Safety Recall Notice
Hi All,
Received a Recall Campaign notice yesterday for my 08 MY V70 D5. (30.000 mls) This is the second one I have had, this new one is about fuel getting into the sump and overfilling the engine oil. I have checked my cars oil level this morning and it is WAY over the max mark. Anyone else got this letter?

Volvo recall
Hi,
Yes, received mine for my 08 S80 D5 in the post this morning, the wife is out in the car (shopping!) so I'll check when she gets back. When I last checked the oil level a couple of weeks ago, all was fine. Regards, Paul |

I wouldn't be too happy if thats all they did, engine oil contaminated with diesel isn't going to be doing the engine any good at all, the very least would be a full drain, new filter and re-filled with the correct spec oil if the car was showing overly full due to fuel getting in to the sump - Mike

I had a feeling that's all the dealer will do.
I agree with Mike, fresh fill of oil and a new filter. I reckon the oil must be close to 30% Derv judging by the dipstick level.

I have just bought a 58 plate V70 D5 sport only last week from the main dealer. I checked the oil yesterday and it was about 1cm over maximum mark. I will wait a few days to see if i get a recall letter.

The last time our V70 went in to have the DPF regenerated I called into the the service desk and the guy told me that the car is fine now and we've given it an oil change as well????
When I queried this (how dare I) it was just brushed off. What really annoys me is that this DPF technology is obviously a **** up, rushed job whatever you want to call it and the fact that Volvo will drain your oil down to make the level correct. I thought that this very expensive engine oil was now liquid engineering. How can it do the same job if 20 to 30% of it is diesel or bio diesel. Would we be better just topping the engine up with vegatable or olive oil. Brian. |

You seem to be in the know, so could you also explain what route the Derv is using to get into the sump? Is it excess fuel that's getting by the piston rings, or as the particulate filter keeps getting a mention, could you explain how the filter works and why this could cause fuel in the sump? Thanks, Nick
