I guess there will always be some teething problems with a brand new engine and modifications are always likely to be needed. As long as they are fixable relatively easily with [hopefully] no further issues then that would be a bonus.
Volvo have used the last 12 months to find out any issues with the new engine so that it can be rectified by the time the XC90 comes out.
To a certain degree we have all been guinea pigs.
The timing of the launch of the new VEA engine, I believe, was a tactical move in readiness for the new flagship XC90 this April.
I bet the EGR won't be an issue on the XC90 as it will have been fitted with the latest component, which is probably why forum members with EGR problems are having to wait for modified parts as the supply is being used up on production engines first.
Just my thoughts.
