Cylinder Head Failure
well, not a good week with the XC90 . After driving 10 meters down the road the car has decided to give up on me. It has gone into the locally indie who has identified that the engine has no compression and suspects that something has failed within the engine. He is working on a bill to replace the engine / head and has advised that its going to cost £500 to remove the head.
I have got all the tools at home to be able to remove the head but could do with a pdf on how to remove the cylinder head / engine on this model, if anyone can help. The engine is a 2006 D5 185 bhp variant |

Would it not be easier / cheaper to buy a complete engine from a breakers and replace in one go?
ps. bad luck!

maybe , although I cant find an engine for under £1700, I was hooping that the damage to the engine was only to the head and I could replace for half the cost

This printout is for a 2005 D5 AWD auto model. My copy of VIDA only covers 2003 - 05. Hope it helps.

thanks Mike, I really appreciate it. If anyone does have a copy for the 2006 model please let me know although I doubt that there will be much difference.

Sorry to hear your bad news 001ben
I'd be very interested to know what caused this - I've certainly not heard many instances of this sort of failure on here for these engines - have you got any idea ? What sort of mileage/service record has the vehicle got - it's not cambelt related is it ? |
