

Have you see the sonic blue 1999 V70R around? :)

[steadvex]

2005 s60 d5 113k

although before this i had a vectra sold with 186k on it, original timing chain :) (had no issues with it until i fitted one of those dodgy tuning chips*still bitter*, would still have it now if i twasn't for that, but then i wouldn't of had such a fab car now ;)

before that a cavlier with 174k on , sold it to a friend who scrapped it at 195k :(

i'm hoping this car will last a long time based on the fact i'm hoping volvo make better engines than vauxhall!

[carl325]

I'm hoping Volvo make a better engine than VW as the last two mk4 golf diesels i've had have been rubbish to be perfectly honest!

Hope my V40 fairs better,still with 95k it's only a baby!



Keep the mileages coming people

[Chris Parish]

My S80 D5 2002 (owned for about 6mths) has done 135K and the engine is A1. I do worry sometimes about an injector problem I've heard about on engines made in about 2002, but, touch wood, no problems so far.

My V40 1.9D has 73K on it. Still very new in comparison to some but I suspect the flywheel is on it's way as it screeches at me in the mornings and rattles when I turn it off! Great car otherwise and hope it lasts a long time.

[nobbynormal]

My 1999 V40 D must have done nearly a thousand miles over Easter but all together it's done 150,000. On the long Easter drive the MPG worked out at 68 MPG i don't know if that's possible? http://www.torquecars.com/tools/uk-mpg-calculator.php

Hi, this is my first post, I find all your comments very interesting. I am intrested in buying a 1 to 2 year old S80 D5 auto and would appreciate some feedback from you experienced bloggers!
I'm interested in opting out of a company car scheme, I currently have a 2 year old diesel Honda CRV This is a company car, the lease is up in Dec the car will have done 75k, I do 37k a year. Although it is very practical, I find the build quality very poor when comparing it to two S60 D5's I've had in the past. Both were company cars 164bhp S model, and over the 2 years I had each of them covered 70k/75k before going back. I didn't get a squeak or rattle out of each of the S60's the Honda has numerous problems..
I plan to opt out of my company scheme, take a lump sum in my salary and save the company car tax. I prefer the NEW S80, as the S60 was a little small for the kids in the back and the boot was a little small.
I've done all my sums, and think I would be quid's in if a bought a S80 for around 13k. I would probably run it for 3 years, put intergalactic mileage on it,180k (have an extend warranty) but make some good money in the process. Any one any Ideas how many miles this car should be good for? or am I mad!!!
Are they really as bullet proof as I think?
Thanks in anticipation for any feedback.

02 s60 d5 210.000 miles
replaced turbo due to low quality oil used once, air-con compressor and alternator clutch pulley. It will need new rear springs and shock absorbers and to identify where does it the whoosh is coming from when I press the throttle. Quite difficult to spot because there is no black smoke and only on the run, when standing quite difficult to identify.

Thinking to upgrade it to a newer d5 s60 or s80, but heard that the fuel consumption is 20% worse, so I will keep the car till is gone die :P.

I have just bought 2003 V70 diesel auto with 230,400 miles. seems to run OK only renewed discs and pads, Starts fine and and really wonder how many miles these D5 engines can do.

[XC90Diesel]

Had fuel injector problem :( at aroun 60K miles; had two replaced by a local diesel injection specialist (Doctor Diesel, Oswestry)... cost about £650, main dealer wanted >£1K, plus they were rude.

Had adjustable steering column lock break at 4yrs of age, so steering telescoped in and out whilst driving, made for an interesting experience (and must have looked a little strange), net result was around £600 of expense, Volvo foot half the bill.

Had discs changed and new pads at about 65K miles by main dealer, shortly thereafter one of back brakes seized. Took it to local Volvo specialist and the drum mechanism had been punctured and had then corroded (strange it was only a few months after main dealer had 'renewed all necessary components and changed hydraulic fluid'). I believe the brake inside the handbrake drum had separated. The fuel economy was down, there was a build up of brake dust all over the wheel and you could smell burning! I don't think the wheel had completely seized. There is more written on this subject elsewhere on this forum.

