I own a 2000 V70 R. I live in Toronto, Canada. I just took it into the dealer for the 72kms service, as well as to correct a rough start when cold problem and a few other items to get done before the warranty runs out at
80,000 kms. They claimed the 48,000 kms service had not been done (I bought the vehicle about 1 year ago), so that was done as well. New plugs, etc.They recommended doing an Electronic Throttle Service as well as a PCV Valve service to help correct the rough start problem, and generally bring the vehicle to spec. So far so good. They did a few other things under warranty.
When I drove the vehicle away from the dealer, I noticed billows of blue smoke coming out of the exhaust after about three minutes of driving. It also lost power and was limping along. I turned around immediately and drove back and left the car with them. I received a phone call in about an hour to tell me they discovered that the car was overfilled with oil due to bad calibration of the nozzle that measure out oil from drums for oil changes and that everything was ok now.
Question to you all - can the vehicle "be ok now" as they claim? The loss of power when I was driving must mean that it was forcing oil into all kinds of places where oil shouldn't be - seals, gaskets, etc. How about the turbo? They also must have road tested it, so the condition could have existed beyond the driving I did.
Should I insist they rebuild the engine? Should I ask for a new engine? Should I cry? Please help me to prepare for the conversation I'm about to have with them tomorrow. I have their loaner for now.
Thanks,
Henry
