Hello to you all.
I was looking at a V70 Diesel (140) (around 2002 MY and with 150k miles) on Autotrader recently and there was a comment about a £1700 fix which had been done on a 'common engine fault'. Does anybody know of such a fault on these cars, or other major faults that can occur? Are the other engine types any better/worse?
Thank you.

These have an Audi 2.5 Tdi lump, they do suffer a timing/balancer shaft chain issue at higher miles 150-200k ish, Its a major job indeed & may well be what your on about. It does'bt often result in a failure but you do get a harshness to the engine which will need fixing at some point.
Its a much better car than the Audi equivelant!!

They changed engines at some point in the model line up and yr...from 140 bhp audi 5 pot engine to the Volvo own engine @ 164 or 163 bhp.
There was then a D5 engine @ 184 (which I have)....later on.
If its the V70 140 Audi engine, I used to have an 850 tdi and it was fairly bullet proof, bar the comment posted about the belts etc.

Thought the Audi 2.5 was a 6-cylinder and the Volvos were 2.4 5-cylinder anyway?Its a much better car than the Audi equivelant!!