Fuel economy around 46mpg (manual), mixed driving

[chrhome]

160,000 miles just came up and still starts and runs perfect.
Replaced discs and pads and a handbrake caliper recently.
Also got timing belt done. Second time in its lifespan.
Expecting another 100K out of it anyway....

[v70classic]

My v70 yr 2000 2.5 diesel has 183,000 and climing by about 3k to 4k a month

Now then, have a '51 plate D5 chipped tp 200 bhp, just passed 171,500, first real problem is the Split in Intercooler feed pipe from Air Intake. Oh the tensioner on the back of the Alternator went at around 160,000-was £160 replacement. But apart from that awesome Svensk Engineering !! I drive 1250 miles per week, up and down the A1, sits at 80 ish, usually get 40-45 mpg, you really cannot fault it with this level of comfort and reliabilty-Cheeooors

Hi All,

Just got rid of my March 2008 C70 D5 Rica remapped with 54k on it. No problems at all.

Just bought Sept 2009 S80 D5 SE Premium with R-Design kit (planning to remap it soon) with 43k on it. I actually now think about places i can drive even when i'm not driving for work :)

[spee]

S60 D5 SE 03 Plate - 115800 miles.

I've done about 9k in 8 months, but I haven't been lucky!

Rear drivers side brake failure a month after buying, cost £300 plus to rectify, second hand hub, new brake internals, new discs and pads (both sides)

THEN, Rear left hand caliper started binding, burnt the paint off my lovely new Volvo brake disc and needed a new caliper and pads (PAds both sides) - £180 ish

THEN! Two injectors failed along with my in tank pump, £900 later it's sorted other than it needs to pop back into the garage as one of the changed injectors is puffing (blowing past the sealing washer).

I've also changed the headlight wipers!

So, not a good start to Volvo ownership if I'm honest, I've NEVER had to spend so much on a car! It would have cost half as much if I had the time to fix myself, but I work away so it has to get done in the specialists.

Still, with that lot done, I'm expecting at least 100k without anymore big bills! (I know!)

Superb car when its well though, puffing injector aside, it's running well now, very strong performance and very refined.

I won't buy a diesel again though, the cost of injectors, pumps, filters etc far outweighs the benefits of the (frankly amazing on the D5 S60) fuel economy.

If you do a lot of mileage however, I doubt there is a better equipped, quality vehicle for the money.

However, if I do replace this car, a T5 or R is on my shopping list.

'97 V70 tdi Auto - just passed 195k this week and running smoothly and without smoking or burning oil.

I have an S80 D5 2005 that has 147,000+ miles on it , great car, but its cost me a few quid in the 8 odd months I have had it, new front wishbones,front and rear droplinks,front balljoints,new front struts(truely horrendious as I have 4C suspension), new disks and pads all round, still got a few annoying rattles when I go over speed bumps, but the engine and manual gearbox are terrific, on a run the computer says mid fifties,all in all a decent enough car, Just out of curiosisty, does anyone know of a good local volvo mechanic that might help me diagnose the annoying rattles, I stay in Ayr about 30 miles south of Glasgow

2003 V40 1.9D SE 115, just coming up to 123,000.

1999 v70tdi 148,000 miles - just bought recently - few tiny niggles but previous owner loved the main dealer and spent his money like water! Fixed remote locking(made 1 good fob from the 2 duffers), replaced antenna ring due to occasional non-starts, and car booked in for timing/injector pump belts and a brief service. Goes well, stops well, rattles a lot less than a mates audi s3 08 reg! Love the car - had 850 2.5 petrol before, 195,000 miles, good solid motor but thirstier than George Best....
Superb amount of car for 600 quid - I ain't going back!

We got our 52 plate D5 S60 4 1/2yrs ago with 61k on it. dash packed up on it at 14mths and 148k, the wife does over 60k per year so we are well over 300k and appart from the dash and brakes,all I do is service it every 6k ish, timing belt once a year and a new set of michelin pilot primacys every 4 mths or so.
All in all the best car ive ever had for reliability, We are sadly looking to replace it with an Alfa Brera(her choice!) so we will not be courting reliability for much longer!
The old S60 will be staying as a spare as its basically worthless.:thumbs_up:

it's not a Volvo but a few years ago my Dad asked me to put his Merc horse transporter on eBay for him but kept avoiding answering when i asked him for the mileage. In the end i had to go round and see for myself; no wonder really when i saw it had over half a million miles on the clock.

