Dealer findings on Misfire
2010 XC60 with 160K miles. Previous posting - engine lost compression, ~10-15 PSI in 1,2,4,5,6 and 40 PSI in 3. Oil in the cylinders brought it back up to 145 PSI in all.
Previously, Foreign Sports ($215) said it was the air-oil separator, replaced that, still misfiring. Got nothing more from them. After replacing the plugs, coils, injectors, MAF sensor, Air-Oil separator, intake seals and cleaning the throttle body I still had a misfire.
Took it to Rusnak Volvo and said I wanted to know what was causing the misfire. I told them all I had done. They came back with pistons and rings do not hold compression and oil mist. Rebuild engine for $25,331.63. Also gave a list of things that needed replacement - front wiper blades $170.60, rear wiper blade $85.45, battery $542.21, coolant $384.11, power steering fluid $322.11, tie rods $789.53, rear brake pads $1093.60, alignment $270.00, power steering cooler hose $1339.99, rear sway bar links $766.27
I did not ask them to give me a list of everything they could replace. I measured the cylinders at 145 PSI, which is a little low but should not be causing a misfire. You can smell fuel in the exhaust. The engine does not smoke and the plugs do not show much carbon. A waste of $271.
A 100K miles engine is $1200, a crate engine is $12k. Carmax says a running 2010 XC60 is worth $1000.
Are people really dim enough to pay $170 for a pair of wiper blades that costs $22 (Bosch) retail?
