I am total disapointed with Volvo and the D16. I have codes on the dash coming up over the years and the codes shut down my engine. Does anyone know if' broken data link and engine default' would be a bad Engine ECU ?

volvo warranties are a joke. i have a $2000 bill which they will not cover because the dealership kept stalling on paying the bill; until truck was to old and warranty ran out. canadian driver

Another two weeks, another level 3 dpf filter problem. Last two times over past month 7th injector cleaned, laptop regen done. Now I'm out of town and SAME problem broken down. No level 1 or level 2 warnings. Goes right to level 3 giving no warning. Who knows what tonites mechanic will find.

Volvo put another injector + cup set and looks like I have 95% of my power back. I also got a new turbo and 7th injector out of it as well. I only have 180K on my truck so they seem to be willing to pay for it all.
Volvo has been pretty good about fixing everything, I guess due to the very low kms. No one seems to know what was wrong with the other set of injectors/cups.

I am so sorry, but your problems will just continue over and over.

looking at volvo D16 D13 witch one is a better one to run what about the cummins isx

Apparently dealer 1 never bothered to reattach the airline to the 7th injector or reattach the wiring harness. They also left out on an air regulator that wad never put on with the solenoid kit. The 7th injector was too badly plugged and had to be replaced. The fuel regulator to the 7th injector had to be replaced. $2500 later it seems to have done its first regen, although it never tells you if it is successful. There is also no indicator of soot level without a laptop, so you never really know where you are, especially if it isn't reporting level 1 or 2 warnings. Without this insanely complex and burdensome emission system the truck would probably be fine. Thank your local ecoterrorists for this nonsense.

I have had turbo ,egr ,egr cooler, all fail then dropped the intake valve in #6 and had to replce the engine because they wanted 38,000 to rebuild that one

all of that in less the a year

If its relatively new I'd sue them.

i have a volvo in my shop that has a d16-535 in it.when you start it it run on 5 cylinders ecm coded #5 injector bad replaced still doing same thing.ecm says #5 inj. bad if you let it run and come up to temp. shut the key off wait 10 sec then restart runs fine?

Witch year is your volvo?

2008 is the year of the volvo

Well Another update in the Saga.
Truck in for safety inspection. have complained of exhaust in cab. Result the techs found that the slip joint in the exhaust manifold is scored and the gaskets worn. Apparently Volvo knows of issues relating to this 3 piece design of the exhaust manifold as there is now a new updated (OLD) one piece casting available. Problems start now: parts and labour to install new updated parts in neighborhood of 3000.00. Tried to just get them to reseal the existing manifold but they have no guarantee that it will not be leaking again as the cast is scored at the joint. So checked my warranty papers ( I have only the base warranty left had the 3 year platinum but expired) it states that the exhaust manifold casing is covered for 5 years and 805,000 kms. So i believe that Volvo should be covering this part and the extended parts to update and the labour less the gaskets as they are a wear part covered only for 12 months. Already I am haviong the talk with the service manager who is summiting the claim and he says possibility of rejection because the casing is not cracked in any way casing failure. I claim that the scoring at the joints is a failure as new gaskets within the joint will not seal as per service lead hand. Also it would apopear that the updated parts from Volvo signals to me anyway of a defect in product and they acknowledge it by the redesign. Well we will see. I know that Volvo regional managers check in and monitor this site as I have been contacted and asked to clarify some of my posts in the past. So Please Volvo DON'T SCREW ME AGAIN. History will show that I have had my share of problems and Extensive downtime from issues with the design of this truck specifically the D16 Engine and i am due one break from the all powerful VOLVO NORTH AMERICA.

AS a post script to the last posting I would like to ask VOLVO also why i can not get a answer as to why my DPF designed truck that had clean pipes for two years now emits black tar like syrup from the pipes and when I will possibly get a answer as to when they may replace my passenger side fuel tank that is totally deformed at the front where the DPF has heated the aluminum to melt it and a 3 inch bulge as formed at the lower half.
By the way for VOLVO reference my last six is 490320
