Volvo Owners Club Forum - View Single Post - 2007 D5 (185)....Excessive Oil Consumption & Soot Filter Ful

Treadgingerly · Jan 12th, 2023, 10:10

I wish I'd read this thread before I bought my latest car. I have a 2006 V70 185 with all the problems described. It has just had a new DPF, turbo and sensors (don't ask which) and is still consuming massive amounts of oil and the fuel consumption is very high. The cost including buying the car is running into thousands. I sold a perfectly healthy S60 D5 for £550 to buy this. To say I feel sick is an understatement. Reading this thread, and I have read it, there doesn't seem to be any conclusive fix. No nailed on, this is the problem. I am collecting it from a Volvo 'specialist' this morning who, despite being told what's wrong, has said there's oil getting into the turbo and they can't sort out the dpf until this is resolved. I told them about the oil consumption and asked them to ignore the dpf. I have nowhere to work on the car myself (especially given the weather) and really at a loss as to what to do. If I'd paid £500 for it. I'd scrap it.
