You can just browse through them at leisure then and pick out the parts that concern you most. Phase three cars do have huge issues with headgaskets on the force vehicles. They have changed them now for a improved version which seems to have cured the issue. But hoses are a problem so if you do have a phase 3 vehicle with a diesel motor please check them over as the newsletter says.

Yes head gaskets on T6 have been a big problem on cop cars. My local dealer always has one in, and through talking to them, they said they hoped it was solved.

Insbruck1 - I noticed in one of the newsletters where it is covering the hgf issues that there's a statement in bold that "this issue has nothing to do with the engine upgrade that has been performed on your police vehicle".

What engine upgrade? There's long been denied rumours that the old P2 T5s had a boost compared to civilian versions.

These days it would make sense to me that police vehicles would/should be supplied with polestar installed. Is this the upgrade referred to?

Yes this is the upgrade that is added to our vehicles at present. Our T5's were also modified before commissioning.

Intresting to see that Gen 3 V70's also have 336mm front brakes and ventilated rear disc. Time to start looking into some parts numbers me thinks!

Great thread! Nice bit of reading!

It took me nearly a day but I have made a PDF "Contents" list for the Generation 3 models covered by this sub forum. It covers from Newsletter 20 to 37.

It would be great to get this included on the dropbox link.
