V70XC AWD 2.4T 2001 Destroyed Engine UK M25

Post by Satch »

I have had my engine replaced with the 3rd lump, main dealer gave new engine 4 oil changes and today after 65 miles it blew up on the fast lane of the 4 lane M25 in the UK, they changed me £3000 for the original replacement and have never fixed the issue, they then put my 2yr old son, and my wife and I in grave danger allowing this vehicle on the road, should they replace the car ?, it was bought privately but has been in the garage longer than I have driven it. They originally changed the ETM, the wiring harness, the coil packs, the cam belts and all fluids drained at the proper temperatures. how can Volvo let this happen, we could have been killed today !! :-(
