Transmission fluid and silicone grease added to list. Unfortunately no receipts at all. Had a look this afternoon, all I can say is the aux belt tensioner doesn't look brand new. I agree will add a genuine tensioner to the list as well. Thanks for the pointers. |

Thanks for the tip on oil level. Coincidentally I came across the same advice on SiRobb's YouTube earlier. Managed to change the fuel filter this evening. Great tip about priming it. Appreciated. The filter that came out was pretty black. To all, a great little community here. I hope to be able to help others in the future. |

One minor point re the vacuum pipe. As well as acting on the front and rear engine mounts there is also a connection to the EGR cooler bypass on the manual E4 engines.
The spot filter full message... You might be lucky and the DPF just needed a regen, but your low oil warning could be symptomatic of a bigger problem whereby oil is being blown into the exhaust system which then helps to clog the DPF,. It seems that in most cases the fix is new piston rings... I would keep a very close eye on the oil level, consumption can be as much as a little in 150 miles. If you do have this problem you might want to consider appealing to the dealer for a return or repair. Search for 'soot filter full' or D5 oil consumption and check out the diesel section of the forum. Oh, and a bottle of DPF cleaner would probably be worth putting through. When they are running well these motors are a joy to drive and can leave you with the impression that you've just nipped down the road instead of an x00 mile journey.

Gave her an oil change last night in advance of a 150 mile run today. Will keep a close eye on the oil. I've been mulling over whether to return the car. As I understand it there's a 14 day cooling off period, and as I mentioned in the first post I over paid to begin with. I believe the term is buyers remorse. Have a great Saturday. |

I certainly hope so. We did 140 mi today before we got a low oil warning. This after doing a change with 6l of fresh and a new filter.
The sad thing Is, I bloody love driving this car. Any advice on how to approach the convo with the dodgy dealer? For reference, he'd bought the car from auction from Marshall Motor Group. Has a lot of about 20 other used cars. Gutted. The gamble looks to have gone horribly wrong Sigh... |

You bought a 14 year old car with no/little history - as you said earlier, caveat emptor unless there’s something that’s materially different about the car to what you were told when you bought it.
Never heard of a cooling off period when you’ve bought a secondhand car. |

It's a long shot, but I'ma gone take it. (Read in southern American accent) Will play to the fact that the dealer likely doesn't want or need bad reviews on his eBay or Google accounts. Also, he seemed like a reasonable guy. All this said, I know I'm an idiot. https://www.confused.com/buy-a-car/t...ing-a-used-car |

I just wanted to close the loop on this in case anyone comes across this thread in the future, or has similar issues.
I called my local independent Volvo specialist - DMW in S. London and told him the story, asking what it would cost to replace the piston rings. He immediately advised me to stay well clear and return the car. Said I could get a second hand engine from ebay, but advised against it. Needless to say, I'll be taking my new Volvo to them for any work. Nice guys. Fortunately the original dealer appears to be one of the good guys, he immediately apologised and has accepted will accept the car back for a refund. I'm now in the market again for a 7 seater v70 if anyone has one going or any leads. |

Good to know there are some decent dealers out there, glad you have it sorted.
Hope your search for a replacement doesn't take long!
