![]() I hate to break it to you guys but in my opinion CPO is kind of BS. If not, point out the omission to the dealer's General Sales Manager who sold you the car. Check whether it was attached to your purchase contract bundle. The White Copy is supposed to go to the customer. Or, just trust the on-board diagnostics to pipe up if one cylinder begins misfiring.īTW, look at the bottom of the CPO Inspection Form. You could get a compression test and spark plug inspection done. I could see some concern about whether one cylinder is the leak point, and the spark plug becoming fouled. The best case P3 engine would be a quart down at 8K miles. I've had Volvos (850s) that went thru 1 qt. Having bought 2 CPOs from Volvo dealers, I remember the contract being clear about the car being sold "as is" having gone through their CPO inspection. I think I overstated your bargaining position in my early post. I don't see anything in this inspection that would detect a condition of excess oil consumption where it's going out the tailpipe combusted. Looking it over, I see the engine inspection does not check cylinders for compression. I found this form that Volvo has used for recording the CPO inspection: There's a sticker underside of the hood giving the emission standard your Volvo was built to. Ask Volvo USA for a copy of the ULEV-II Test Report for your 2015.5 T6. You could possibly build a case on the pollution from oil burning - cite the ULEV-II (or ULEV-III) emissions standard that is claimed for the vehicle. If the local Volvo dealer won't respect your complaint, then escalate by taking the problem to Volvo Cars USA. Did you obtain the CPO inspection report when you bought the car? If not, ask for it. If the spark plugs are fouled, this alone would be grounds for repair, or returning the car. An endoscopic inspection of each cylinder with the spark plug removed can determine if the leak is a ring problem. This is a Turbo, so it's possible that there is an oil leak in the turbo unit.the oil gets burned the same as a sloppy ring. I think you have a good case to force Volvo to repair the engine under the CPO program.įirst, don't jump to conclusions about how the oil is being consumed. I realize the '05 has a different engine. Moreover, this engine has an oil consumption problem, right? By comparison, my '05 xc70 barely burned oil and did not require additives or restoration kits in the thirteen years I owned it. I believe the $170 should be returned to me. Additionally, VolvoĪlthough I own the vehicle, I am not the cause of this problem. Although the oil additive is much cheaper than a piston ring overhaul job I was not informed I would be charged for this service. Volvo tech said they no longer perform piston ring changes, instead using engine oil additives (BG Extended Life MOA) as part of an 'Engine Performance Restoration Kit'. The tech appeared to have heard this complaint before. The Certified Pre-Owned vehicle was purchased ten months prior at which time the 50,000 mile service was completed (oil change included). The 60,000 mile service was completed four months prior at 57,500 miles. Among other minor inconveniences, I informed Volvo service that my '15.5 T6 xc70 burns 1 quart oil per 2,500 miles. ![]()
