MabsT5 I've Been Banned Last Online: Nov 27th, 2020 00:07 Join Date: Mar 2018 Location: Taunton	How reliable is the 2.3 T5 Lump Actually I thought i would ask the Guys here with all the knowledge i have found a Volvo V70 t5 black Manual. It's covered 138k and the seller wants just over 1k. Now i am very interested but at the same time a bit hesitant due to the fact my brother v70 went boom and spun a shell. This all happened after a few days he bought the car , i won't get into that too much. So i guess i am being more precautionary? I've already had 850 t5 fail on me and then my brothers v70 t5 die ( Currently getting a new engine fitted ) I've heard a lot of bad news about the 2.3 blocks on how weak it is and how the oil return system gets blocked causing the engine to fail ect? Anway i am in two minds in if I should gamble again and but another Volvo ( for some odd reason I keep coming back to them? ) cheers guys
