Volvo 2012 S60 engine burned up with no warning lights or anything. Has 95,000 miles on it. There must be some sort of remedy from Volvo with such a common problem. Anyone have advice what to do with the car....fix it? trade it?
Thanks for your time and help

 

What does that mean "burned up" - it was overheated until it stopped running? It threw a rod or seized because there was no oil in it?

 

mine did close to same thing but threw a themp symbol. I shut it down immediately but had to fix and fill with oil. I hear this is very common for all t6 models with the 3.o straight 6. I did an oil change 6 Months ago, full synthetic and checked it was empty. Had to replace plugs, and an ignition coil. It fried it and wouldn't start till i did plugs. Today blew out exhaust cloud for 1 sec and was fine after that? Who knows what that was but hopefully ok. Sorry to hear that, just not heard what anyone did after this happened. Its a nice car and safe. You could probably get another engine for cheaper than you think! Goodluck! Let me know if you find anything out!

 

My 2012 T5 S60 burns about 1 quart every 700-800 miles. That is equivalent to every time you pump gas, you need to pour oil too. And I am hearing a lot of people online are having this issue. It seem to be 2012-2014 years, which is the years when they introduced the new models with the turbo??? Volvo needs to warn people of this, because you go pass your 3000 mile oil change and your engine is done.
