Does anybody know if these parts will fit a 2014 D3 engine the block of which features a tapped hole as described in the original post of the thread?
Volvo Parts Shop were unable to confirm if they would fit the D3 but offered to supply them for £60.39 including VAT and delivery which seems reasonable as a way of avoiding the hassle of reaching the technician's dipstick.
Having never had a service at Volvo independents on a previous 2.4D where the sump has not been overfilled a better dipstick arrangement would be a major benefit.
I suspect the problem with the "we put back exactly the same volume as we took out sir" is in not allowing for the new oil being cold but when heated to the temperature of the old having a significantly greater volume!
