In Volvo's words they refuse to publicise component failure rates, but willing to contribute to the repairs of those with new cars and serviced by Volvo Dealers.
I wonder if this is a significant problem for the industry?
Second buyers - from my experience don't be fooled by the margue.

Erm, well, it is mainly only one engine which has the DMF failure and that is (mainly) the 2.0D. All the others have more or less no issues...
I'm not far from the 100.000 miles and my 2.0l PETROL has no issues what so ever with the DMF.
