Re: S80 Reliability/Quality? S80 2002

That engine will last forever....turbocharged or not. I had a 740 Turbo (read:small 4 cyl, large turbo, high pressure) and I sold the car with over 200K on it, with absolutely NO engine problems whatsoever...the original turbo lasted 200K, I replaced it with a watercooled unit that should last another 200K. I also have a 940 Turbo. The turbos in the S80 are very small, produce little boost, and have watercooling. The S80 engine (inline 6) is a refined version of the 5 cylinder engine used for almost ten years now in the 850s, S70s, V70s, S60s etc....it was also the engine used in the 960s and S90s. This is a strong engine, with excellent responsiveness due to the small turbochargers. I would not be concerned about the longevity of this engine, this is one thing Volvo does very well.
