OEM Volvo

Share:
Having had one for a little over a decade now, my experience has been that the engine itself is generally quite reliable. As someone else said, valve cover gaskets can and do leak and when they do, they are likely to take out the alternator which is a massive pain to replace as it is sandwiched between the block and the fire wall.
Pros: engine generally quite reliable
Cons: valve cover gaskets leak
Vehicle:
Volvo S80
