Is that the solution for a P014c problem?

The revised cooler is full again so they have carried out a cylinder leakage test on the engine which has shown excessive leakage from an internal fault.

It seems that the cure is a new engine. I'm waiting to hear whether or what Volvo will contribute bearing in mind it's only 4 years old, 30k with a full Volvo history.

Ouch - please keep us updated.

It's the problem I'm having! I Keep reading/resetting it but it comes back every couple of hundred miles.

it's because of the slow response from an exhaust oxygen sensor. So far as I can tell it's due to soot build-up on the sensor and apparently there's also a software update, presumably to make the ECM more tolerant of the slow response. I have previously asked for advice, but what I've got has gone over my head and I think it relates to using VIDA... https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=283810

If it's an easy job to remove and clean the sensor then I'd rather have a go myself.

Hello

I own a my 2014 V60 D4 181 HP. I have several EGR pipes, cooler, valves exchanges (in 2016, 2017..and need to be replaced since june 2018).
My car has 120000kms.
Since the car passed 80000kms, the engine burns more and more engine oil, about 1 liter every 1300kms. No external leak.
It is over Volvo standard (0.5liter/1000kms).

My Expert (amicable procedure) detected cylinders leakage (from 20% to 60%).
Volvo wants me to pay for diagnose the engine (remove the breech) and it will cost about 2500€ to remove and replace the breech.
So it will cost me a lot.

It will be great if we could join how effort against Volvo company.
I'm close to start a juridical procedure but it will last a while (2 years?) and cost a lot.

You can contact me by email if you want.

Thank you.

I must say it is a bit concerning re longer term problems with the VEA engine ?

I'm knocking on the door of 120k miles and so far things have been ok since I had what I understand was the final fix EGR at 45k. I was hoping to run this car to north of 200k miles so am also worried by these reports. Fingers crossed they are not the norm.

At 30-35k a year it soon adds up!

Well after cleaning the EGR and cooler at the end of October, the fault code is back. So this time it is booked into Volvo and I will keep you apprised on what the dealer say. I hope Clan your quote about the cooler fix being extended is correct as this time I don't want to have to have issues every 300 miles or so from now on.

Not a great advert for Volvo.