A 53 plate V40 sportlux diesel 700 miles short of 140000. Surprised me how nippy it is as well. Just had the cam belt done as well and it looked like the original. Bought it just after christmas and am loving it.:car-smiley-003:

Bought in 2002 at 79k, now at 169k, mostly motorway.
Work done on it so far over the 9 years I've had it:

- EGR pipe
- Cam + Aux belt
- PAS pump
- All pulleys
- Gear linkage bushes

The alternator bearing is gone now so need to a rebuild. And need to think about ALL gaskets as there's a small but steady oil leak
Apart from that, nothing else mechanically wrong. Strong as a tank. Worked out 40 - 41mpg!

[60041]

I saw my old 1996 P V40 1.9TD sitting at the dealers last year with 190,000 on the clock. I traded it in at 6 years old with about 60,000, and 8 years later they were trying to sell it for only £1500 less than they gave me!

So far, up to just over 257,000 miles on a '96 855 TDI. The last 30,000 or so have been done on waste vegetable oil with a two-tank conversion.

It has lost some power over the last year (not so much that it can't pull a big trailer, but noticeably less spritely) so will be starting a thread to help diagnose!

I have commented this before, but I haven't seen any Volvo's reaching high miles on veggie oil.

If it does 227,000 OK on diesel and starts losing power after 30,000 on veggie oil that tells you something I think.

[wingz123]

201k and running good at the moment.....can't fault it (touch wood)

Volvo V40 2002 1.9D

sawwweeeet!

[davew993]

160,000 mile on my XC90 and all running well still.

[Biotoxic]

I have done 7845 miles since rebuild( total miles is about 259000) car has a new life in it... now I can even overtake a car in 5th gear going uphill. Once the turbo spools up it takes about 3-4 seconds from 45-65 mph.. nice :)

[jpliddy]

1990 2.4 TD (The converted pick-up...513,804, currently being repaired as cam shaft broken)

volvolimoman do you know what caused camshaft to break , was it vacum pump push rod . how often is oil changed

[kebab10]

I have a 2005 V50 2.0 D and its on 115845 at the moment.

[cheapskate2003]

2005 S60 D5 SE on 132k currently, I bought it on a 100k 3 years ago but now im doing 20k p/a so its going to go up again. If it doesnt get used daily it isnt as smooth so clearly it likes being used!

[blackbox]

Hi s40 1.6d 05 113000 miles just run in

[HARLOU]

:ani_heart:My v70 tdi 1998 has just past 170,000 ,i change oil and filter every 5000 miles

[jim30]

Just bought a c70 d5 geartronic on a 57 plate it has 100,061 on the clock, 3 days after has gone back in for a new gearbox luckily under warranty, but otherwise the engine feels really strong, unfortunate for the gearbox but am pleased with the way it drives. 5 years ago i had a v70 2.5t r plate with 128.000 miles and also was a great car.


I want my car back now!!

[weble]

Cheating slightly, but my old Lorry at work, was a 2003 Volvo FM12 340

Had 1,700,000 KM on the clock that was still on its first Engine.

Only got rid of it because of it's age, gone to Africa i think with the rest of em!

My Sierra TD has to the best of my knowlege 312,000 miles. Headgasket done at 248,000.

[isleaiw]

My 2007 S60 2.4D S has just reached the run in milestone, 100,030 now showing. Had it for 2 yrs and 1 month, taken the mileage from 30k in that time. Apart from routine servicing, it has had a new wheel (my fault!), a new alarm siren, a replacement hose after a minor water leak, and some brake pads and discs. I'm reckoning that it should be good for another couple of years yet!

