The original work cost 7500. The garage has offered me 7000 for my car. So basically, they have taken my XC90 Executive with all the extras possible, not fully diagnosed what the problem was and then not even given me back what I originally spent. Before the first turbo failed, the car used no oil, didn't smoke and pulled like a train. The car had been serviced by a Volvo concessionaire a month before and nothing was said about the engine being worn out. When it went in for the first turbo, nothing was said about the engine being worn out. They are saying that in the space of 5k miles the engine has become worn out. Does this seem reasonable? The garage has done no tests (compression or cylinder leakage) and with the cat and dpf uninstalled the engine runs ok.
