After thinking things over, I am coming to the realization that I am too poor to own and maintain a European luxury vehicle. This last incedent wa s the final straw, it’s time to get something else.
The volvo lost a cylinder, with that and the passenger control arm in the process of coming detatched and a blown cv, plus a timing service due soon, and a bunch of other little things that I don’t have time/ space to fix.
Does anybody want to buy a slightly neglected but salvageable 2005 volvo xc70 with 155k on the clock?

My C30 is in the shop with a possibly failed ECU so... no.

My 2004 needed new bushings at around 100k and passenger ball joints around this same time...I think that’s nature of the beast.. lost a cylinder, though? We’re the coil packs ever replaced?

My 1998 V70 with almost 320k has needed quite a bit over the years, but she's still going. I'm pretty sure I can see 400k if I keep treating her right. With a bit of DIY and planned maintenance an older Volvo can go a long time. I think the P2's and newer are when they got that much more difficult to keep up with.

I’d lay money that’s what it’s going to be. Did you replace all 5 at the time? You should have a couple spare used ones on the shelf somewhere. Pull the codes and the ECU will tell you which cylinder is missing. This is like a 20 min job to get back on the road.

I am unable to work on my car where i live due to community restrictions. The list of problems is long and the cost to fix them, even doing the work myself, exceeds any potential resale value.
I like this car, but I don’t love it. I might feel different if it were a manual, or a little more fun to drive.