Ian

[foggyjames]

My 2005 V70 D5 (Euro III / 163bhp) has done just over 210k, and you'd never know. Fingers crossed this continues to rise rapidly without any trouble!

cheers

James

[thePM]

Have just reached 120k miles. Full Volvo service, no breakdowns but usual repair items over the years:

New turbo hoses
Replaced inter cooler
Replace 1 injector due to uneven tickover
AWD spline connection to rear wheels.

Also suspension bushes, 1 rear shock and 1 rear wheel bearing.

[kenny37]

I feel at a loss as my v70 D5 2006 has only done 106k, does that mean its only just run in?

2005 V50 2.0D SE now with 161,000 on it - think the FSH has helped and still going strong!

[inglegrump]

Hi,
Just thinking maybe it would be good to se how many miles these Volvo's can do,if you post your miles,model,and age of car and any probs you've had we could get a really good thread on the go.

See who's got the highest mileage!



Mine's on 95k on a 51 plate
My 2004 V70 D5 Auto is currently at 279,000 miles - had it from new. So far apart from consumables, brakes and 3 timing belts I've only had to spend money on a crankshaft oil seal and front suspension bushes. Still average 45 - 50mpg, usually well loaded. Transmission good as gold and still all the power it ever had.

[Thom12]

Got a 2008 S40, hit the 99000 miles mark today. Had to put in an EGR Valve and a few Software Upgrades.

Cheers

[dkhilton]

Hi, I Have a '97 V70 TDi. Currently at 280,121 Miles. Some starting issus, but runs fine once it's going.

[Bebo]

52 plate D5 160 bhp Auto 190k.
In for repair, Last week the trany oil leaked out of the rusted oil cooler tube.

[Michael888]

I'm hoping Volvo make a better engine than VW as the last two mk4 golf diesels i've had have been rubbish to be perfectly honest!

Hope my V40 fairs better,still with 95k it's only a baby!



Keep the mileages coming people

I know your post was from a looooong time ago but you must have been VERY unlucky, we have three mk4 1.9TDI Golf diesels in our family that have covered 132,000 (51), 165,000 (51 - mine) and 187,000 (02), we also have a Seat Toledo with the same engine that's covered 112,000 (51) and not one of them have caused any problems whatsoever.

However I recently purchased a V70 2.5D with 162,000 on the clock, the owner proudly told me that it would eat my Golf for breakfast but I have to say its been a disappointment, so much so that I kept my Golf (thank God!) and have now listed the V70 on eBay, it honestly feels like I'm driving a hearse around!

So if anyone's interested in a cheap V70 diesel have a look http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120821745412?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_2793wt_1344

Apologies if there's another section that I should put the link into

Edit:- I just read my post back and I have to say that I do hope that I haven't oversold it there :)

[longyear]

My (02) V70 D5 SE has 218k and is the sweetest running car I've ever owned.

Had a new drop link along with oil / oil filter / fuel filter change at the garage today, and driving it home, it literally feels like a 50k car again!

[a61284]

hope for many more!

[barking mat]

Two LHD 940 Estates D24
353,000 Kms, runs sweet
540,000 Kms, uses a bit of oil........

353 cost 300 euros immaculate condition, 540 little bit scruffy but straight through its MOT, 353 Friday afternoon MOT.

[Lancee]

Kastners of Exeter are driving around a silver V70 D5 emblazoned on the side with "5 years old, 310,000 miles still averaging 50mpg".
Mind you I suppose it might be like Triggers roadsweeping broom, "had it for years, only ever changed the head and the handle"!

Mine's on 95k on a 51 plate

Hi we have an 04 v50 with 86k no probs yet crossed.

[johnipitman]

I've had 4 volvos since 1979.

1st was a 240 estate petrol -198000 miles.
2nd was a 240 diesel -220000 miles -sold as a hay transporter on a farm (off-road.
3rd was a 740 diesel -cylinder head gasket went at 187,000, and big-end at 235000 miles.
4th is a 850 tdi, red manual diesel, currently being offered for sale/parts on this site since yesterday - 220,000 mile.

Seems as if the ones I've had - all Volvo serviced - become too expensive and rusty beyond about 220000 miles!

