Just 1 other comment re this car: the engine compartment is a night mare. You would think big car, lot's of room... Volvo must have a different logic I would guess. Never had so much trouble working around an engine than this one, and this is an XC90, wonder how tings are on a XC70?

Just read the whole thread.
I have a 2008 D5 185 manual on 165k miles that does not use any oil - but MPG isn't great. Hopefully the oil situation doesn't change, but better MPG would be appreciated ! |

Out of interest, what mpg are you getting?
I've recently bought a 2007 XC90 D5 Geartronic and seem to be getting around 32mpg solo and about 24mpg with the caravan on the back. No oil used in the 1000 miles that I've put on it so far and seems to pull well. I had absolutely no issues on my S60 D5 E4 when I had it and put over 60k on it. No oil used and never once a soot filter full message.

It depends who's driving. I've just filled it and calculated the real MPG of the last tank, which was mostly driven by my lead-foot wife, doing local trips mainly and one longer journey, and it was 24.8.
I can get around that towing my 1.5T caravan, or about 23 when 5-up, bikes on top, and fully loaded for 2 weeks in France. I always find a reasonable improvement if premium V-Power or similar fuel is used, especially on the 2nd and 3rd tanks if it has several in a row. Last time I worked it out the improved efficiency didn't quite offset the extra cost, but sometimes the extra range is useful, especially when towing. I'm about to do a 500 mile weekend, of which 400 will be towing and 100 around the hilly Yorkshire Dales, so will see how much it chews through. I also have a E3 163 D5 in a V70 which always returns high 40's, although the car is lighter that engine seems way more efficient. |

Real-life MPG, not displayed MPG. The displayed figure in the car is around 10% more optimistic than real-life

To be fair Swiss, I never pay much attention to the car's av mpg readout as I always work off actual fuel used against mileage covered doing brim to brim fill ups.

Same here - consistently hovers around 32mpg except long motorway journeys where it creeps up to around 34mpg.
I have lead feet so car rarely dips below 75mph when on the motorway - I am sure if I hovered around 70 mpg would rise quite a bit more as I know the wind resistance rises quite substantially once you head towards 80mph. |

I've been away a while so if you have covered this please forgive me.
Volvo V70 D5 08 Manual 185BHP 140Kmiles Recently started using lots of oil, now top to bottom of dipstick in 500 miles. DPF clogs regularly I guess because of the oil consumption. (I do quite a few short journeys but generally at least a 200 mile motorway journey every couple of weeks) Changed oil breather diaphragm, hasn't made any difference. Always burned a lot of fuel low 30's on mixed driving (my 02 V70 always returned around 40mpg) No visible smoke or smell, goes well but engine never sounds very sweet, lumpy idle and almost stalls when coasting to a stop, especially with aircon on. (blip throttle and it returns to a smoother idle) Air pipes from turbo not excessively oily inside. When driving with the windows down you can hear what sounds like belt chatter when the engine is under load at around 1500RPM. (it isn't belt chatter) I assumed this was the turbo 'flipping over' but now I'm not so sure. Lots of other wheezing and breathing noises when you lift off etc, but I'm pretty sure the intercooler is OK and all pipes seem OK. I'm thinking oil leak on exhaust side of turbo and a recon turbo wouldn't be too painful, but if there is more than that wrong then it is probably time for a new car! |
