my v70 dilemma

chorley · Feb 9th, 2021, 18:34

hi all/
my much loved v70 is finally dying on me (or is it) i have owned my 2004 volvo bi-fuel for 10 years, it is by far the best car i ever owned. odometer stopped working at 199k, i guestimate she has around 240k on her now. but it has been diagnosed with rms leak, im getting around a saucer full of oil residue every morning . i cant see me forking out 1k plus to get it fixed, if i go down the route of just keeping an eye on the oil levels, and making sure she has oil . does any1 in volvo land think i could keep her alive for a few more years, or is it scrap yard time.

I'd keep an eye on the oil levels but you'll eventually end up with an oil slick under the car. Is it a manual? I'd expect the clutch to start suffering pretty quickly too.
