I've had my VEA 181 for a year now and bought it as a Selekt vehicle with 42k on, it's now 5 years old with 59k.
It had the EGR etc replaced before I purchased it. The only issue has been a fuel filter that wasn't replaced when it should have been. As it's a long term keeper I'm doing 9k oil changes, and thanjkfully uses next to no oil. |

I got a 'reduced engine power' message plus the tortoise.
Mine was not the typical EGR cooler blockage issue, my primary problem was the EGR valve became stuck open which led to an almost complete loss of power (but the dealer found that the cooler was again becoming blocked while replacing the valve). Worrying as my car had already been fitted with the modified/uprated/less condensing version of the EGR cooler a short while ago... the fact that Volvo will still replace this for free - even when the car is over 4 years old - is slightly reassuring, although does point to a design flaw that may never be actually fixed? And what happens to the sale price of our cars when Volvo stop offering free replacements? Mine was not a Selekt used car, it was an ex-leasehire that I bought from an auction. But apparently it makes no difference. I described it in some detail a couple of pages back in this thread, including details of Volvo goodwill.

Do you change your oil and filter yourself ? and if so how easy is it ? I'm a bit reluctant due to the fact that there is no dipstick and I don't know anything about the electronic system. Iain

Clan, you know your stuff, these EGR issues, is it just the 181 BHP engines that are afected or if the revised 190 also problematic?
