D5 Engine Lifespan
Hi,
Looking for info regarding the life span of a D5 engine. I've had 2 which did over 500k miles. I would be particularly interested to hear from anyone who has had to have a turbo replaced and at what mileage? Thanks in advance

I would be more interested in your oil type and driving regime to put those big miles on yours

If you have already done 500,000 why not another 500,000? turbochargers dont wear , their lifespan is entirely dependant on a good oil supply.

I knew a chap who ran both a P2 V70 D5 and an XC90 D5 to 400k + He covered 40k + a year. They were always filthy inside and out but he clearly looked after them mechanically ! Proper workhorses

Nothing special, I have a very heavy right foot and the cars were always regularly serviced by main agents.

Always use a high quality synthetic oil.

I had a turbo go at 140k miles and the replacement went 5k miles later. The garage (Volvo main agent) didn't ascertain what the cause of the original failure was and refuse to accept liability. Now commencing court action and looking for information on engine life.

The garage is saying that the life of the engine is about 150k miles. I'm trying to find out if this is peoples experience. It isn't mine.
