Hi, I need some advise on my 2000 model V70 T5 turbo Automatic. The car has always driven superbly with masses of power until 2 weeks ago whilst doing 55 mph the engine stalled and haven't been able to start it since. The engine does not crank over very fast, there is 60 psi on the end cylinders and 120 psi on the others, so low compression on two opposite end cylinders. From too much cranking, had to replace the starter motor and solenoid as white smoke coming from it so this is now brand new. The battery is fully charged and almost new and the correct battery for the car. Fuel is getting through to the engine and electrical tests have been done with no faults found. Timing belt is intact and when cranking camshaft seems to be working fine as I can see rockers etc moving up and down when I look inside the oil filler cap. The engine has plenty of oil. there were no strange noises or warnings prior to car dieing, however the music was on quite loud. The ECU diagnostics is not reporting any problems and the garage Ive taken it to say the problem is more than likely in the gearbox or engine. Possibly crank shaft or torque/tool converter (whatever its called) but they are not certain without doing a strip down or separation of gearbox and engine to see why low cranking and compression. The garage tried to turn the engine over by hand and said it was extremely hard to turn. I don't know what to do, everything has been checked thoroughly, no lose electrical connections etc. Can anyone shed some light on this please?
