Out of curiosity really. I own a v70 d5 but work in a Ford dealerships in the service department and I see tons of these engines on a daily basis.

What makes them such an issue to Volvo owners or is there issues caused due to installation? Every so often a turbo can fail if poor quality oil is used due to crystalisation and the odd injector can go at higher miles, but what diesel doesn't have injector faults?

It's been said previously that sheer weight of numbers can make it seem more unreliable, but in the Ford range it was in 11 or 12 Ford cars and vans sold in 10s of thousands, there will be more faults.

I'm not defending it in anyway, just trying to gauge opinion
