So, as we suspect, V-Power probably makes no difference. I'll still keep buying it however !

I can't imagine that Volvo could easily retro-fit AdBlue systems to existing cars, it would be ruinously expensive ... but at the moment, there is no long-term fix! |

I'd love to see the sales and marketing 'sell' on this after all the hype about the new VEA engine. Might be quite amusing if it wasn't so serious for all existing VEA drivers. On the other hand, Volvo may yet 'solve' the problem. AdBlue is not the perfect solution either.

No, an efficient modern (small capacity) petrol engine is though. Just like JLR, Volvo have been caught out by the ebb away from diesel engines turning into a flow as a result of the VW scandal. Apart from the calorific differences between petrol and diesel as raw fuels there is no reason why a modern petrol engine can't achieve close to diesel levels of economy. And petrol engines are MUCH cheaper to build for Euro 6 and US regs.

Diesel engines that don't use AdBlue to meet Euro 6 have to use a lot of EGR instead - hence the Volvo problem. The EGR cooler design isn't up to snuff. |

This is my 3rd, the first lasted 12.5k the second 4K always used v-power or equivalent, always driven firmly, always over long miles. And what is the deal with Swedish engineers coming to the UK, sounds like a some damage limitation bull. |
