I thought that too. In fact, I find it difficult to believe a new engine can be fitted at Volvo for anything like that. Does that figure include a goodwill gesture?

Agreed..
New engine for sure. The rest of the car is still good I assume, and even if your car was a1 (with a good engine), adding £10k to it on a trade in won't get much.. so a refreshed t8 seems tempting!

I would be tempted to send a sample of your engine oil away for analysis before they drain it down to see what condition the engine is in currently, see what caused it, i.e if it's been overheating or running hot, or poor quality oil / wrong grade etc or whether you have had dirt enter via a poorly fitted air filter, some of these issues may reoccur if the issue was caused by poor oil changes (at your dealer) for example Sounds like a money pit to me, especially having the hybrid system complexities with that sort of milage. |

Yes, that price is all in, all parts, engine, fitting, belts and VAT.

I have also found out today that Volvo are offering 10% goodwill so that will drop the bill by roughly another grand. I hope that the dealer might be able to discount some of the additional parts. If I am lucky the bill might end up being late 7s or early 8k. The car will come back to me with a new cambelt and a full service (which was due in June and would have cost 1.2k) so the whole debacle is likely to set me back just less than 7k net. Still very painful but surprisingly low considering the work done.

I don't have that in writing - no - but I trust the garage. I have had direct contact with the master tech and have gone through it a few times in detail with my contact in service. Just waiting for the engine now as apparently they are built to order and it is currently showing as "on back order". They were hopeful of an update by the end of this week. Will keep you all posted.

Sorry to hear this Philip. What you said - literally all SPA engines are built around the same engine block/head - and having never heard of such a failure up until now - one would hope that this is very much an exception rather than a common failure.
In any case, I think you should keep the car now - as others have said, with this much invested, a new engine under the hood - plus with the current mayhem with new car deliveries - you have a piece of mind and a car that you have owned and maintained from new. Whatever you decide - hope you get the car back asap and good luck!

Sorry to hear this Philip. One question I have is to what extent if any this problem is specific to the T8 as this seems to be solely related to the ICE. Query whether there is more engine wear with a hybrid or whether the engine management system warms up the ICE for the handover from electric
