wuvvum Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Never driven a 4-pot diesel Volvo before. I'm assuming it's a bit* slower than Fowler's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as slow as I expected to be honest but I wouldn't want to try the 1.6D in a V70. Pulls well through the gears, seems to be mega on fuel too. Absolutely unstressed on the 200-odd mile journey home. RobT, Tickman, AnnoyingPentium and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cms206 Posted March 9, 2023 Author Share Posted March 9, 2023 I've barely seen this sodding thing in daylight; go to work in the dark, come home in the dark... Only updates to note are it's booked in for a cambelt change (no record, though the rest of the sizable history file suggests it has been done) and it's now lost it's private plate. Reverse is occasionally a bit of an arse to engage, but on my mixed commute it's sitting at 49.5mpg on the computer. I'll take that.
