Hello. Am a lover of Volvo from afar. Never used one before. I loved the feel when I rode in one XC70. Unfortunately, I noticed this particular model is not popular in this group's discussions. Is it a problematic? As am hoping to pick up one. Counting on your experienced views. Thanks

Valarinz, Well done on your nice and consistent campaign about Volvo. I want to get an XC90. In was told to avoid 3.2, t6 and v8 cos of engine and transmission reliability issues. However, I noticed T5 is not usually packed with gadgets and have never seen any 07, 08 T5. Please can you sincerely educate us on reliability of each engine spec of xc90. You are an authority here

Fixed.

V8 got the most rugged and reliable engine, followed by 3.2 then T5.
T5 however has the best mpg rating, and you're right about there being no T5 post 06

There's nothing wrong with the XC70, the low popularity mainly has to do with fashion. It's more popular with the undertakes, smugglers and biz men

House pls am about to buy my first ride....Volvo S40 2.4i (2004) or S40 T5 (2006) dont know which to go for......Someone said T5 consumes more fuel than 2.4i due to its turbo charge..
Re: Thread For Volvo Car Owners/lovers by oluseg2: 4:17pm On May 01, 2019
Hello house. Please what might be the possible causes of high fuel consumption in Volvo S60 turbo 2005 model.

I'm currently doing 16.7mpg highway and city combined and this is really discouraging.

I have got the car scanned but the only thing the technician did was to change the fuel pressure sensor despite the fact that the machine displayed error relating to "leakage" which I guess has to do with vaccum.

I have noticed the following which I need advice as to whether can be the reason for the high fuel consumption;

(1) Fuel gauge malfunctioning. Does not get close to maximum even when you fill the tank to the brim.
(2) Fractured/leaking vaccine hose underneath of the vehicle.
(3) Car does not start at first cranking. You will need to crank the engine 2nd time.

If this high fuel consumption issue can be resolved, I will be the happiest person.

Looking forward to your advice. Thanks

Hi House,

I have not had much experience with Volvo cars. I have driven a friend's 2006 XC90 before and it was better than a Toyota Highander of same year. I watch to buy a naija used 2009 Volvo S60. The car is clean inside and out but am scared it might have faults hidden underneath. I don't know a trust worthy Volvo mechanic that can proffer advice. Please house I read to know more.

Why compare sleep to death?
The best thing to compare with a Volvo are premium brands like Mercedes Benz, Lexus, acura, infiniti, BMW, Audi etc.

This car is by no means a 2009 S60, it's an 02 model.

Cosmetic changes has been done on it to make it look like an 09, the bumpers, side mirrors and headlamps. But still it's an 02 model.

Buy it if u love it, but it's better to known what you're buying

Thanks
