I am doing some research, and I have come across this post...
I had the exact same problem, my car was serviced by TMS Volvo in November 2019, and in March I started to get a coolant level issue. Unfortunately with Covid no garage could look at my car till May, I kept the coolant topped up.
Volvo looked at the car, told me no problems, cut a long story short at the end of July, told it needs a new engine... £8500 approx. My car is a 65 plate and done 48k miles. I reported it to Volvo Uk who don’t seem interested, I raised a quality assurance complaint with my car finance, they didn’t uphold the complaint. I’ve made a complaint to the Financial Ombudsman now.
I’ve had a mechanic look at the car, I’ve been informed it’s a Peugeot engine in there. I’ve had this car since May 2019. Any advice... I am trying to get this fixed at the moment, but don’t want to rush as it’s not a small cost.

Thanks
