Anyone in Europe looking to buy a Volvo with the D5 engine in a model year '03 and before (S60, S80 & XC90) then check to see if the injectors have been replaced. If they haven't - don't buy the car. The Bosch injectors are a big problem on the older versions of these engines.

Cakefool posted:Having got bored looking at every cheap lovely volvo within 100 miles, I've doubled my budget. Can someone tell me what to avoid before 2004 on a manual diesel v70 please? Pre-2004 the Volvo D5 engine was prone to injector failures. At about £1200 each, make sure that the car you are looking at has had them changed. Also, 96,000 miles is the service when the cambelt is changed - if you get it done at a Volvo dealership it'll cost > £500.

Cakefool posted:How can I tell? Also am I right in thinking 200,000 miles is no biggy for these engines? You should ask the owner and look to see the paperwork from when it was done. I reckon 200,000 is no problem if it has been regularly serviced. I have a 2004 S80 D5 with just over 150k on it and the engine is fine.

Casao posted:So, turns out what I'd misremembered as an S60 is actually a 2004 S80 with 55k miles on it, and it's in awesome condition. This thing owns. I know the earliest ones were reputed to have electrics by the Amish, but I too have a 2004 S80 and it is loving awesome.
