I think (could be wrong) that the engine was designed by Volvo but built by Yamaha. Allegedly when looking at the drawings, Yamaha spotted various faults that would become common and alerted Volvo, but Volvo just replied, "just build it! That's your job." And then they had problems with balance shaft failures. Allegedly. Not more than a rumour, as far as I'm aware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been salivating at XC90's with that lump in them, but the ones on eBay seem to be ALL TEH MUNNYZ 0-60 in under 7 seconds, 130 top end (I'm surprised it's not more) but low 20's mpg.