[RoyMacDonald]

There are some really high milers in the High Milage Club on the Volvo Owners Club pages. To see the cars select a menu in the top left corner on this page.....http://www.volvoclub.org.uk/hmc/hmc_faq.shtml

Here is the top of the Unofficial list....

1 Irv Gordon USA New York 1800S 1966 2,920,000
2 S. E. Mäkinen Finland 245 GL Diesel 1979 1,628,780
3 Brett Sutherland Canada 122S 1965 1,565,471
2852 Jerry Morris USA 142S 1968 1,269,122
2271 Ellen Crist USA 244DL 1979 1,098,000

[johnipitman]

I've had four so far since 1978, and am now on the 5th! All have had manual boxes. All bought second-hand with between 40 and 68K on the clock - i.e just run in!

1. 245 estate Petrol 213,000 miles - death due to rust!
2. 245 estate diesel 198,000 miles - sold on as an off-road hay carrier on a farm
3. 740 estate Diesel 238,000 odd miles - never right after a cylinder gasket failed at about 188,000 miles, then terminal big-end failure at about 238,000 miles
4. 850 tdi estate - still going at 220,000 miles, although the bodywork/suspension need fixing - currently on this site for repair/spares
.
My current one is a V70 D5.

[GazT4]

153,000 miles on 2005 V50 2.0D Sport. Going strong so far (Only bought recently with FSH)

[damrabbit]

just bought 1st volvo diesel its a 850 tdi 100,000 on the clock fsh so hoping it will last a long time to come :thumbs_up:

[weedeno belfast]

1999 v70 tdi 200k

[Blue693]

Have a D5 S60 2003 with 195,000 miles - no problem!

[foggyjames]

Mine rolled over 225k last week.

Since the last update (210k) it had a second-hand turbo (£150, plus 2 evenings to fit) at 217k after the original (I presume - nothing in the history to say it's had one before) failed spectacularly, both pneumatic engine mounts (~£170) at 224k, and I finally got around to replacing the clutch master cylinder which has been weeping since I bought it (into the interior, causing the position switch to fail, and the cruise to refuse to work!).

I've never been that happy with the idle quality, and since I bought my VIDA/DICE rig, I've been using the injector diagnostics to keep an eye on that. All bar one of mine are out of spec (±3mm^3, IIRC), but one is much worse than the others. I'm going to perform a leak-off test ASAP, and then refer it to a diesel specialist if the results are nasty.

So, it has given me a few bills in the past few months, and if I need an injector (or two) that won't be cheap, but each bill so far has been less than that month's fuel saving, and there is still a significant overall saving...plus, when it's done, it's done. The other saving grace is that lower mileage cars seem no better behaved - the D5s just aren't as "robust" as their petrol cousins. It's still worth it (and by a big margin) for a high mileage user.

cheers

[shoehorn]

Hi,
First post ex merc man now into volvos,
2005 v70 d5 se now done 176000 miles but runs like its done 50000
really smooth and powerfull.
Had 2 problems up to now 1 faulty injector and alternator clutch failure causing the auxillary belt to vibrate on tickover,
Still love the car

[Laney760]

Since I last posted on here my D24Tic has clocked up another 22 thou, now on 117,000, hasn't skipped a beat, all I've done is change the full synth oil every 6 months along with oil and fuel filters (and air filter occasionally)

[ewanc0]

Just bought a 99 S80 D with 203,000 and FSH

[Jimmy480]

Picked up my PII V70 2.5D last week with 186,000 miles on it and it drives beautifully.

Done about 500 miles in it so far and it feels very tight and together. Having said that, moving from a tired 1998 Fiat Cinquecento, anything is likely to feel tight, together and comfortable!

I wasn't expecting it, but it makes a very nice noise too :)

[anaml2]

2003 (53) v70 d5 with 300 thousand miles, ive just stripped and cleaned the turbo now drives pefect.

[gjd]

Hello

181 000 miles and counting.

Just replaced some noisy pulleys. Got the vacuum pump chatter. Otherwise all well!

[gjd]

I'm hoping Volvo make a better engine than VW as the last two mk4 golf diesels i've had have been rubbish to be perfectly honest!

