Time to cut losses and get rid?
Hi all.
Has come to that time where serious questions need to be asked if I keep my 2014 v60 d3 (72k miles) as bills are just mounting.
Had the car about 2 years and have had to replace tmap sensor and in July at its service there was oil in the coolant and needed a new oil cooler (£420).
Now at its mot (which it passed) I asked the garage to investigate the horrendous noise coming from the engine every time I accelerate. Initially the volvo specialist had said it was likely a exhaust manifold gasket and was looking at £700 to replace. However, further inspection shows a sheered bolt/stud in the cylinder head..... Recommended to budget £2000(!!!) to fix it.
Has the time come to wash my hands and move on?
Are there any "cheaper" was to resolve the cylinder head issue? I really like the car but it has been a bit of a money pit....
