Having said that, our xc70 D4 fwd, built may 2015, has had no issues whatsoever over a total of 90k miles - we bought it a year ago with 75k on the clock.
It has not had the so called 'fix' done to it - i.e. It still has a 'T-piece' in the top hose. |
Well, I spoke too soon. Our EGR valve gave up the ghost while on holiday back in the UK. No warning lights, just horrendous misfire and engine jerking back and forth if you pushed the accelerator pedal (to accelerate(!)). It was fine at constant speed on open road but gradually got worse and worse as we got into town with roundabouts and 'lights and kept stalling when slowing right down. It turned out to be the EGR valve and was replaced along with cooler and the new mods to pipework also fitted. All sorted under goodwill from Volvo.
