hOW MANY MILES HAS YOUR DIESEL ENGINE DONE??
Hi,
Just thinking maybe it would be good to se how many miles these Volvo's can do,if you post your miles,model,and age of car and any probs you've had we could get a really good thread on the go. See who's got the highest mileage! Mine's on 95k on a 51 plate |

2005 s60 d5 113k
although before this i had a vectra sold with 186k on it, original timing chain (had no issues with it until i fitted one of those dodgy tuning chips*still bitter*, would still have it now if i twasn't for that, but then i wouldn't of had such a fab car now before that a cavlier with 174k on , sold it to a friend who scrapped it at 195k i'm hoping this car will last a long time based on the fact i'm hoping volvo make better engines than vauxhall! |

I'm hoping Volvo make a better engine than VW as the last two mk4 golf diesels i've had have been rubbish to be perfectly honest!
Hope my V40 fairs better,still with 95k it's only a baby! Keep the mileages coming people |

My S80 D5 2002 (owned for about 6mths) has done 135K and the engine is A1. I do worry sometimes about an injector problem I've heard about on engines made in about 2002, but, touch wood, no problems so far.

However I recently purchased a V70 2.5D with 162,000 on the clock, the owner proudly told me that it would eat my Golf for breakfast but I have to say its been a disappointment, so much so that I kept my Golf (thank God!) and have now listed the V70 on eBay, it honestly feels like I'm driving a hearse around! So if anyone's interested in a cheap V70 diesel have a look http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1208217454...ht_2793wt_1344 Apologies if there's another section that I should put the link into Edit:- I just read my post back and I have to say that I do hope that I haven't oversold it there Last edited by Michael888; Dec 2nd, 2011 at 11:29. |

Buried in this long thread may already be an answer to this..... When my garage changed the crankshaft pulley, they let me peek inside the engine. There we saw the VW symbol! Although I thought my V70 had an Audi engine, rebuilt by Volvo, the mechanic said it's identical to the 2.5l TDi on the VW Transporters he services for a local business. There are 5 vans, all on 300k+!
