I have a 2001 V70 T5 Auto with an LPG conversion. It's done 80,000 miles. Whilst trying to get home through the floods in Gloucestershire, my transmission failed.
Sometimes the car will travel a short distance, but often there is no power at all. The engine starts and runs normally. My Volvo dealer says that the transmission fluid smells burnt and they are 99% sure that they will need to replace the transmission as a complete unit.
Has anyone else experienced the transmission failing due to water entering the system somewhere? Where could the water get in without affecting the engine?
Is it possible a failure elsewhere has caused the transmission to 'burn out'?
Cheers,
Mark.
