I did a call to the official volvo services in Sweden and they told me that There’s only two way to fix this problem, you have to replace pistons+rings or change the engine to new one. As well they offer call to official volvo service in my country and ask for Goodwell (that mean the service expenses can be coveted by volvo from 30% -70%). In my country volvo service offered me 30%... and they offered me only new engine witch costs 7000euros....
So i decided repair car by own money... I will replace pistons+rings.

I hope will help this info for you!

Yep sure, but the car will be dismantled only on Monday 26.10.2020. And When I will finish repairs of my car, I will comment the total amount of this repair

Ok, many thanks for that.

Well, I spended 1200 euros for new parts, repair cost 800 eur, total 2000eur.
etc.. my turbine has been leaking oil as well.. so double trouble. I paid 200 euros for to repair turbines.

We’re you able to examine your old pistons and rings? If so, what was there condition?

Also, what was the condition of the cylinders?

Thank you, Under the terms of turbine you mean the turbo charger?

[Valdas1988]

Cylinders very good condition, the problem was with oil rings. There are very small holes for oil to flow. And my pistons weren't much burned yet, could have been put back old, but I had new ones and replaced...

VEA engines up to 2015 and prior to engine number 1501327 can be prone to developing high oil consumption. The solution is new pistons and piston rings.

I have bought a VOLVO V70 from year 2015 with D4204T5 (D4 Diesel) engine 3 weeks ago. The car run 192000 km.

I drove the first 1000 km without any problem. I went to a Volvo dealer for a re-call (I was told that a vent pipe must be installed in the cooling system).

After 200-300 km from re-call the message appeared on the dash board: add 0,5 half litre of oil, so I did.
After another 200 km the same message appeared, so I did again, but started to monitor the oil level on the dash board. Every morning and evening when I sat into the car checked, and it always showed the normal amount (only the stripe under max indication was missing).

After 200-250 km, yesterday the "add 0,5 half litre of oil" message appeared again. When I wanted to make the measurement, the dash board wrote "not available"

I went immediately to the Volvo dealer and I was told that they had to calibrate the oil measure on the dashboard with the computer and had to add 1 litre of oil. Now I shall wait, if error message pop up again or not.

TBH, I am a bit concerned, because within 2 weeks and 500 km almost 2 litre of oil had to be added. I see no oil leak on the floor. No black/blue exhaust gas coming, no power loss, nothing.

Please, help me. Can anyone had similar problem?

Thank you!

I guess it's practically impossible to know which of those two separate issues was mostly responsible for the high oil consumption? Because I'd be happy to pay for the relatively cheap turbo repair but would keep topping up the engine using cheap oil to avoid the piston ring repair costs.
