Continuing problem with emission sensor warning light. Six visits to dealer to rectify!
Lost second gear, requiring new gearbox (scarp yard). Engine is too strong for gearbox, especially if someone's been hot rodding. Volo service is aware, but didn't let on.
Front tire wear.
Fabulous drive. A butt clenching rocket, that will blow off most anything under $75K.
Beware of turbo torque thrust under punched low gear acceleration. The amount of torque is enormous and being front wheel drive she'll twitch for a second. Very easily handled, but scares the hell out of you at first when you don't know it's coming.
Don't buy anything over 100k miles. The computer which help make this a wonderful car starts to play up after living in the hostile realms of the engine bay. Buy low mileage and have a couple of wonderful years, then get shod of it before the boogie men come.
By emissions, you mean the "chk eng" light? So you mean the rear O2 sensor possibly? What was the eventual remedy. The old owner of my volvo replaced the sensor nearly once a year, so I'm almost certain that it's not bad (unless something is knocking it out)
