Re: Volvo diesels / opinions on longevity+reliability 200

No, they suck.

I got 250k with virtually no maintenance, but I was almost anal about getting 2000 mile oil changes, using diesel coolant additive, and premium fuel.

Most people had thrown them out long before that.

A few of us did really well. The engines were very capable of going long distances with the RIGHT maintenance, and that is the maintenance that the average person does not want to provide or pay for. The gas engines are a world apart.
