General - VEA engine EGR issues AGAIN

emmajayne · Jul 4th, 2022, 13:06

2015 V60 D3 with soot filled EGR cooler, blocked EMAP pipe, cracked inlet(intake?) manifold and potentially stuck/sticking EGR valve.

DS Motors in Clydebank Glasgow diagnosed the above issues today 04Jul2022. With a bill looking like upwards of £2k unfortunately if all parts need replaced.

I previously had the EGR cooler replaced at 53k miles back in 2020, which Volvo paid for on goodwill. The same issue has occurred again but worse and I'm concerned I cannot get any goodwill again. I have the warranty invoice from the previous repairs which states:

"TR641872,GGC 100%.INTERMITTENT EML ON DASH
CONFIRMED FAULT,ECM-P04D900.TRACED,EGR COOLER
BLOCKED WITH SOOT,NO EXTERNAL AIR LEAKS,HAS
MODIFIED HOSES FITTED,CARRIE OUT DYNAMIC CYL LEAK
TEST NO LEAKAGE.R&R EGR COOLER,CLEAR DTC TESTED OK.
Calibrating/Identifying with VIDA
X V36003021 EGR COOLER, EXCH"

The past month the dreaded "reduced engine performance" message and terry the turtle showed up quite regularly. I am now at 83k miles on the car so since the last repair in July 2020 I've put 30k miles on the car with a lot of motorway driving. I am always in a rush so never sitting below speed and do regular drives into the highlands about 80 miles away from Glasgow, so I just don't think the issue is my driving of the vehicle. Or maybe that is very wishful thinking.

Has anyone on here had luck with getting Volvo goodwill on these very common issues? Advice very much needed as I can't find £2k to get this car back to health. Not in this economy
