Volvo 960 with PRV V6 B280 engine
In some countries the first Volvo 960 was sold with a 6-cylinder B280-engine and B230FT-engine (see above). The PRV (Peugeot Renault Volvo) engines are pretty infamous at Volvo-lovers. But they aren’t as bad as their reputation says: a well maintained B280 is very reliable. But be sure the car is serviced on time and has a full service history. The B28 needed very regular oil changes (every 3.000 miles) to keep the lubrication optimal, otherwise the oil channels will be blocked, leading to severe engine damage (especially the camshafts and replacement of both camshafts is very expensive). The oil channels of the B280 are a lot bigger and doesn’t have the problems of the B28, but changing oil on the B280 takes a little more time: you’ll need to remove the splash plate below the engine and also remove the hose of the airbox to enter the oil drain plug and oil filter.
When you’re planning to buy a Volvo 960 with the V6 Douvrin engine, have a close look on the following items:
The B280 engine has a distribution chain instead of a rubber timing belt, in most cases it doesn’t need a replacement unless it’s making noise or the tensioners are worn out. Be sure the chain isn’t noisy, because parts of this system are very hard to get and even some parts like the chain tensioners aren’t available anymore (some Renault-dealers have them as New Old Stock).
Check for any leaks, especially around the valve covers and front and back of the engine. Oil leaks on a B280 V6 can be very expensive!
Remove the oil cap and check for any sludge. If the car has any sludge it means it has a serious trouble (like a broken cylinder head gaskets, pretty expensive to repair on a B280 engine).
Check the engine wiring harness for any damage or cracks.
Be sure the valves adjusted (no shims needed, it works with special adjustable screws) every year.
When the engine is running: check for any knocks or other strange sounds, and listen carefully how the engine is running. When running idle the engine should run smooth. Drops in revs can be caused by some troubles in the fuel injection system. If the engine shakes too much it means the engine support rubbers are worn out.
Service history is very important when you’re planning to buy a Volvo 960 with V6-engine. It tells you if the car had its much-needed new oil on time, otherwise you might have big problems in the future due poor maintenance.
