New engine required on xc60? 3 years old

Lean · Jul 21st, 2021, 12:10

Hi all,

My XC60 (late 2017 plate) of which I have done 24k miles. It broke down last week and was recovered via volvo assistance. It's been serviced via volvo dealer and was within the service period (next one due in around 11k miles or so I think) but the warranty had lapsed.

I've been told I need a new engine which is going to cost 9k. Volvo customer service have agreed to pay 50% of the cost - but obviously leaves me with a 4.5k cost. Am i wrong to think that even if it's out of warranty I should be able to expect the car engine to last more than 24k. This is the report I've been given. Can't help feel that a car that cost me 45k + should not be having an engine fail when it's been serviced regardless it being out of warranty?

Any help / advice appreciated
Thanks

Vehicle recovered in as non-runner. Carried out initial test and found plug number 1 covered in oil with

Fault code ECM-P0300 cylinder number 1 misfire.

Checked and found no compression on cylinder 1.

Checked with camera scope and found piston wet/oily.

Suspect requires new engine.
