What value on this V70?

wel defo looks like an issue with DPF ... last chance saloon .....is going to gut it out and see what happens next , if it runs better then i will decide from there , and top marks to Stribo ...£800 was the magical figure offered from the salvage boys

I hope you get somewhere with this but, as per my previous post, give me a shout if it comes to disposing for spares/repair.

Also, bear in mind I'm not far away and have Vida/dice here if you need it.

Thanks Yosser...yes..noticed your interest so would let you know

Update on this.....gave the car to pipe dynamics in Leven, they done their magic, had it remapped to suit the work done and it now pulls like a train, transformed now

Thoroughly recommend them, some of their exhaust work is amazing

Result, thanks for updating the thread.

Never heard of them, always good to hear recommendations of places up here.

Happy ending... Nice

This is the pipe work from them

Good result, should be worth £805 now.

I would give it £800-£900

I had one in like this, owned by a chauffer service who only did airport runs. it had done 425k on a 06 plate. it turned out to be a broken head. where the tappet sits it had broken off- god knows how as it drove in to us.
started as a dpf and other faults and ended up with a new head.......

actually, your intercooler isn't split is it ?

**The Flying Banana** · Monday 21st July 2014, 14:05

no split in intercooler ...car is running faultlessly now, just done a 500 mile round trip over Scotland on all road types, reached some decent speeds with acceleration pulling like a train,

previously as it got worse so did average MPG but back up to around 41mpg avg compared to its lowest of 27 !!

Main dealers were pretty hopeless TBH ... on one occasion they apparently removed DPF, replaced soot filter , rebuilt it and only charged approx. £78 ... this has never been done ever so I will need to take that up with them ...I have the old one as proof

So its a definite happy ending for this car !