Hope my V40 fairs better,still with 95k it's only a baby!



Keep the mileages coming people
Hello

Buried in this long thread may already be an answer to this.....

When my garage changed the crankshaft pulley, they let me peek inside the engine. There we saw the VW symbol! Although I thought my V70 had an Audi engine, rebuilt by Volvo, the mechanic said it's identical to the 2.5l TDi on the VW Transporters he services for a local business. There are 5 vans, all on 300k+!

[marcon]

2008 V50 2.0D. 124200 Miles - 207000K. Will have to do timing belt before 240000K. Anyone done this themselves yet? I am told there is a belt and chain.

Hi, finally got round to register here and wanted to ask if anybody bettered this mileage with a single Audi engine...

http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/6550/imgp2532p.jpg

I bought this '98 V70 in July on ebay with 726k and it's up to 732k miles by now, being driven at least 82 miles every day. And pretty swiftly as well, I'm constantly late for something.

Might do an introductory thread later, if anybody wants to see fairly standard oil burner that is on her 2nd return trip from the moon...

WOW - that's quite impressive.

Mine at about 180,000 is a pup by comparison.

[IanM71]

2002 V70 D5 with 124000 on it, loosening up nicely now...

[tim030654]

In the last few weeks I swapped my 1989 petrol Volvo 740 GL estate (246,000 miles) for a 2004 V40 1.9d SE (115 bhp) with a mere 112,000 that I have now taken to 114,000 - and I hope that I can at least double that.

We also have a 1998 VW Golf 1.9 TDi (owned from new) that has now done 253,000 miles.

[Darlo 1]

V40 1.9d 115 bhp Sport Lux 174200 miles, uses no oil or water, still on origional clutch and turbo.

[subaqua]

not a Volvo but a former colleauges dad had a VW Passat Mk 1 from 1978( bought new) , in 2009 it had nearly 900K on the clock- original engine, filters and fluids changed every 6000 miles for the 1st 100K then every 10K. I lost contact with my colleague in late 2009 so dunno if it is still running.

[sculptor]

Back in the fold, just bought an '03 s40 1.9D 184,000 mls for 1,550 euro and a 2,5td auto merc estate, that I put 120,000 miles on in 3 years.
Going to miss that wonderful gearbox

[tom0311]

Just got a 54 plate S60 D5, the 163bhp engine. I came from a seat leon cupra r which was remapped, to a 3 litre alfa romeo gtv, then followed a campervan and now this. Definitely my favourite car of the lot. Bought it with 85k on the clock, and in a month I've got it to 89k. Sounds like at 89k she is just a baby which is what I was expecting.

One of my old rugby coaches had an 850 with 495,000 though, the only thing he had done was the gearbox apparently.

[Blitzp]

just picked up my first volvo yesterday. V70 S D5 - 178000Miles on the clock. cant belive how it runs, sounds or feels to drive.

[y2blade]

Just over 160k here (off the top of my head), running great :thumbs_up:

[chellastonian]

2002 V70 D5 238k. Still on original exhaust and clutch. Runs well, but DIM needs repair and intercooler beginning to weep.

[V70Zig]

1999 V70 tdi, 292350 miles, just passed MOT but it's old and tired like me !!!:clock:

[v70cd]

Just passed 210,000 on my 1998 V70 TDi....40k miles more to the Moon !!

[mickeyboy2007]

My 1996 850 estate TDI done 197000 miles.... Bought last september, I knew it needed some work, I Just changed gearbox after 5th gear shreadded on me, replaced both control arms, front wheel barings, outer cv joints... Then flew through MOT...Engine is still strong, think I have a niggle developing with either maf or exhaust sensor altering the power output occasionally, and there's a little too much oil in the turbo pipes for my liking, so looking to replace turbo too unless I find the oil is getting there some other way, not yet looked into. :)

[foggyjames]

My 2005 V70 D5 is having some injector issues at present...currently at 243k. In fairness, there are plenty of stories of injectors needing TLC at under 100k, so I'm not blaming that purely on age.

cheers

[EVOLVOLUTION]

Recently managed to get hold of a V70 P2 2.5 TDI--M/Y2000 quite reasonably priced,with a young and spritely mileage of only 116,000.

