Hi all - picked up a cheapish 2005 2.5T geartronic V70 recently - only done 85k. It goes well but is a bit tiring to drive as the front end doesn't seem very smooth - there's a vibration felt when I place a foot lightly on the brake pedal without pressing down, the car is twitchy (and vibrates more at about 75mph) and a bit lumpy on changing down to a stop. It also vibrates at a stop in drive but not so much in neutral. There's little/no vibration through the steering wheel.
I had an indy look at it and they said all the lower engine mounts are fine but the top was split so they changed that but it's made things worse if anything.
They noticed the front wishbones are polybushed and suggested changing them to Volvo ones - is this likely to improve it and is there anything else to look at?
It's also using a fair amount of oil - but they couldn't see any leaks (bone dry they said). Is this usual?
Thanks
Jack
