Also, are there any obvious things I need to pay attention to?
I have Vida, so at least car will be checked for error codes stored.
Any help and suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks.
In my humble opinion, the 5-cylinder Volvo diesel engine (whether D3, D4 or D5 variant) is the most structurally reliable diesel engine ever fitted to a passenger car.