Hi, always had volvos over the last 40 years.
This one has been the best 54 plate with 25,000 miles,well done Renault diesel engines.

[bigdadda77]

Lol yes for all of us V40 owners it should be Renault we thank and not Volvo! (joke lol)

[bigdadda77]

1.9DS 2004 (115 BHP) 162,534 miles and once started runs without any issues. It is also an ex-police car so hasnt had an easy life which is reflected in the smoke stained ceiling and grubbiness of the interior, bloody coppers! too many mid morning bacon buttys and fags! why dont they go catch some bent coppers lol!

[Stephen 1968]

Untill I bought this car,I have always disliked french cars/engines,but this one performs well with non sainsbury diesel,Always use Esso diesel.
Never use Tesco diesel,knacked up a fuel pump on my last car £1800 to replace at Volvo,they recommended Esso.

S60 D5 SE 204500 miles on a 03 plate .... owned the car from new and not driven particularly carefully but full service history

Intercooler replaced

Altenator replaced

Number plate lighting loom failed....crap design as wire bends on boot hinge.

Exhaust cracked behind cat but repaired (welded) still on original exhaust

Several headlight bulbs...main beam is still less efficient than my wife's focus!

Engine system required message appears when revved over 2.5k but car never goes into limp mode.....same message now for a couple of years with no difference to performance.

Air con needs a refill....never done !

Average MPG as recorded on DIM 50.2mpg over the total mileage (never reset)

Engine has lost low end acceleration....not too surprising given age and mileage but sits all day at over the legal limit !

[micken]

And it's not a diesel....

True, and it's also the car not the engine and it's also not mine.

Just an interesting snippet really.

[BrianH]

Can I come in here too then?

Petrol, LPG since 155 000 miles.

said firmly tongue in cheek :p

Well I guess whilst I'm here, just coming up to 99,000 and nicely broken in :D

[micken]

Well I was at 80,000 and it broke. V70 D5 Oct 2002 (MY03) one owner (me). CSV went two weeks ago and it was due for cambelt + extras, IC was blowing and vac controlled mounts suspect.

I'm having the whole lot replaced including clutch and DMF and looking forward to another 10 years of ownership.

I've replaced one injector and the air charge hose. Other than that it's just cost the annual service.

Great to drive and an out and out load lugger.

140,563 miles :) service history up to 114K and then more or less everyting done by me.

no engine problems (apart from 1 over-run when i bought it, but that may have been the throttle getting stuck in the carpet)

in my ownership though:
new handbrake cable
rear calipers replaced
new lowering coil springs all round (osr coil snapped and thought- i'll just do the lot!)
refurb osf shock absorber
new anti-roll bushes front x2 (first set both snapped under light-ish cornering about 3 days after fitting)
and hopefully fit a new gearknob and HSL soon :D

[DanD24T]

I picked mine up for £300 in feb , has now clocked 246,000 and not a hint of the end, I met someone with an American import 740 with same engine as mine ( d24t ) and his had reached 863,000 and still going strong , can't wait to see how much more mine will do. It spent first 3 yr in Sweden then was imported to uk in 98, one owner from new, love it, my 10th Volvo now.

[A lex]

04 d5 163.

About to turn 170k miles.

Original inter cooler and original clutch.

From the piles of receipts and invoices its had nothing other than regular maintenance and a few wear and tear items.

Only failure in my tenure has been a rear caliper sticking. Have also done a scheduled cambelts change and a precautionary change of the handbrake shoes.

[steadvex]

168k 2005 s60 d5, just before christmas in the rains and floods got stuck in a lane and water killed it off :(

2 other cars also died with me that day, a 2 year old saab and a 10 year old merc, apparently the garage that has the car now said they had quite a few cars from that same lane.

05 V70 D5 on 123,000, bought it a month ago and so far I love it!! Cheap as chip from the auctions and with a full service history, cambelt done etc.

