Death of my D5?
After 4 years of relatively trouble free motoring, I fear the end is nigh for my D5. Even though the aux belt was changed at a main Volvo dealer last April, it has shredded its edges and a piece has got into the timing belt causing it to jump.
The garage are doing some diagnostic work to work out how bad it is, but it my be terminal. So the question is what to do now? Repair it? Have the head rebuilt if the lower engine and bores are ok? Try to get a recon engine? Or scrap it?

What miles was on it when it died?
My indi tech would tell you to source a replacement engine and have it fitted and if you love the car and it lives on there really is no argument is there?

It’s done 186k, but it doesn’t look it visually and is pretty clean and tidy.

My girlfriends car did the same thing last year I did all the work myself and parts totaled about £800. I put a lower milage head on and reused as many original part's as I could. I would say have it repaired but I don't know how much they would charge for labour. I had no bottom end damage and it happened at 70 mph so I think yours will be alright.

Apparently the head is toast.
So the options are now: Reconditioned head, Replacement engine, Scrap the car and buy something else.

What's the cost for a new head ? What's the cost for a new engine ? What would the car be worth once the work is done ? What's the value of the car in it's current state, if you got rid What could you buy with the money you would spend on this car ? There are others factors at play, but getting the figures together would guide you. |

I'm thinking bent valves and cracked guides......is this the garages take on it needing a new head?
Surely a reputable machine shop could sort this.....it's called fixing stuff ! Hope you get it sorted and the scrapyard doesn't get it !

It hasn’t actually broken - it’s just frayed and some of the bits of cord got in the timing belt. I agree it needs clarification of what has caused it, otherwise it will just happen again.
