V70
Is that a definite for the VW lump (it's in a 1999 V70 estate auto) regarding the tyres as I have been advised to put 32psi front & 30psi rear. If I increase to 36psi front would I have to increase my rears to 38psi pro rata to maintain the balance/ride height.

Diesel Engine is used for the four-stroke combustion principle, also known as the "Otto Cycle," and it's the basic premise for most car engines today. In its early stage, the gasoline engine wasn't very efficient, and other major methods of transportation such as the steam engine fared poorly as well.

D4164T(E4) Engine Trouble
Hi I am new here and desperately looking for information. Please help if you can.
Car description S40 1.6D 2005 Recently while I was in motorway engine oil sign came off. I stopped and relayed the car to my local independent volvo specialist. He said the horrible sound is coming from vacuum pump. So, it was changed. They said the vacuum pump's broken part smashed and went to the engine oil that blocked the engine oil. He found only 1 litre of engine oil when he drained it (theAA recovery team noted oil as 2/3 when attended). Now, upto 1000rpm rev the engine sounds normal and can go upto 20m/h but over that there is noise from bottom of the engine. I was told I have to reconditioned/replace engine. Can anybody know who can do the recondition the engine properly and refit it. Volvo dealer asks 5.4K, independent can do it for 4.5K with a new engine from Volvo (3.2K). Others quoted 2.2-2.5K (internet sources), I can't go for 4.5K. I would like to go for 2K-2.2K but how can I authenticate the internet sales quotes? Or, can they really do the job? It is only 4.5 years old car. Did anybody have this kind of problem? |

Your indi was charging £1300 to fit a new engine from Volvo so I would expect the cost to be the same for fitting the engine from the breakers. So that should be about £2500 total.
Is the engine the right price? Only you can decide that, but you could contact some more breakers and get a price comparison. More miles less expensive I would think. All the best. Roy

so the oil ran out ...? where did the oil go? thats what caused the vacuum pump to fail i guess , do you check your oil ? if this is the case the turbo is likely to be damaged too .
This engine is used on a huge variety of cars these days so there should be a lot in breakers yards .. you could save a bit by using a citroen or ford version if you know what you are doing ..

The vacuum pump on my 940 TD became noisey at 94,000 (not through lack of oil) and I had it changed before anything happened, but if you drive with the radio on I guess you might not hear it failing?
Might not the blocked oilways (from the broken pump parts) have pressurised the system and caused the oil to blow out somewhere?