New rear shocks (£100, fitted) made it stop rattling and start cornering, upgrade on the handbrake shoe link (£18, easy DIY job) made the handbrake adjust and work, and best fix of all - a £10 bottle of Redex diesel additive made the turbo vanes stop sticking when you boot it up the motorway slip roads and the engine no longer goes into limp (or lame) mode, plus the engine pulls and runs like new.

Volvo forum rocks for getting answers - don't bother with Haynes Manual, most of the stuff you need to know isn't in it ....Now, about that alarm siren battery ....

[martin_r_smith]

187, 000. Just had water pump seize and shred belt but she survived! All replaced along with every other belt and tensioner I could find and we are rockin again.

Hi guys,
first message here on the board, German living in France, but married to an Irish, so I came across this forum, which is better than anything I could find in either France or Germany. You guys just seem to be the better DIYers.

Anyway, Volvo V40 1.9D (seems to be the Renault engine) 110K and it really starts falling apart :-(. I just repaired the electronics board with the knobs for heating and AC (well didn't repair, just resoldered the connections of the knobs).

The something broke in the indicator lever, but thanks to a post here I got it out and repaired that too, just a little thingy holding a spring.

And now, turbo blown :broken_heart:, the friendly person at the dealers said some words beginning with two and thousand, before I lost conscience.

So, the good old time, where the 740 would run forever are gone :-(

[junklunacy]

no issues until recently with the turbo loosing power at low revs, need to read some topics in the forum regarding the pipework and valves etc..

anyone have an electronic copy of the haynes manual for this model as I'm not clear on the turbine layout with the pipework etc?

[wild321]

203000 and smoking like a trooper nice black clouds .......don't follow me....

That's it run-in now.

V40 cc
216miles so far in just over a week.:thumbs_up:

[skyship007]

V40 1.9D with 215K km of serious driver abuse and horse box towing!

Oddly enough I think most diesel lube servicing should be based on engine hours rather than distance, as time at idle is bad news, but car manufacturers almost never bother to fit hours meters.

[Daza-B]

S60 D5 2002 180000 miles and still going strong, just done the timing belt so many miles to go :)

S40 D5 Auto 100,000 miles

[brickman]

1998 v70 2.5 TDI - 210000miles

Runs smooth as and no smoke! Just returned from a week in the highlands and islands, with a heavily loaded car, epic head winds and plenty of now, never skipped a beat and got just over 700 miles to the tank, about 45/46mpg which is outstanding imo

[platsy]

135k starts fine but seems to of lost its power. Going uphill is a nightmare. 80mph flat out, gunna have full service see if it helps. doing my head in

[vorticity]

Got 199300 on the clock - almost at the next milestone!!!!

[drasprey]

185k and still pulling like a train squeak and rattle free motoring from my S60 D5 Manual. 53 plate

[Shadeyman]

2004 XC90 D5 has done 170,000 and still going strong .. :thumbs_up:

Make sure to do a fuel filter, if that doesn't cure it, its something more involved.

[vanman263]

2003 v40 diesel done 193,000 miles still going strong !

[grumble]

Ive got a r plate v70
191000 and runs like new

[MickyG1982]

Not gonna win any mileage competition here but my 2000 2.5 tdi is approaching 141000 miles now... She starts first time, every time, does need a proper rag though, judging by the smoke that it throws out the exhaust when pushed...

You might find the new MOT emissions test interesting as they will rev the engine, so I would think about trying a can of Liqui Moly (Or BG etc) direct feed injection cleaner (It can be poured into the fuel filter) and a serious Sunday morning motorway trip just before that test. Also I hope you have not fiddled with the MAP, as that can cause black smoke when booted.

After completing "Stage 0", coolant system overhaul, vacuum system overhaul and blanking off about 80% of rad for winter,I just did a motorway/ A road trip at 60-65mph with two folk in the car and a boot full of junk - 56.8MPG*


*Indicated, but when left to run the computer over the whole tank its been between BANG ON (proper brim to brim) or upto 1mpg optimistic.

I'm using MissB's S60 D5 today (my old car) due to not wanting to risk drowning my S4 in the floods....currently on 174k and it is soldiering on great apart from the constantly knocking always fixing suspension components.
