2004 Volvo V70 D5 S review from UK and Ireland
"Would not recommend to anyone"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very poor starting and running, injectors replaced, no improvement.
Poor and spongy brakes.
Noisy rear suspension.
Aircon (climate control) refused to work.
Alarm / immobiliser constantly faulty.
Random error reports on dashboard.
Info centre works only intermittently.
Seat fabric wearing very badly.
Loads of trim rattles.
General comments?
Very disappointing, poorly built and inadequate dealer support.
Slow and tiresomely noisy at most speeds.
Awful fuel consumption, all of the compromises of diesel, but none of the claimed advantages.
