oil filter in rear transfer case clogged, oil dirty causing pump to seize.

Filter been cleaned and oil replaced and no warnings coming up now.

Seems they have treated the symptoms and not addressed the actual cause.

Cheapest patch job possible.

Not investigating why its happened so chances are i'll be back again when it fails after another 5k miles.

Sigh.

Oh, update: seems something more serious as error still coming up so now they have realised there is a proper mechanical fault and have escalated to Volvo.

Just had tyre pressure warnings come on the Disco S.

LOL.

It seems that some dealers are just not up to servicing or fixing these highly complex cars.

It's been 9 weeks since BLIS, CTA and Collision Mitigation (I assume) stopped working properly on my car and 5 weeks since the dealer's first attempt at fixing it. I think they're clueless and/or the in-built diagnostics are useless.

Don't even want to think about 9 weeks of trauma..

My only comfort (hopefully i'm not being naive ) is this being a mechanical not software fault so in theory its a "replace bits" and its fixed issue. I so so hope lol

Disco S is growing on me. Its the new Sd4 240bhp version. Its decent.

I believe it uses the same Haldex 5 unit that you are having all the problems with.

Well this is all starting to sound a little more serious than first anticipated.

The dealer has replaced the diff pump, they swapped out the oil etc but its still showing up a fault and they took a fresh sample of oil and it showed metal in it so something way more "mechanical" is clearly wrong.

They have escalated it again to Volvo as to what they should actually do next.

Have a feeling the whole rear diff/transfer case is going to need replacing.

Not great.

Out the Disco and into a 67reg loaded xc90 momentum. God the 360 camera and front sensors are nice. Dont think its winter+ but will tell tonight if headlights are the shadow ones. Hope not, that'd be too nice a treat to have to give up

So seems they are replacing the whole AOC unit at rear so obviously a pretty serious failure.

They even said if it's going to be much more of a delay they'll swap my winters onto this loaner.

Really can't moan about the service now, its great.

Glad you are being looked after.

Keep us updated on the fix, it will be useful information for the future for others no doubt.

So very little in way of information provided by dealer as to exactly what the problem really was, what caused it etc.

Just a whole new AOC unit fitted and off I go...
